The same Seismic Category applies to all buildings in a given site, regardless of occupancy:
*
True
False
The increase in seismic hazard can be largely attributed to:
*
Increased Design Spectral Acceleration
Changes to Higher Mode Factor calculation
Minimum ductility requirements for High Importance Buildings
Decreased SFRS Overstrength and Ductility Factors
Continuous Hold-downs are used in Plywood Shearwalls to:
*
Provide overturning capacity even when wood shrinks
Avoid putting built-up studs into tension
Deal with high overturning forces in high seismic regions
All of the above
Which of the following statements is NOT correct:
*
Comparing in-plane deflections for both SFRS and diaphragms can give a good indication for the most accurate diaphragm flexibility assumption
Plywood diaphragms supported on plywood shearwalls will always behave as a flexible diaphragm
FEA modelling is not required to carry out a rigid diaphragm analysis
Plywood shearwalls have a non-linear relationship between load and deflection
