Assignment No. 4 Seismic Analysis (ASCE7-02 & IBC)

Given Data

A 30+33 = 63 story specially reinforced concrete shear wall building.

Occupancy group = III
SUG = 2
SDC =D
Site class =D
Elastic fundamental period, TB (computer analysis) = 2.4 sec
Total seismic weight W = 60000kips
My Serial No = 33
Stories: 30 + 33 = 63 Stories
First floor height: 12ft
Typical storey height: 12ft
Building height, h: 63 x 12 = 756ft.
Building height, hn = 756 ft (story height 12 ft)
Mapped MCE, 5% damped, Ss = 1.4
Mapped MCE, 5% damped, S1 = 0.5
Assume any other necessary data

Required:
 Seismic base shear, V
 Vertical distribution of base shear

Ss = 1.4
Fa = 1.0 for Site class: D

S1 = 0.5
For Site Class: D Fv = 1.5
MCE spectral response acceleration

SMS = 1 x 1.4 = 1.4

SM1 = 1.5 x 0.5 = 0.75

SDS = 0.933 ; SD1 = 0.5

Importance Factor

For Seismic use group (SUG) = 2 (II)

I = 1.25

Response Modification Factor, R

For Specially reinforced concrete shear wall building R = 6 (From Table 2.21; ASCE Table 9.5.2.2)

System over strength factor, Ωo

For Specially reinforced concrete shear wall building Ωo = 2.5 (From Table 2.21; ASCE Table
9.5.2.2)

Coefficient for Upper Limit on Calculated Period, Cu

SD1 = 0.5, Cu = 1.4

Deflection Amplification Factor, Cd

Cd = 5 (From Table 2.21; ASCE Table 9.5.2.2)

Ct = 0.02
X = 0.75

Approximate Fundamental Period, Ta

Calculate Ta using the three formulas
1. Ta = 0.1 N
N = 63
Ta = 0.1 x 63 = 6.3 seconds
2. Ta =Ct hnx (All other systems)
= 0.02 x 7560.75 = 2.88 seconds
Ta, avg = 4.63s
Elastic fundamental period, TB (computer analysis) = 2.4 sec
Tmax = Cu x Ta
Cu is computed from the following (Table 2.23; ASCE Table 9.5.5.3.1)

Seismic Base Shear:

V = Cs W
SDS = 0.933
R=6
I = 1.25

SD1 = 0.5

(Controls)

V W= x 60000 = 1970.49 kips
