 1. LIST OF ALL SEISMIC CONSEDIRATIONS:

a. OCCUPANCY CATEGORY

The structure is a 4-storey hospital building.

Therefore, the structure falls under
Occupancy Category I: Essential Facilities.

OCCUPANCY CATEGORY: I

1. LIST OF ALL SEISMIC CONSEDIRATIONS:

b. IMPORTANCE FACTOR

The structure is at Occupancy

Category I. Therefore, its Seismic
Importance Factor (I) is 1.50.

SEISMIC IMPORTANCE FACTOR: I = 1.50

 1. LIST OF ALL SEISMIC CONSEDIRATIONS:
1. LIST OF ALL SEISMIC CONSEDIRATIONS:
c. SEISMIC ZONE FACTOR
e. NEAR SOURCE FACTOR: Na and Nv
Puerto Princesa, Palawan is situated at
Zone 2. Therefore, the Seismic Zone

Factor (Z) is 0.20.
is A. Therefore, Near Source Factor:
Na and Nv are 1.0 and 1.2,
respectively.

Note: Na and Nv are not included in

computation of Ca and Cv because
the building is situated at Seismic
Zone 2.
SEISMIC ZONE FACTOR: Z = 0.20

1. LIST OF ALL SEISMIC CONSEDIRATIONS:

NEAR SOURCE FACTOR: Na = 1.0 & Nv = 1.2

d. SEISMIC COEFFICIENT: Ca and Cv

The hospital’s Soil Profile Type is

SD and it is located at Zone 2.
Therefore, Seismic Coefficient: Ca
and Cv are 0.28 and 0.40,
respectively.

SEISMIC COEFFICIENT: Ca = 0.28 & Cv = 0.40

 1. LIST OF ALL SEISMIC CONSEDIRATIONS:

g. RESPONSE MODIFICATION FACTOR: R

The hospital’s structural

system is Special Moment
– Resist Frame (SMRF).
Therefore, the Response
Modification Factor is 8.5.

1. LIST FACTOR:
RESPONSE MODIFICATION OF ALL SEISMIC
R = 8.5 CONSEDIRATIONS:

f. STRUCTURAL DESIGN

The structural design of the

building is a reinforced
concrete building. Therefore,
its Ct is equal to 0.0731.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN: REINFORCED CONCRETE - SMRF

Ct = 0.0731

1. COMPUTATION OF THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF EACH FLOOR Distribution
Shear h, kN Factor
Base, m
Given: Roof 13.5 438 5913 0.375
 Building Dimension: 5m x 12 m 4th 10.5 438 4599 0.292
 Weight per Floor: 7.3 kPa 3rd 7.5 438 3285 0.208
 Number of Floor: 4 2nd 4.5 438 1971 0.125
GF 0 0 0 0
(WkPa)(Afloor) = Weach floor sum 1752 15768
2
(7.3 kN/m )(5m)(12m) = 438 kN

(Weach floor)(nfloor) = Wtotal

(438 kN)(4) = 1752 kN

The building’s total weight is equal to 1752 kN with 438 kN at 2nd floor up to the roof.

TOTAL WEIGHT: WTOTAL = 1752 KN

2. COMPUTATION OF STRUCTURAL PERIOD: T

Given:
 Ct = 0.0731
 Height = 13.5m
 TB = 1 sec
3
3/ 4
T A=Ct ( hn ) 4 =0.0731 ( 13.5 ) =0.515 sec
T B=1 sec

But TB should not exceed 1.4TA

1.4 T A=1.4 ( 0.515 )
T =0.721 sec

Note: 1.4TA is used because the value of T shall not exceed

40% in Seismic Zone 2.

STRUCTURAL PERIOD: T = 0.721 sec

3. COMPUTATION OF BASE SHEAR: V

Given:
 Ca = 0.28
 Cv = 0.40
 I = 1.50
 R = 8.5
 T = 0.721 sec
 WTOTAL = 1752 KN

CvI 0.40(1.5)
V= W= 1752=171.526 kN
RT 8.5( 0.721)

2.5 CaI 2.5(0.28)(1.5)

Vmax= W= 1752=216.424 kN
R 8.5

Vmin=0.11CaIW =0.11 ( 0.28 ) ( 1.5 ) 1752=80.942 kN

Since V did not exceed to Vmax and not less than Vmin.
Therefore, base shear V is equal to 171.526 kN.

BASE SHEAR: V = 171.526 KN

4. COMPUTATION OF LATERAL SEISMIC FORCE: Fx

Given:
 V = 171.526 KN
 T = 0.721 sec

Ft =0.07 TV =0.07 (0.721)(171.526)

Ft =8.657 sec

Checking: 0.25 V =0.25 ( 171.526 )=42.882

Since Ft does not exceed to 0.25V, therefore, Ft = 8.657.
