Standardized Lateral Loading

The "Standardized Lateral Loading" table lists the related horizontal forces and moments that are available at the mass points of the model. If the initial load factor is 1.0, the table values correspond to the loading of the structural system in the first load increment of the pushover calculation.

The standardized forces and moments are determined according to EN 1998‑1 [1] Eq. (B.1).

The displacements are standardized by setting Φn to 1. "n" designates the number of the control node, which is usually located in the roof plane.
