SEISMIC FORCE CALCULATION

Time Period Calculation T = 2 D

1000 F
D = Approximate DL of super-structure & LL in Tonne (DL+20% LL)
= 252.88 + 9.71 t
= 262.586 Tonne

F = Horizontal force in Tonne required to be applied at center of mass of

super-structure for 1 mm deflection at the top of pier / abutment
along the considered direction of horizontal force.

F = 6EI for 1 mm deflection at x F
