1 Base Shear Calculation

As per IS 1893:2002, base shear is defined as:

As per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Cl. 7.5.3, the total lateral force or design seismic
base shear is given by,

Here,
Ah can be calculated by using the following formula:

Where,
i. Z = Zone factor

ii. I = Importance Factor

iii. R = Response reduction factor

iv. Sa/g = Average response acceleration coefficient

3.1.1 Design Horizontal Seismic Coefficient Calculation
i. Time period calculation
We have, from IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Cl. 7.6.2,
Ta =
where,
h = Height of the building in m.
d = Base dimension of the building at the plinth level.
Here,
h = 26.519 m
Along X-direction,
d = 25.044 m
Thus,
Tax = √ 25.044 = 0.48 sec
Along Y-direction,
d = 20.269 m
 Thus,
Tay =√ 20.269 = 0.53 sec
ii. Average response acceleration coefficient calculation
For medium soil sites, we have, from IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Cl. 6.4.5,
Along X-direction,
For Tax = 0.43 sec,
=2.50
Along Y-direction,
For Tay = 0.48 sec,
=2.50

iii. Zone factor

From IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Table 2, for seismic zone V, we have,
Z = 0.36
iv. Importance factor
From IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Table 6, we have for important service and
community buildings,
I = 1.5
v. Response reduction factor
From IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Table 7, for special RC moment-resisting
frame (SMRF)
R = 5.0
Now,
Design horizontal seismic coefficient, Ah =
Along X-direction,
Putting the respective values, we get,
