Case study Building Case study building compose of 4 stories Story height is 3.5 m Total height is 14 m All stories are to be designed as beam-slab system
Step 1: Determine Seismic Zone Factor Z Step 2 : Determine Soil Profile Type
Step 3: Determine the Occupancy Categories and Importance Factor I
Step 4 : Classify the Structural System and determine the Response Modification Factor R
Step 5 : Determine Ground Response Coefficients and
Step 6a : Determine Fundamental period T Type equation here. =0.353 Sec
Step 6b : Calculate time-period by FE model Since Tx<Ta So select time period Tx=0.287 Sec
Step 7: Determine the Seismic Response Coefficient = 0.1845 Step 8 Determine the Base Shear x8400 =1549.8 KN One story weight = 2100KN
But V can not exceed by following Equation = 815 .3 KN = 304.9 KN Remember that:
Step 8 : Vertical Distribution of Base Shear into Lateral Forces Ft = 0 Since Tx =0.287 ( Ft =0 for T<0.7 sec) = (2100x14)+(2100x10.5)+(2100x7)+(2100x3.5) =73500 KNm V= 815 .3
