SEISMIC DESIGN PROCEDURE
1-Identify appropriate structural system
Frames, Shear walls, Combination
2-Classify occupancy category of the structure. Table
16K UPC97
3-Determine components of base shear coefficients.
4-Identify structural system limitations and irregularities.

5-Select appropriate lateral force procedure.
6-Determine the total base shear.
7-Determine the distribution of the design base shear
over the structure height.
8-Analye P- effects of the structure.
9-Examine overturning effects caused by earthquake
forces
10-Evaluate tensional effects of the structure.
11-Study story drift limitations.

12-Consider redundancy of lateral force
resisting system.
13-Evaluate over strength of lateral force
resisting system.
14-Design elements of the structure by ACI or
LRFD.
15-Confirm seismic detailing requirements with
UBC
