  1. SDG is an Excel program to design moment frame, braced frame, and shear wall structures for gravity, lateral wind and seismic loads SDG computes and visualizes the effect of gravity and lateral loads SDG requires some knowledge of structural design for gravity and lateral wind and seismic loads SDG requires a PC with MS Excel macros Enabled Press > Ctrl-Shift-R to run SDG

  2. If column AB is corrupt copy column AL-AM and paste it into AB

  3. Output data Input data Seismic data brown Wind data green Moment frame

  4. Input data as requested Building module considered (red block)

  5. Enter Ss & S1 or Ss & S1 = 0 (or blank) to enter Cs otherwise Cs is computed per Ss & S1

  6. Select load displayed: • G = gravity load • EQ = earthquake load • W = wind load • G + EQ load • G + wind load

  7. 80 15 As is or as modified 1 2 3

  8. 2

  9. Input top width (feet)

  10. Stuck 2 Top level: 12 Stuck 1 Top level: 3

  11. Optional select and copy (Ctrl C) data to make graphs in new Excel sheet or make graphs on this sheet

  12. Paste selected data into a new sheet Select chart type

  13. Select columns to graph

  14. Wind overturn moment

  15. Braced frame Posts Braces

  16. Braced frame posts P3 = post 3 P4 = post 4 Axial force (k = kip)

  17. Braced frame braces V-br = V-brace D-br = D-brace Axial force (k = kip)

  18. Shear wall Shear wall

  19. Input shear wall strengths (klf) @ line 2 Output: Shear wall lengths required (ft)

  20. Select and copy (Ctrl C) data and Post data (Ctrl V) in new Excel sheet Data to make graphs

  21. Shear wall lengths (feet) Wall 3: 8 klf Wall 2: 7 klf Wall 1: 6 klf
