3 1. Imperfection Loads as per EN & EN Equivalent Horizontal Loads Global initial sway imperfection is determined as coefficient, Ф, which is multiplied by vertical loads of structure. Clause 5.3.2(4)B in EN states that where the overall applied lateral loads are more than 15% of the vertical loads in a member then the notional horizontal loads can be ignored. This is expressed as HEd 0.15 VEd. Example of Equivalent Horizontal Load 3 /20

4 1. Imperfection Load as per EN & EN (continued) Calculate the coefficient, Ф Load > Settlement/Etc. > Imperfection > Imperfection Data It provides both automatic calculation of coefficient considering story height and no. of columns and user defining feature of user coefficient. However if the column is slanted or if it does not contain the nodes from either corresponding story or upper story, it is not possible to obtain the no. of columns automatically. Calculate Imperfection Load Load > Settlement/Etc. > Imperfection > Create Imperfection Load Create Load Case and Nodal Load for Imperfection automatically. Equivalent load of Local Imperfection is not supported and Nodal Load should be defined by user for wall or slanted column. 4 /20

For the Load Combination which contains lateral load, imperfection load case in the same direction as lateral load will only be considered. Below is the example of Imperfection Load Case for Dead Load, Live Load, Wind Load and Seismic Load for Load Combination. Table for Imperfection Check Results > Result Table > Imperfection It provides Check Table to show how factored load is applied to Imperfection Load. Table on the right shows that application of Imperfection Load is required if 15% of Axial Force is greater than Horizontal Force. Horizontal Force < 0.15*Axial Force 6 /20
