DATA:
For exterior wall use = 150 mm thick
For interior wall use = 100 mm thick
Weight of concrete (reinforced) = 24 KN/m3 including reinforcing bars.
Unit weight of CHB = 280kg/m3 x 9.81 m/s2 = 2.75 KN/m3

BASED ON NSCP 2010:

I = 1.5 for essential structure
Cv = 0.64 Nv for SD (medium stiff)
Z = 0.4 Seismic Zone 4
Ct = 0.0731 for RC Moment Resisting Frame
Ca = 0.44Na which is Na = 1 (Near Source Factor)
Nv = 1
hn = 12.8
R = 2.5, = 2.8 Ordinary R.C. Structure

DEAD LOAD COMPUTATION:

W = {[(vol. of column + vol. of beam + vol. of slab) x 24 KN/m3] + (vol. of wall x 2.75
KN/m3)}
FRAME C for TRANSVERSE

W1 = {[(4x0.25x0.5x1.6) + (4x0.25x0.4x1.6) + (10x0.25x0.4) + (4x0.25x0.4x4)

+ (2x4x1.6x0.10)] x 2.75 KN/m3]} = 231.89 KN

W = W1 + W2 + W3 + W4
W = 267.36 KN + 263.52 KN + 260.45 KN + 231.89 KN

By Static Procedure:
T = Ct (hn)3/4
T = 0.0731 (12.8)3/4 = 0.5
T = 0.5 < 0.7 therefore, use 0.7
