Design Base Shear Computation

DATA:
Zone 4 Z= 0.4
Seismic Source Type Type A
Soil Profile Type Sa (Hard Rock)
Lateral Force Resisting System Description (R) 8.5
Special Occupancy, Seismic Importance Factor (I) 1.0
Na 1.2
W 31,714.66 kN

CALCULATION:

1. Structural Period of Vibration (T) of the Building

(For concrete moment-resisting frames, 𝐶𝑡 = 0.0731)
𝑇 = 𝐶𝑡 (ℎ𝑛) 3⁄4

= 0.0731 (12)3⁄4 𝑇

= 0.471 sec.

2. Near-source factors 𝑁𝑎 and 𝑁𝑉 from Tables 208-5 and 208-6 for Seismic Source Type A and
distance to Seismic Source of 5 km.
 𝑁𝑎 = 1.2

𝑁𝑉 = 1.6

3. Seismic coefficients 𝐶𝑎 and 𝐶𝑉

𝐶𝑎 = 0.40 𝑁𝑎
= 0.40 (1.2)

𝐶𝑎 = 0.48

𝐶𝑉 = 0.56 𝑁𝑣
= 0.56 (1.6)

𝐶𝑉 = 0.896

4. Design Base Shear

The total design base shear in a given direction is:

𝑉 = 𝐶𝑉 𝐼 𝑊
𝑅𝑇

𝑉= (31,714.66 kN)
𝑽 = 𝟕 𝟎𝟗𝟕. 𝟖𝟕 𝒌𝑵

But the code indicates that the total design base shear need not exceed the following:

2.5𝐶𝑎𝐼
𝑉= 𝑊
𝑅

𝑉= (31,714.66 𝑘𝑁)
𝑽 = 𝟒𝟒𝟕𝟕. 𝟑𝟔 𝒌𝑵 < 𝟕 𝟎𝟗𝟕. 𝟖𝟕 𝒌𝑵 𝒌𝑵 Therefore
use, V = 4477.36 kN

And that the design base shear need not be less than the following:

𝑉 = 0.11𝐶𝑎𝐼𝑊

𝑉 = 0.11(0.48)(1.0)(31,714.66 𝑘𝑁)

𝑽 = 𝟏𝟔𝟕𝟒. 𝟓𝟑 𝒌𝑵 < 𝟒𝟒𝟕𝟕. 𝟑𝟔 𝐤𝐍

⸫ ok

And in Seismic Zone 4, the total design base shear shall also be not less than
 0.8𝑍𝑁𝑉𝐼
𝑉= 𝑊
𝑅
0.
𝑉 =(31,714.66 𝑘𝑁)

𝑽 = 𝟏𝟗𝟏𝟎. 𝟑𝟒 < 𝟒𝟒𝟕𝟕. 𝟑𝟔 𝐤𝐍

⸫ ok

𝑽 = 𝟒𝟒𝟕𝟕. 𝟑𝟔 𝐤𝐍
THEREFORE, USE THE DESIGN BASE SHEAR
