Limit drift between floors due to seismic action

In version 2023.c, the limit drift between floors due to seismic action was implemented in CYPECAD by means of user-entered values.

Now, in version 2023.e, the limit drift between floors due to seismic action can be selected for several codes.

An automatic selection can be made according to one of the codes in which the drifts have been implemented, or the values can be entered manually.

An indication is given in the final report of the analysis if any of the elements do not comply with any of the selected limits.

The codes in which the limit drift between floors due to seismic action have been added in version 2023.e are:

  • EN 1998-1
