SEISMIC LOAD

Values to consider:
By using the application, Tremors, which gives the distance from one location to the nearest
West Valley Fault, it was found out that the closest distance to known seismic source from
Tagaytay Southridge Estates is 8.32 km.
a. Near Source Factor

Solving for 𝑁𝑎 by interpolating:

𝑁𝑎(8.32 𝑘𝑚) − 𝑁𝑎(5 𝑘𝑚) 𝑁𝑎(10 𝑘𝑚) − 𝑁𝑎(8.32 𝑘𝑚)
=
8.32 𝑘𝑚 − 5 𝑘𝑚 10 𝑘𝑚 − 8.32 𝑘𝑚
𝑁𝑎(8.32 𝑘𝑚) − 1.2 1 − 𝑁𝑎(8.32 𝑘𝑚)
=
8.32 − 5 10 − 8.32

𝑁𝑎(8.32 𝑘𝑚) = 1.0672

𝑁𝑣(10 𝑘𝑚) − 𝑁𝑣(8.32 𝑘𝑚) 𝑁𝑣(8.32 𝑘𝑚) − 𝑁𝑣(5 𝑘𝑚)

=
10 𝑘𝑚 − 8.32 𝑘𝑚 8.32 𝑘𝑚 − 5 𝑘𝑚
1.2 − 𝑁𝑣(8.32 𝑘𝑚) 𝑁𝑣(8.32 𝑘𝑚) − 1.6
=
10 − 8.32 8.32 − 5

𝑁𝑣(8.32 𝑘𝑚) = 1.3344

Solving for 𝐶𝑣 :
𝐶𝑣 = 0.56𝑁𝑣 𝐶𝑣 = 0.56(1.3344)𝐶𝑣 = 0.747264

c. Total Load

𝑊𝑻 = 𝑊𝟏 + 𝑊𝟐 + 𝑊𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒇
where:

𝑊1 = ∑ 𝑊𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑛 + ∑ 𝑊𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑚 + ∑ 𝑊𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑏 + ∑ 𝑊𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑙

𝑊1 = (12)(29.6)(2.8)(0.3)(0.3) + (23.6)(78.2)(0.4)(0.3) +
(23.6)(0.11)(15.9)(7.5) + 2(23.6)(7.5)(0.2)(3.6) + 2(23.6)(15.9)(0.2)(3.6)=1397.6

𝑊2 = (12)(29.6)(2.8)(0.3)(0.3) + (23.6)(78.2)(0.4)(0.3) +
(23.6)(0.11)(15.6)(7.2) + 2(23.6)(7.2)(0.2)(2.4) + 2(23.6)(15.6)(0.2)(2.4)=1093.6
