SofistiK Analysis and design 2023 for Revit Part 5 Seismic Analysis based on Eurocodes

In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance (abbreviated EN 1998 or, informally, EC 8) describes how to design structures in seismic zone, using the limit state design philosophy. It was approved by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) on 23 April 2004. Its purpose is to ensure that in the event of earthquakes:

human lives are protected;
damage is limited;
structures important for civil protection remain operational.
The random nature of the seismic events and the limited resources available to counter their effects are such as to make the attainment of these goals only partially possible and only measurable in probabilistic terms. The extent of the protection that can be provided to different categories of buildings, which is only measurable in probabilistic terms, is a matter of optimal allocation of resources and is therefore expected to vary from country to country, depending on the relative importance of the seismic risk with respect to risks of other origin and on the global economic resources.

Special structures, such as nuclear power plants, offshore structures and large dams, are beyond the scope of EN 1998. EN 1998 contains only those provisions that, in addition to the provisions of the other relevant Eurocodes, must be observed for the design of structures in seismic regions. It complements in this respect the other EN Eurocodes.

eismic analysis is needed to investigate the response of a structure to earthquakes and design the structures accordingly. Several types of methods may be used for the seismic analysis of bridges such as static seismic method, response spectrum method, pushover analysis, and time history analysis

Three basic methods are available for analyzing the responses of a structure subjected to seismic ground wave: Static analysis. Response spectra analysis. Time history analysis.

in this tutorial video we have been shown how to make a seismic analysis for a structural bim model, froma revit to sofisistik SSD and Sofistik analysis and design
