Seismic Load Calculation:

Seismic Load Parameters:

Seismic Zone = III
Zone factor, Z = 0.16
Impotance factor, I = 1.5
Response reduction factor, R = 4 [Refer Table 7 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002]
Depth of foundation, H = 3 m
Height of structure, h = 18.107 m
Soil Type = Medium
Type of structure = Steel
Percentage of damping considered = 2%
Multiplying factor for 2% damping = 1.4 [Refer Table 3 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002]

Refer Rayleigh Frequency from X & Z direction from Staad file: "Zone-15-Frequency.std",

Natural frequency of str. in X-dir, f x = 1.5625 cps

Natural time period of str. in X-dir, T x = 0.64 sec
Avg. response accln. coefficient, (Sa/g)x = 2.125 [For medium soil and 0.55 ≤ Tx ≤ 4]
(Sa/g)x with multiplying factor for damping = 2.975
Seismic coefficient, Ah = Z/2*I/R*Sa/g = 0.089 [For foundation on ground]
Modified Seismic coeff. at 'H' depth A hx = 0.0848 [Refer clause 6.4.4 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002]

Design base shear, Vbx = Ahx W = 385.215 kN

Natural frequency of str. in Z-dir, f z = 1.3755 cps

Natural time period of str. in Z-dir, T z = 0.72701 sec
Avg. response accln. coefficient, (Sa/g)z = 1.8706 [For medium soil and 0.55 ≤ Tz ≤ 4]
(Sa/g)z with multiplying factor for damping = 2.61884
Seismic coefficient, Ah = Z/2*I/R*Sa/g = 0.079 [For foundation on ground]
Modified Seismic coeff. at 'H' depth A hx = 0.0746 [Refer clause 6.4.4 of IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002]
