6 Static Analysis Procedure

This requirement is deemed to be satisfied in buildings which fulfill the following two
conditions:

2.5.7.1 Design base shear

2.5.4.3 Design response spectrum

The spectral acceleration for the design earthquake is given by the following equation:

8.3 Earthquakes-Resistant Design Provisions

8.3.2 Provisions
a) The provisions of Chapter 6, shall apply except as modified by the provisions of this
Section.

 b) Structures assigned to seismic design category SDC D (see Chapter 2), all reinforced
concrete structures shall satisfy the requirements of special seismic detailing as given
in Sections 8.3.3 to 8.3.8 in addition to the requirements of Chapter 6. The provisions
for special moment frames shall not permit the use of slab without beam as part of
seismic force-resisting system.
c) Structures assigned to SDC C (see Chapter 2), all reinforced concrete structures shall
be built to satisfy the requirements of intermediate seismic detailing as given in Sec
8.3.10 in addition to the requirements of Chapter 6.
d) Structures assigned to SDC B (see Chapter 2), all reinforced concrete structures shall
be built to satisfy the requirements of ordinary detailing as given in Sec 8.3.9 in
addition to the requirements of Chapter 6.
e) Structures in lower SDCs are permitted to design with detailing provisions of higher
SDCs to take advantage of lower design force levels.

2.5.7.2 Building period

The building period T (in sec) may be approximated by the following formula :
