Ct All other buildings (Section 208.5.2.2) 0.0488

Height of the Building (hn) 9.8 m

Base Shear Computations:

 Natural Period of building:

T = Ct(hn)3/4

= 0.0488 x(9.8)3/4

= 0.270296 secs

 Total design base shear

V = CVIW/RT

= 82893.125KN

A. The total design base shear need not exceed,

V = 2.50 CalW/R = 35825.606 KN

B. The total design base shear shall be less than,

V = 0.11CalW/R = 1576.3267 KN

C. For seismic zone 4,

V = 0.80ZNvlW/R = 10421.995 KN

The value that governs,

V = 35825.606 KN

For equilibrium of forces, the base shear V is equal to the dynamic force of the mass of the

structure:
Vertical distribution of lateral seismic forces, where n=3

ft= .07TV = 630.59993 KN

ft= 0.25V = 8956.4016 KN

ft= 0 (for t<0.70 sec)

Use ft = 630.59993 KN

Then ƩFi = V – Ft = 35825.606 KN

3.2.2.5 Total Factored Loads

The following are the major load combinations considered in the design of the structural

members:

1.4 DL (203-1)

1.2 DL + 1.6 LL (203-2)

1.2 DL + 1.6 (Lr or R) + (f1L or 0.5W) (203-3)

1.2DL + 1.0W + f1L + 0.5Lr (203-4)

1.2DL + 1.0E + f1L (203-5)

0.9DL + 1.0W (203-6)

0.9DL + 1.0E (203-7)

Where,

𝑓1 = 1.0 for floors in places of public assembly, for live loads in excess of 4.8 kPa, and for

garage live load

= 0.5 for other live loads

 Where P is to be considered in design, the applicable load shall be added to the formulas

above, factored as 1.2P.
