Static Lateral Force Method
Design Base Shear:
where :
CV = seismic coefficient
I = importance factor
W = total weight of structure
R = numerical coefficient ( Seismic Response
Modification Factor
T = natural period of structure (in sec)
Static Lateral Force Method
Design Base Shear:
where :
T = C t ( h )3/4
h = total height of structure
Ct = numerical coefficient
C t = 0.0853 for steel moment-resisting frames
C t = 0.0731 for RC moment-resisting frames
C t = 0.0488 for all other buildings
Static Lateral Force Method
Maximum Base Shear:
where :
Ca = seismic coefficient
Minimum Base Shear:
Near-source Factor, Nv
Seismic Source Closest distance to known Seismic Source
Type < 5 km 10 km > 15 km
A 1.6 1.2 1.0
B 1.2 1.0 1.0
C 1.0 1.0 1.0
Horizontal Distribution of Shear using
Static Lateral Force Method
Design story shear at each
level:
V3 = F4 + Ft
V2 = F4 + Ft + F3
V1 = F4 + Ft + F3 + F2
V = F4 + Ft + F3 + F2 + F1
Horizontal Distribution of Shear using
Static Lateral Force Method
Values of Lateral Force Ft
(at the top level) :
A. When T < 0.70 sec.
Ft = 0
F2 = 164.48 kN
F1 = 109.65 kN
