Dear all, Salam...
I am designing one storey frame in seismic zone 4 (quetta) using ETABS v 9.7.2...building is a RCC bunker (105'X38') with adjacent office area (105'X50').. since RCC bunker has walls and slabs of thicknesses upto 4' and 8' thick... it becomes very stiff structure..how will frame structure for office adjacent to it will perform... guide me if I can take it as Non sway structure (office area) or not or I may design it by selecting SMRF option only in design preferences...kindly give me also literature/code reference for choosing SMRF/Nonsway criteria in zone 4 area of Pakistan....
