DISCUSSION

Considering the parameters for the manual computation, the computed

governing base shear is 3776.380026 kN. On the other hand, the base shear is
3829.071 kN using the Midas Gen software. The compared base shear has a
discrepancy within the allowed 5% difference.
For manual computation, the weight of the roof deck is 9441.593732 kN and
for levels 3 and 2 is 9869.762325 kN. Using the software, the weight at roof deck is
9726.919 kN, while 9936.916 kN for level 3 and 9924.443 kN for level 2. There is no
added concentrated force on top for both manual calculation and using the
software since the structural period T=0.42639sec is less than 0.70sec, therefore
Ft is zero.
CONCLUSION
Plotting the nodes and extruding the elements for
girder and columns using the software is tedious, but the
convenience and efficiency of using the software is more
helpful than manually calculating each parameters for
manual computation. The software made the assessment
of seismic analysis much easier for simple and
complicated buildings. The software made me use less
computational energy than manually computing each
dimensions and parameters needed for the weight of the
building per floor as well as the base shear computation.
