Hi,
I am conducting a seismic analysis using equivalent lateral force method of UBC 1997 for a low-rise building in the Philippines. The National Structural Code of the Philippines employs the UBC 1997 method and parameters for static analysis. Such parameters include seismic coefficients Ca and Cv. However, Robot does not have this code for this procedure. May I know any alternative for this? IBC 2012 would be a good option but the problem is there is no available spectral maps that is widely acceptable/used in the Philippines. Part of why I am conducting this analysis is to verify the results of robot against using ETABS (which still has its UBC1997 code for static analysis).
Hoping to get urgent response for this.
Thank you!
