Hello
I think the notional horizontal loads are given only to check
the sway stability of the rigid jointed frame i.e. we have to calculate the
deflection
of each storey , for these notional hor. loads with gravity loads and check
the
criteria given in Cl. 4.1.2 c) .
We don't have to design the structure for these hypothetical loads, so
there is
no question of considering other loads with these notional hor. loads.

But i would like to know from moderators & others whether the deflection
given as per Cl 4.1.2 c) is absolute or relative.

Regards
