Earthquake Load On The Structure

Structural analysis and design Integrated project on G+2 building at Adama 2017
2. Earth quake load
2.1. Selection of appropriate earth quack design method
Two accepted methods of estimating magnitude and distribution of earth quake induced lateral
force on structure are;
I. Equivalent static (building code) analysis method
II. Dynamic Analysis method (time History, response spectrum)
Equivalent static (building code) analysis method
This type of analysis is applied to buildings whose response is not significantly affected by
contribution from higher modes vibration. These requirements are claimed to be satisfied by
buildings which;
F Meet the criteria for regularity in plan and elevation.

F Have fundamental periods of vibration T1, in the two main directions is less than 2secs.
Dynamic Analysis method (time History, response spectrum)
This type of analysis shall be applied;
F To buildings which do not satisfied the condition given in static analysis.

F For buildings not complying with criteria for regularity significantly to the global
response shall be taken into account.
F To all types of building.
To identify which method is suitable for our building, we have needed to check T 1and regularity
of the structure.
F Height of building, H = 11.48m

F The building is made up of reinforced concrete
T1=C1H3/4; for buildings with height up to 80m
Where, C1=depends on nature of building; (C1=0.075, for RC-moment resisting frames) as per
EBCS-8, page 21and H = height of building above the base in meter; (H = 11.48m)
T1 = 0.075*11.483/4 = 0.528 sec
Therefore our building is analyzed by static method of analysis since T 1=0.528sec < 2sec and our
building is regular in elevation even if it has some irregularity in plan.

2.2. Determination of base shear
Fb=Sd(T1)W, as per EBCS-8,1995 section 2.3.3.2.2
Ordinate of the design spectrum at period T1, Sd(T1)
Sd(T1) = 
-The ratio of the design bed rock acceleration to the acceleration of gravity, g; a=a 0i
0 = the bed rock acceleration ratio for the site and depends on the seismic zone as given in
table 1.1 of EBCS-8, 1995.For zone 4 (from given table 1.3), building located at Adama, 0 =
0.10.
I = the important factor. For ordinary building not belonging to the other categories, I is 1.0 as
per EBCS-1995, Table 2.4.
Therefore, = 0i = 0.1*1 = 0.1
𝛽 - a parameter in the design response factor for the site is
𝛽 =1.2*S/T12/3 ≤ 2.5
S = 1.2, for soil class B - as per EBCS-8, table 1.2
T1=C1H3/4; for buildings with height up to 80m; from the above calculation T1 = 0.528 sec.
Therefore 𝛽= 1.2*1.5/0.5282/3 = 2.205 ≤ 2.5 …OK!
𝛾- the behavior factor to account for energy dissipation
𝛾 =𝛾oKDKRKW≤0.7
Where,o= basic value of behavior factor depends on the structure type.
KD=factor reflecting the ductility class
KR=factor reflecting the structural regularity in elevation.
KW=factor reflecting the prevailing failure mode in structural system with walls.
𝛾o = 0.2, for frame system, as per EBCS-8, table 3.2

KD = 2, for lower ductility, as per EBCS-8 page 38
KR = 1, for regular structure, as per EBCS-8 Page 38
KW = 1, for frame and frame equivalent dual system, as per EBCS-8 Page 38
𝛾 = 0.2*2*1*1=0.4≤0.7 …OK!
Thus, ordinate of the design spectrum at period T1,

Sd(T1) = abg = 0.1*2.205*0.4 = 0.088
∴Sd(T1) = 0.088, which indicates base shear is 8.8% of the weight of the structure.
Computation of weight of structure along with center of mass, W
W=Total permanent load + 25% of floor live load, for storage & ware house occupancies.
W = total permanent load, in other occupancies as per EBCS-8, 1995 section 1.4.3(3).
Calculation of Self weight of the building and center of mass
The horizontal forces at each floor level, Fi, are distributed to lateral load resistive structural
elements in proportion to their rigidities assuming rigid floor diagrams.
Center of mass (Xm, Ym): is a point on a floor level where he whole floor mass and its inertial
effects can be replaced using a lumped equivalent mass.
Σ WiXi Σ WiYi
Xm=
ΣWi
, Ym =
ΣWi
Where: Xm and Ym are the coordinates of the point of application of Fi when the seismic
action is parallel to the Y-direction and X-direction respectively.

Since we don’t have storage & ware house we haven’t use 25% of floor live load
Fb= Sd(T1)W=0.088*2709.26 ≈ 238.99 KN
2.3. Distribution of the base shear over the height of the building
( Fb−Ft ) Wihi
Fi =
∑ Wihi
Where,
Fi =the concentrated lateral force acting at floor z
Ft=the concentrated force at the top, which is in addition to Fn
Wi=portion of total weight located at level z.
Hi=height above the base to level i.
( Fb−Ft )Wihi
Fi = ∑ Wihi
T1 = 0.528 sec for our building which is less than 0.7sec. Therefore Ft = 0

b. Accidental eccentricity
Accounts for uncertainties in locating masses
el = ±0.05Li
Where Li= floor dimensions perpendicular to the direction of seismic action
elx = ±0.05Ly
ely = ±0.05Lx
In our case the building is 8.23m wide and 12.45m long. Thus Lx = 8.23m & Ly = 12.45m
elx=±0.05*12.45 = ± 0.623m&
ely=±0.05*8.23 = ± 0.412m

Structural analysis and design Integrated project on G+2 building at Adama 2017

2. Earth quake load

2.1. Selection of appropriate earth quack design method

Equivalent static (building code) analysis method

F Meet the criteria for regularity in plan and elevation.

This type of analysis shall be applied;

F To buildings which do not satisfied the condition given in static analysis.

F Height of building, H = 11.48m

T1 = 0.075*11.483/4 = 0.528 sec

2.2. Determination of base shear

Fb=Sd(T1)W, as per EBCS-8,1995 section 2.3.3.2.2

Ordinate of the design spectrum at period T1, Sd(T1)

Therefore, = 0i = 0.1*1 = 0.1

𝛽 - a parameter in the design response factor for the site is

S = 1.2, for soil class B - as per EBCS-8, table 1.2

Therefore 𝛽= 1.2*1.5/0.5282/3 = 2.205 ≤ 2.5 …OK!

𝛾- the behavior factor to account for energy dissipation

𝛾o = 0.2, for frame system, as per EBCS-8, table 3.2

Thus, ordinate of the design spectrum at period T1,
