We had live interactive session on stiffness modifier as per IS 16700:2017, IS 15988:2013 & IS 1893(Part 1):2016 on 27-Sep-20. There were many interesting questions raised by the participants:
- What is the difference between factored and unfactored loads as per IS 16700
- Is there any impact on structural behaviour due to stiffness modifier?
- Why there are different set of modifiers for wind and seismic loads?
- Do we need to apply stiffness modifiers for footing design?
- Can we apply modifiers to only selected members in the structures?
- And many more….
Link of the recorded session is attached below. Your further comments/suggestions are welcome on the stiffness modifiers.
You may also suggest topics which may be taken up in the next weekly sessions (Sunday at 11:00am).
