Significant Changes to Chapter 2
Minimum Design Loads
Load combinations for are changed due to the
use of strength‐based wind loading based on
ASCE 7‐10
Additional live load designations for parking,
garage, and ramp live loading
Basic wind speed are revised based on latest
studies
For communication towers, ANSI TIA/EIA 222G
latest edition is fully referenced in the NSCP
Significant Changes to Chapter 2
Minimum Design Loads
Near‐source factors are revised to consider distance
to source <2 km to be distinct and with higher values
Revision of magnitude limits for Seismic Source Type
A
Use of spectral acceleration based on ASCE/SEI 7‐10
is recognized as an alternative procedure for
determining earthquake forces
Rest of the Sections in Chapter 2 are unchanged with
reference to NSCP 2010 6th Edition

Earthquake Loads
Sample Problem – Design Base Shear
Determine the structure period T using Method A.
For concrete moment –resisting frames, Ct is 0.0731
T = Ct(hn)3/4

Find near source factors Na and Nv from Tables

distance to seismic source of 10 km.
Na = 1.0 Nv = 1.2

Determine seismic coefficients Ca and Cv from
Tables 208‐11 and 208‐12 for soil profile type Sc
and Zone 4.

Earthquake Loads
Sample Problem – Design Base Shear
The total design base shear in a given direction is:
V = CVI/RT x W (NSCP 208‐4)
= 0.672(1.0)/(8.5x.81) x 7300
= 712 kN (GOVERNS)
the total design base shear need not exceed the
following:
V = 2.5(CaI)/R x W (NSCP 208‐5)
= 2.5(0.40)1.0/8.5 x 7300

Sample Problem – Design Base Shear
the base shear shall not be less than the
following:
V = 0.11CaIW (NSCP 208‐6)

in Seismic Zone 4, the total design base shear
shall also be not less than:
V = 0.8NvI/R x W (NSCP 208‐7)
= 0.8(0.40)(1.20)(1.0)/8.5 x 7300

Vertical Distribution

different floor levels according to the following:
Fx = (V‐Ft) x wxhx
wxhx
where:
V : design base shear
Ft : .07TV, when period, T > 0.7 second, else Ft = 0
wx : mass at floor level
hx : height of floor from ground level
