1 Base Shear Calculation

As per IS 1893:2002, base shear is defined as:

As per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Cl. 7.5.3, the total lateral force or design seismic
base shear is given by,

Here,
Ah can be calculated by using the following formula:

Where,
i. Z = Zone factor

ii. I = Importance Factor

iii. R = Response reduction factor

iv. Sa/g = Average response acceleration coefficient
