Seismic Design Force for Non-Structural Components

a. Horizontal Seismic Force factor as per Clause 13.3.1.1.
aP = 1.50 Component amplification factor (Table 13.2)
RP = 2.50 Response modification factor (Table 13.2)
IP = 1.50 Importance factor (Clause 13.1.3)
FP =

= 0.1152 Wp Seismic force

Note:
FP = 1.6SDSIP Component weight "W p " is automatically
= 0.7680 Wp Seismic force upper limit considered in the software.

FP = 0.3SDSIP
= 0.1440 Wp Seismic force lower limit

b. Vertical Seismic Force factor as per Clause 13.3.1.5.

FPV = 0.2SDS
= 0.0640 Wp Vertical seismic force

c. Total seismic force factor

F = FP + FPV
