Storey Results

For a detailed description of storey results and their usage, see the following pages:

Summary storey results

The service “Summary Storey Results” provides results directly produced by the IRS analysis (see Reduced analysis model ). At this time, this service is dedicated to result output for the seismic analysis of buildings. It provides single results per storey, such as mass, position of mass center, displacement, acceleration…

Summary storey results are available only when the reduced modal analysis is enabled and storey are defined.

Types of results:

For mass combinations

Storey data: mass & mass center of each storey

Displacements of storey mass center per mode

Accelerations of storey mass center per mode

For seismic load cases

Displacements of storey mass center

Accelerations of storey mass center

Inter-storey drift at storey mass centers

Detailed Storey Results

The service “Detailed Storey Results” provides results from the full mesh analysis. At this time, it may be used for results from any linear analysis, with or without dynamic analysis, with or without IRS analysis. It provides results in all supporting members, with easy selection of members per storey. Walls and columns may be represented on the same drawing. Typical provided results are: internal forces, resultants per wall or per storey…

Tip: before using detailed storey results, make sure that all supporting members of the building are properly allocated to storeys. That information is essential for proper handling of storey results.

Type of results

Internal forces in supporting members

Selection by storey

Extreme by member (also for walls !)

Walls & columns on the same drawing

Simple choice of section level

Display of average & total value for walls

Available for static & seismic results

Also suitable e.g. for load descending

Resultant forces in supporting members

Resultant for each wall on the same drawing

Clear display of more components

+ all the key points mentioned previously

Resultant forces in supporting members per storey

Resultant of all supporting members at once (walls + columns combined)

+ all the key points mentioned previously

Shear Center per Storey

The shear center per storey cannot be obtained directly from SCIA Engineer results. A method is proposed here to obtain it from standard results.
