The sum of the overturning moments resulting from seismic loads at the bottom of the walls used in TBDY Articles 4.3.2.3 , 4.3.4.5 and 4.3.4.6 , M DEV , values ​​according to 4.5.3.7 (d) or 4.5.3.8 (c) for non- gap walls , It is calculated according to 4.5.4.3 for curtains with gaps . The M o value of the total overturning moment occurring at the base from earthquake loads for the whole building is calculated using the 4.8.2 mode combination method described in Annex 4B.2.5 .

The base tipping moment of the bond beam (hollow) wall is calculated by the following equation:

Here, as the total tipping moment at the base of the wall with M DEV bond beam (hollow), the bending moments obtained at the base due to the earthquake effect in the curtain parts forming the wall with M 1 and M 2 bond beams, and N V as the sum of the shear forces formed in the bond beams under the earthquake effect over the whole wall height, It corresponds to equal tensile and pressure axial forces formed at the base of the curtain parts. c shows the distance between the cross-section gravity centers of the curtain parts.

To use in the above equation , the p arameters M 1 , M 2 , N V and M DEV are calculated as follows:

The element group to be controlled with gaps is separated from the system, the inverted triangle unit is automatically loaded according to the weight of the floors . In this calculation, the value of unit loading is not important, the curtain group and tie beams separated from the system take loads in proportion to their own rigidity. In the automatic calculation, the force to be applied to the curtain group is determined. Then this force is distributed to each floor depending on its own weight using the following equations. The distributed force is applied to the center of the wall group and the parameters M 1 , M 2 , N V obtained as a result of this effect are replaced in the above equation.

The M o value of the total overturning moment occurring at the base from earthquake loads for the whole building is calculated using the 4.8.2 mode combination method described in Annex 4B.2.5 . In a typical nth vibration mode for the (X) earthquake direction (X) given in accordance with Annex 4B.2.5 , the largest modal base shear force V (X) txn, max and corresponding maximum base overturning moment M ( X) oxn, max Equation (4B.7) is calculated by:

Below is a sample report where the modal base shear forces and the corresponding base overturning moment are calculated according to TBDY Annex 4B.2.5.
