Strong Column-Weak Beam Checks (NSR-10-C)

Summary

After completing the building analysis, ProtaStructure checks global and local ductility conditions in compliance with NSR-10 Title C 21.6. These checks are essential for ensuring structural integrity and seismic performance. The software evaluates ductility through systematic calculations, including the strong column-weak beam ratio, to ensure structures can resist earthquake forces.

This document explains the strong column-weak beam checks performed by ProtaStructure. It provides insights into the methodology used for these calculations. Additionally, it includes a numerical example based on a realistic 4-story building model. The example demonstrates how ProtaStructure automates complex calculations. This helps engineers achieve accurate and reliable results with ease.
