What is Checking Seismic Drift in ETABS about?
1. To check seismic drift in ETABS, we must first apply property modifiers to account for cracking under gravity loads before seismic forces are applied. 2. We then extract the story drift data from ETABS tables and add columns to calculate maximum inelastic response displacement and compare to allowable drift limits specified by codes like UBC97. 3. The drift is computed as the relative displacement between stories divided by the story height and accounts for effects of gravity and seismic loads using
