Capacity Spectrum evaluator uses Capacity Spectrum = (32*Spacing of Secondary Members*Length of Secondary Member^4)/(10^7*Moment of Inertia of Secondary Member) to evaluate the Capacity Spectrum, The Capacity Spectrum formula is defined as the capacity curve transformed from shear force vs. roof displacement coordinates into spectral acceleration vs. spectral displacement coordinates. Capacity Spectrum is denoted by Cs symbol.
