"ASCE710E" --- ASCE7-10 & IBC 2012 SEISMIC ANALYSIS PROGRAM

Program Description:
"ASCE710E" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of seismic loading analysis for
buildings and various nonbuilding structures, as well as architectural, mechanical, and electrical components
per the IBC 2012 and ASCE 7-10 Codes. Specifically, the total base seismic shear for buildings and nonbuilding
structures is calculated. For Multi-Level Buildings, the vertical distribution of the total seismic shear is also
determined, and a drift analysis can also be performed.. The seismic restraint force for various components is
also calculated. Seismic maps are also included.
This program is a workbook consisting of (9) worksheets, described as follows:

Program Assumptions and Limitations:

1. This program uses the IBC 2012 Code only to determine the Seismic Design Category, while IBC 2012 Code
Section 1613.1 permits the Seismic Design Category to be determined by either IBC 2012 or ASCE 7-10.
For all practical purposes, beyond determining the Seismic Design Category, the IBC 2012 Code
defers to the ASCE 7-10 Code for seismic analysis and design.
3. For buildings, the program assumes the use of the equivalent lateral-force method for analysis, per ASCE 7-10
Section 12.8. This progam does not calculate any non-building structures.
4. The program assumes "regular" buildings and structures, with plan and vertical irregularities not being
considered. Refer to ASCE 7-10 Section 12.3 for building configuration, and plan and vertical irregularity criteria.
5. Worksheets for Multi-Level Buildings are applicable for buildings and structures up to 240 feet in height, with
up to 15 levels. (Story deflections are to be determined from separate elastic 2D or 3D frame analysis if needed.)
7. Worksheets calculate for "gross" seismic shear force, and do not reflect the use of any load factors. Refer to
ASCE 7-10 Section 12.4 for applicable loads factors for LRFD or strength design as well as ASD analysis.
9. This program allows the user to select only site classes "A" through "E", since site class "F" requires
site-specific geotechnical investigation and dynamic site response analyses. These same requirements also
apply for site class "E", but only when Ss >= 1.25*g and S1 >= 0.5*g.

12. This program automatically selects the appropriate seismic response modifier, "R", once the type of seismic
resisting system has been selected/input by the user.
13. This program will automatically alert the user with a "warning message" when any applicable limitations have
been exceeded for the particular seismic resisting system selected.
14. This program contains numerous comment boxes which contain a wide variety of information including
explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a comment box
is denoted by a red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the
desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)
15. In the calculation worksheets, a "hyperlink" is provided to take the user directly to the USGS website at:

Note: Per IBC 2012 Section 1613.1, the Seismic Design Category is permitted to be determined by either the IBC
2012 or ASCE 7 Codes. For all practical purposes, beyond determining the Seismic Design Category, the
IBC 2012 Code defers to the ASCE 7 Code for seismic analysis and design.
Note: While this program is intended to accuratly describe the loads/drift limits imposed upon a structure, the final
design check is the responsibility of the design engineer. Neither the original composer of this spreadsheet NOR
the modifier take any responsibility (either expressed or implied) for the correct output of this program. Once again,
the project engineer is to take that responsibility.
