Question

Posted by Manojkumar Rabout 2 years ago

I am performing the hilti analysis for electrical substation GIS supporting structures (Steel structures). I have used the factored load case to take the reaction force and to design hilti, even though i have used factored load case should i consider and select the seismic case for the Load case that are governed by seismic.

Selecting seismic condition,seismic hilti design

Hi Manoj Kumar,

As per ETA, if the seismic load (both tension and shear) is less than or equal to 20% of the total design load then design can be done using static condition in Profis Engineering.

Hope this helps.
