Design Spectral Response Acceleration

Definition of Building:
The building is located at 82° longitude and 31° latitude and is utilized as hospital with
surgery facilities in Conterminous Unite States.

Assume site class B.

Occupancy Category lV. ……. Table 1.1 ASCE 7-05

Importance Factor I=1.5 ……………Table 11.5-1 ASCE 7-05

Determine Maximum considered Earthquake Acceleration:

For 82° long. And 31° lat. We have:

Ss=17 % g …………Fig 22.1 ASCE 7-05

S1=7 % g ……………Fig 22.2 ASCE 7-05

TL=8 sec ……………Fig. 22.15 ASCE 7-05

SMS=FaSs ………….Eq. (11.4-1) ASCE 7-05

SM1=FVS1 ……….. Eq. (11.4.2) ASCE 7-05

Determine Site Coefficients Fa and FV from Table 11.4.1 and 11.4.2 Respectively:

SS=0.17<0.25

Fa=1.0
S1=0.07<0.1

Fv=1.0

SMS=1.0*0.17 g= 0.17 g

SM1=1.0*0.07 g= 0.07 g

Determine Design Spectral Response Accelerations:

SDS= (2/3)*SMS= 0.11 …………….Eq 11.4-3 ASCE 7-05

SD1= (2/3)*SM1= 0.05 …………….Eq 11.4-4 ASCE 7-05

Determine Design Spectral Response Acceleration at any period:

Case 1:

Sa=SDS (0.4+0.6(T/T0)) for T less than T0 …………… Eq 11.4-5 ASCE 7-05

Case 2:

Sa=SDS for T equal or greater than T0 and less than or equal to Ts

Case 3:

Sa= SD1/T for periods greater than Ts, and less than or equal to TL ……..Eq 11.4-6 ASCE 7-05

Case 4:

Sa=SD1TL/T2 for periods greater than TL ………..Eq 11.4-7 ASCE 7-05

Where:

T0=0.2*(SD1/SDS)= 0.09
Ts=SD1/SDS = 0.45
