Load Generator - Response Spectrum IS 1893 2016

V. Load Generator - Response Spectrum IS 1893 2016

Calculation of base shear and its distribution along the height for response spectrum method in IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016

Reference
1. Example 4.7, http://nptel.ac.in/courses/105101004/4 (p.36)

Problem
The reference example given in (1) is modelled in STAAD.Pro considering the following:

Seismic zone factor, Z = 0.36

Importance factor, I = 1.2
Response reduction factor, R = 5
Soil site conditions = Hard

The generated model is subjected to a response spectrum load along global X direction. The base shear and its distribution along
height reported by STAAD.Pro is verified against hand calculation.
