The building parameters (as can be seen in Fig.1) include the total number of stories, total height of the building and its overall dimensions in plan (in both X and Y directions). In the same table, one should also enter the number of column types in the building (i.e., the number of different cross-sections, which in the current version of the tool is limited to five) and specify the parameter of “stiffness ratio” between horizontal and vertical structural elements (beams and columns) of the building. In addition, the user should enter the mechanical parameters of the structural concrete (E-Modulus and Poisson’s ratio) and E-Modulus of the walls. The user should use the measure units as indicated in the tables.
