Seismic Base Shear Calculation

The document calculates an 'R' factor of 6.4999560644 based on ductility, redundancy, and overstrength factors for a structure. The ductility factor is 3.0792832024 and is calculated as the elastic base shear divided by the ultimate base shear. The redundancy factor is 1.3367939958 and is calculated as the ultimate base shear divided by the yield base shear. The overstrength factor is 1.5790515269 and is calculated as the yield base shear divided by the design base shear. These factors are multiplied together to determine the overall 'R' factor.

CALCULATION FOR DETERMINATION OF 'R' FACTOR

Design Base Shear Vd= 5234.94

Elastic Base Shear Ve= 34026.88

Ultimate Base Shear Vu= 11050.26

Yield Base Shear Vy= 8266.24

Ductility factor Rμ Ve/Vu = 3.0792832024

Redundancy factor RR Vu/Vy = 1.3367939958

Overstrenght factor RΩ Vy/Vd = 1.5790515269

R' factor R Rμ*RR*RΩ 6.4999560644
