How To Manage Seismic Parameters In Protastructure Suite 2025

ProtaStructure supports numerous seismic codes including IBC, UBC, EC8,
NSCP, SNI, Indian, Thai, Peruvian, Colombian, and Turkish standards. The
software allows you to define the seismic parameters through a user-friendly
wizard. Horizontal and vertical elastic and design spectra are calculated
automatically using code-specified parameters. Also, site-specific spectra can
be introduced. Mass sources are automatically calculated including
consideration of varied live load participation.

After the seismic parameters being introduced, static earthquake loads
are automatically calculated and applied at story levels. You can check the
seismic loadings and the results of the seismic analyses through a
state-of-the-art analytical model.

In this video, you will learn how to manage seismic parameters in the
ProtaStructure with the guidance of Prota Software Product Manager Mustafa Tan
(Civil Engineer, MSc.). Furthermore, you will learn how to manage the diaphragm
options.
