INTRODUCTION
Midas Gen is an integrated solution system for building and general structures. With its

intuitive user interface, contemporary computer graphics and powerful solver, it enables

practicing engineers to undertake structural analysis and design for both simple and complicated

structures. Midas Gen's characteristics contribute to higher and unmatched levels of convenience,

efficiency, versatility, and productivity in structural design.

The academic structure studied, Building 1 of College of Engineering at NEUST

Sumacab Campus, is a three-story RC building. This structure is around 3,561.6 m 2 in area along

with being 10.5 meters high, not including the roof height. It is used as a classroom/ laboratory/

guidance office/ faculty room and is classified as Special Occupancy Structure since it is a

building used for college or adult education with a capacity of 500 or more occupants according

to NSCP 2015 (Table 103-1. Occupancy Category). The building’s Seismic Importance Factor, I

is 1.0 (NSCP 2015 Table 208-1). The COE building 1 in NEUST Sumacab Campus is 19.5

kilometers from an unnamed active fault near Laur, Nueva Ecija that belongs to an unknown

Segment near the Philippine Fault line and is classified as Seismic Source Type A by the NSCP

2015 Section 208.4.4.2, a fault capable of producing large magnitude events with a high rate of

seismic activity. This fault was documented by PHIVOLCS' Faultfinder in 2000. A soil profile

type Sd was assumed.

This activity is a comparison of the vertical shear distribution of static forces using

manual computation and Midas Gen 2021 Software result. The goal is to be within 5% difference

between the results of manual computation and the software.

Section 208.4.3 Seismic Zone 4 Near-Source Factor

COE Building 1 in NEUST Sumacab Campus under Seismic Source Type A (NSCP

2015 Table 208-4 Seismic Source Types), will utilize the Near-Source Factors (NSCP 2015

Table 208-5), Na = 1.0 and Nv = 1.0 since it is 19.5km to the closest distance to known seismic

source. The near-source factor is not in between closest distance values, the value is not

calculated through the use of linear interpolation.

Na = 1.0

Section 208.4.4 Seismic Response Coefficients

The COE building 1 in NEUST Sumacab Campus with Soil Profile Type S d and Z=0.40,

will utilize the Seismic Response Coefficients (NSCP 2015 Table 208-7 to 8), Ca = 0.44Na and Cv

= 0.64Nv.

Ca = 0.44Na = 0.44×1.0 Cv = 0.64Nv = 0.64×1.0

Ca = 0.44 Cv = 0.64
