Please keep in mind, this artide isnot about the bulding dit as far as structural science is concerned, rather this topic of drift elated to EFAS software fein structural engineering involves too many factors to arrive at a suitable decision. Tt First ofall you must be familiar with the term story drift. For convenience, fam quoting here the definitions from UBC- g7eode:- STORY DRIFT isthe lateral displacement of one eve eative to the level above or below STORY DRIFT RATIO isthe story drift divided by the tory eight 2) Maximum Limits Now what for story drift Tits?

As we want the drift for wind tobe on drift oad combinations and not on wind load eases, so we will ot compare this wind drift without limits. In this table we are going to chock ust the drift values of our ETAUS model fer individual eeismicload cases; HQ end LQ. ‘As you notice, this table shows us values in faction format, For example 1/105 that becomes 0.009529809524, Tis 1/105 valueis story drift vided by story ht. It means dltaS/ story ht Now this value is delta S. First we need to convert it to delta M by mulplyingit with 0.7R, Assume R here ie 3.580 deta M 133 which is less than 0.025 30 safe (ifT<0.7) So instead of ealeulating everytime by 0.78 we ean check these limits in other way. {four limit is 0,025 then te limit we gt is0.025/R/0.7.

Well we are not going to talk about diferent measures and modeling techniques to control the drift values. We ae gongto talk about large numbers in dit tables, Sometimesit happens that a point or node i fe inthe model ors connected to a NULLline or very fexble section, Drit tables for example the story drift table in wind captures the maximum displaced points Obviously the dlslacement of several ctersin ables is ot what we ae looking for. Def values (relative) may be sl okay for these points, bu it requires you to check the displacement values too before checking directly the drift, Unlockthe model and remove all fee points, check for any disconinty and modify your models to remove all the errors. esha Toei ayaan oma Nicely exptined, fkana Waseem thanks mar Maku | Pato a8 Nay 9015-0905 Good article; wil throw my two cents Seismie rift values are much larger than wind values. VBC uses maximum inelastic response displacements rather than the design level displacements to verify the performance ofthe building, As stated above, the seitmie drift Himits are 9% {& 2.5% of the story height for long and short -period buildings. So, fora floor to oor height of 2 eet the max, allowable inelastie drift value would be 9% of 12 feet-0,09°12" ainches~2.88 inches. For wind fora 2 story height, drift would be Ly 400=12"12/400 =0.36 inches, A comparison ofboth wind and seismic drift imits shows that ‘earthquake inelastic displacements are quiet large compared to wind displacements.
