Seismic Design PDF

The document provides details on seismic analysis calculations for a residential building in Kampala, Uganda. It includes [1] extracting loads and seismic mass from other analysis, [2] determining peak ground acceleration, [3] calculating fundamental period and design spectrum acceleration, and [4] computing base shear force and distributing seismic forces to each floor. The final seismic load combinations are applied to the structural model for design.

 Sd(T1) in m/s2 is the ordinate of the design spectrum for the

where Zi is the height of mass mi above the level associated

See Table 1.121 below for the vertical distribution of forces

Assumptions made in calculation of seismic forces per


column per floor:-
(a) Weight per floor is obtained from master series output
(b) assume that all columns in the frame resist seismic forces
in both horizontal directions. If load distribution is
considered proportionally distributed both vertically and
horizontally according to the number of columns in the
frame, all columns will have equal seismic loading in both
horizontal directions (x and y or x and z for the case of
masterseries).

Table 1.121 of in masterseries as horizontal loads and add the relevant load
seismic loads combinations that concern earthquake according to Instruct E See Table 1.121
to EC8 page 66 clause 9.2.5. below

In seismic situations, load combination used for design at


both the ultimate and the damage limitation limit state is:
Instruct E to EC8,
2010, Cl.9.2.5,
Eqn. 9.10, Pg 66 ∑ + P + AEd + ∑  , Qk,
where
 Gk are permanent loads
 P is prestressing action, whenever applicable
 AEd is design value of the seismic action
 2,iQk is quasi permanent values of variable loads
 2,i = 0.3 from Table 9.2 (instruct E) for category A
(residential/domestic) variable load.

So in our case, the combination is ∑ + P + AEd + ∑  , Qk,


10
If AEd is E and 2,i = 0.6, then the load combination is

Gk + E + 0.3Qk Load combinations

where P = 0, since there is no prestressing Gk + E + 0.3Qk
