DESIGN BASE SHEAR

Elastic Design Spectra

Soil Profile Type SA Table 208-2

Seismic Zone 4 Table 208-3 / Figure 208-1
Seismic Source Type Type B Table 208-6
Closest Distance to Known Seismic Zone 2.8 Km
Ip 1.50 seismic importance factor, Table 208-1
Na 1.30 seismic near source factor, Table 208-4
Nv 1.60 seismic near source factor, Table 208-5
Ca 0.32Na seismic response coefficient, Table 208-7
Cv 0.32Nv seismic response coefficient, Table 208-8

The total design base shear shall be:

V = Cv I W / R T
T = Ct hn3/4 period
Ct = 0.0731
hn = 15.0m height of structure above ground
T = 0.557 s
R = 8.5 Intermediate reinforced concrete moment frames
W = Total Dead Weight of Structure
V = 0.1622 W

The total design base shear need not exceed the following:

V = 2.5Ca I W / R
= 0.1835 W

The total design base shear shall not be less than the following:

V = 0.11Ca I W
= 0.0686 W

In addition, for Seismic Zone 4 the total base shear shall not be less than the following:

V = 0.8 Z Nv I W / R
Z = 0.40 Seismic Zone Factor
= 0.1129 W

Therefore, the design base shear is equal to 0.1835 W
