- Assume any missing data:-


For the shown figure of a housing building lies at Alexandria. The building consists
of (10) repeated floors. Live load = 200 kg/m2. assume the floor consists of solid slab
(ts=16 cm) and beams. The thickness of shear walls=25 cm.
Due to Earthquake loads it is required to :-
a) Calculate the story shear at each floor level and draw its distribution on the
height of the building.
b) Find the bending moment and shearing forces acting at base level of the R.C.
Columns.
c) Check the stability of the building against overturning.
d) Calculate the percentage of force (V) acting on each shearing wall for last
floor (‫ )أخر طاب ق‬. Neglect the shearing force on columns.
Take :- K=0.67 , S=1.0.
