RE: STADD.Pro V8i - Direct Analysis Method AISC 350-05 / 10
The purpose of DIRECT ANALYSIS is to compute the member forces for strength design. For computing drifts, deflections you should use a PDELTA 15 ANALYSIS with the un-reduced stiffness and not a DIRECT ANALYSIS. Both analysis commands could be part of…
Re: STORY DRIFT
The easiest would possibly be to use the IMR command in your spectrum case. Here is an example

I'd like to know how to check Deflection(For Horizontal member, Such as Beam, Girder) and Drift(For Vertical Member, Such as Column)
Here is My Command
