Given: An eight storey city library is proposed to be constructed in Baguio.

The
structure shall be a reinforced concrete building (no shear walls). The weight per
floor (including 1st floor) is estimated to be 1800 KN. The roof deck weighs 1700 KN.
Solve for the Base Shear, V, for the condition above using the following formulas:

1. V =ZICKSW (SEAOC CODE 1974 - 4th Revision) Adopted by National Structural

Code of the Philippines, 3rd edition (NSCP 1987)

Z = 1 (based on being w/in seismic zone 4)

I = 1.0 (based on belonging to the category of “other buildings”)

T = 0.30s (assumed value)

1 1
C= = = 0.1217, C = 0.12 (maximum value as per code)
15 √ T 15 √ 0.3

K = 1.00

S = 1.50 (Assuming T and Ts are equal)

W = 8 x 1800 + 1700 = 16,100 kN

V = (1)(1)(0.12)(1)(1.5)(16100)

V = 2898 kN
