Seismic Analysis: and Also, C / RW Shall Not Be Less Than 0.075

The document provides a formula for calculating the total designed lateral force or base shear (V) at the base of a structure during an earthquake. It is calculated based on factors such as the seismic zone (Z), occupancy importance (I), numerical lateral force coefficient (Rw), site coefficient (S), fundamental period of vibration (T), and total dead load or weight (W) of the building. These factors are obtained from various tables provided in the document based on the structure's location, use, soil type, height and structural system.

SEISMIC ANALYSIS Rw =10 Moment Resisting Space

NSCP Sec.2.2.5.2
Frame
Design base shear in a given direction shall be
determined from the following formula :

V= ZIC W
Rw

where

1.) V – total designed lateral force or shear at


the base of a structure .
2.) Z – Seismic Zone factor given in Table 2.2 A

NOTE : From Fig. 2.2B , Seismic Zone Map


Rw =12 Moment Resisting Space
of the Philippines
Frame with Shear Wall
Z = 0.20 for Palawan ,Tawi-tawi and Batanes ( Dual System )
Z = 0.40 for the rest of the Philippines

3.) I – Occupancy importance factor

1.25 – Essential facilities


( hospitals , fire and police stations ,
communication centers , etc.)

1.25 – Hazardous facilities


( structures housing containing sufficient
quantities of toxic or explosive
5.) S - Site Coefficient for soil characteristics
substances)
( from Table 2.2B )
1.0 - Special Occupancy Structures
S = 1.0 Rock-like soil
( structures with public assembly of more
than 300 persons , detention facilities ,
S = 1.2 Dense stiff soil
schools with more than 250 students ,
etc.)
S = 1.5 Medium Stiff Clay
( 6m to 12m soft clay )
1.0 – Standard Occupancy Structures
( others not listed above)
S = 2.0 Soft Clay
4.) Rw – Numerical Lateral Force Coefficient ( > 12m soft clay )
( from Table 2.2 G )
6.) T – Fundamental period of vibration in secs.
Rw = 6 Bearing Wall system
T = Ct ( hn ) ¾

Where

Ct = 0.085 for steel moment resisting


space frames

Ct = 0.075 for reinf. conc. moment


resisting space frame
( and eccentric braced
steel frame )
Rw = 10 Braced Frame
Ct = 0.050 for other structures
( concentric or eccentric type )
hn – height in meters above the base

7.) C – Numerical coefficient for base shear

C = 1.25 S but not exceeding 2.75


T 2/3

And also , C / Rw shall not be less than 0.075


W – total dead load of the building
( includes permanent equipment )

However, for storage and warehouses ,

W = Total dead load + 25% floor live load
