V. IS 1893 2016 Response Spectrum

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

Problem
A three story building 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.
