Difference between ACI Code and Eurocode in Stiffness modifiers?

Engineering Asked by J.Daou on May 8, 2021

According to the ACI Code stiffness modifiers (modifiers used to reduce the moment of inertia) are used for each structural elements for example 0.7 for columns and 0.35 for beams…

For those who do seismic and/or wind design according to Eurocode where are these modifiers used and if they are not clearly available like in the ACI Code how does the code apply these modifiers ? does eurocode use a coefficient to reduce the compressive strength of the concrete instead of using these coefficient?

Thank you in Advance.

One Answer

euro code also use the same approach but the values are different euro code allows to use a value of 0.5 for beams columns and slabs.
