Seismic Analysis - Specifying seismic weights through Reference load cases - Structural Analysis and Design ...
To illustrate this method, let us assume that there are four reference load types defined in the manner
shown below.
DEFINE REFERENCE LOADS
LOAD R1 LOADTYPE None TITLE DL1
SELFWEIGHT Y -1 LIST 1 TO 1101
Seismic Analysis - Specifying seismic weights through Reference load cases - Structural Analysis and Design ...
JOINT LOAD
69 78 81 84 95 FZ 3.5
So, the seismic load case in the model will look like this
LOAD 1 EQ IN X
1893 LOAD X 1.0
and, the gravity load case will look like this
* COMBINATION LOAD CASE FOR CONCRETE DESIGN
LOAD 7

REFERENCE LOAD
R1 1.2 R2 1.2 R3 1.5 R4 1.5
Thus, the load data has to be specified only once in the model, and can be used for lateral as well as
gravity analysis.
