Example 1 – Calculation of Design Seismic Force by Static Analysis

Method
Problem Statement:
Consider a four-storey reinforced concrete office building shown in Fig. 1.1. The building is located in
Shillong (seismic zone V). The soil conditions are medium stiff and the entire building is supported on a raft
foundation. The R. C. frames are infilled with brick-masonry. The lumped weight due to dead loads is 12
kN/m2 on floors and 10 kN/m2 on the roof. The floors are to cater for a live load of 4 kN/m 2 on floors and
1.5 kN/m2 on the roof. Determine design seismic load on the structure as per new code.

Part II: Commentary and Examples”, Journal of Structural Engineering, Vol.22, No.2, July 1995, pp.73-90 ]

Example 2 – Calculation of Design Seismic Force by Dynamic

Analysis Method
Problem Statement:
For the building of Example 1, the dynamic properties (natural periods, and mode shapes) for vibration in
the X-direction have been obtained by carrying out a free vibration analysis (Table 2.1). Obtain the design
seismic force in the X-direction by the dynamic analysis method outlined in cl. 7.8.4.5 and distribute it with
building height.

centre of stiffness.

5m

5m

5m 5m 10 m

Figure 4.1 –Plan

Solution:
In the X-direction there are three identical
frames located at uniform spacing. Hence, the y-
coordinate of centre of stiffness is located
symmetrically, i.e., at 5.0 m from the left bottom
corner.
In the Y-direction, there are four identical frames
having equal lateral stiffness. However, the
spacing is not uniform. Let the lateral stiffness of
each transverse frame be k, and coordinating of
center of stiffness be (X, Y).
X = k ×0 + k ×5 + k ×10 + k ×20 = 8.75 m
k+k+k+k
Hence, coordinates of centre of stiffness are (8.75,
5.0).

Problem Statement:
Consider a simple one-storey building having two shear walls in each direction. It has some gravity columns
that are not shown. All four walls are in M25 grade concrete, 200 thick and 4 m long. Storey height is 4.5 m.
Floor consists of cast-in-situ reinforced concrete. Design shear force on the building is 100 kN in either
direction.
Compute design lateral forces on different shear walls using the torsion provisions of 2002 edition of IS

Solution: γsat = 18 kN / m3 , u0 = (4.5 − 2.35)

γ w = 9.8 kN / m3 ×9.8 = 21.07 kPa
