Abstract
The dead, live, wind and seismic loads on a four-storey residential building, consisting of
structural load bearing walls and wall footings, were analyzed for the design of the structural
components to include the gravity, seismic and main wind force resisting systems (MWFRS) and
Design Approach
All designs are done in accordance with Standard Design Codes & Practices. Structural
elements will be design using the Limit State Design approach. The IBC guidelines will
govern the designs, under which, concrete designs will be done in accordance with the
The architectural drawings are firstly reviewed in order to determine the arrangement of
the wall panels in the structure. The structure will then be modeled and analyzed using
Staad.Pro structural design software to obtain design results for relevant structural
elements. This software allows the user to prepare a model using the geometry and the
properties of the physical elements and apply the possible loading conditions in order to
design structural elements or obtain the results for reaction forces, moments, stresses
The dead loads consisted of the selfweight of the structure and an additional area load of 15 psf
added to floor slabs. The live load of 40 psf was added to the floors and roof.
American Society of Civil Engineers Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for
Buildings and Other Structures ANSI/ASCE 7-16 was used to determine the MWFRS Wind
Loads for Enclosed, Partially Enclosed, and Open Buildings of All Heights (Chapter 27):
Risk Category
700-year return period wind speeds are given as design wind speeds for category 2
structures (with wind load factor = 1). A 150 mph (76.0 m/s) wind speed was used as the ultimate
Earthquake designs are based on the provisions of the International Building Code (IBC)
– 2015 and American Society of Civil Engineers Minimum Design Loads and Associated
Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures ANSI/ASCE 7-16. As per the Equivalent Lateral

Figure 27.4-1 - Design Wind Load Cases of MWFRS for Buildings of All Heights
Case 1: Full design wind pressure acting on the projected area perpendicular to each principal axis of
the structure, considered separately along each principal axis.
Case 2: Three quarters of the design wind pressure acting on the projected area perpendicular to each
principal axis of the structure in conjunction with a torsional moment as shown, considered
separately for each principal axis.
Case 3: Wind pressure as defined in Case 1, but considered to act simultaneously at 75% of the
specified value.
Case 4: Wind pressure as defined in Case 2, but considered to act simultaneously at 75% of the
specified value.
Notes: 1. Design wind pressures for windward (Pw) and leeward (PL) faces shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 27.4.1 and 27.4.2 as applicable for buildings
of all heights.
2. Above diagrams show plan views of building.
3. Notation:
Pwx, Pwy = Windward face pressure acting in the X, Y principal axis, respectively.
PLx, PLy = Leeward face pressure acting in the X, Y principal axis, respectively.
e (ex, ey) = Eccentricity for the X, Y principal axis of the structure, respectively.
MT = Torsional moment per unit height acting about a vertical axis of the building.

Reinforcement Design of Wall:
The location of the critical section for flexure in the stem is at the base of the stem; for
flexure in the toe, at the front face of the stem; and for flexure in the heel, at the rear face
of the stem (ACI 318 -Section 13.2.7.1).
