CALCULATION OF SEISMIC FORCES

REF: I.S. 1893 (Part 1) - 2002.

As per Clause 7.5

VB = A hW

As per clause 6.4.2 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002, The design horizontal seismic coefficient A h ,

Z I Sa [ Zone factor, Z = 0.16 ] From Table-2


= 2Rg [ Zone III ]
[ Importance factor,I = 1.00 ] From Table-6
[ Response reduction factor,R = 3.00 ] From Table-7

Height of building h = 9.2 m

Base dimensions of building d = 16.725 m


7.9 m
W = Seismic weight of the building as per clause 7.4.2

T= (0.09h)/(d^1/2) = 0.29 second [As per Clause 7.6.2]

Sa/g = 2.50 depending upon T. [From Clause 6.4.5 for Type III soil]

Z I Sa
Hence, Ahy =
2Rg

= 0.067

Total design lateral force VB = AhW

= 3.92
