Elastic vs. Inelastic Response
The red line shows
the force and
displacement that
would be reached if
the structure
responded elastically.
The green line shows
the actual force vs.
displacement
response of the
structure
The pink line
indicates the
minimum strength
required to hold
everything together
during inelastic
behavior
The blue line is the
force level that we
design for.
We rely on the
ductility of the system
to prevent collapse.
From 1997 NEHRP Provisions

W is to include:
all dead load (all permanent components of the
building, including permanent equipment)
25% of any design storage floor live loads except for
floor live load in public garages and open parking
structures.
If partition loads are considered in floor design, at
least 10 psf is to be included.
A portion of the snow load (20% p f minimum) in
regions where the flat roof snow load exceeds 30
psf.

Seismic Response Coefficient, Cs
See ASCE 7-05 12.8.1.1
Cs = SDS /(R/I)
T < Cu Ta
Wx = Weight at level x
hx = elevation of level x above the base
k = exponent related to structure period
When T < 0.5 s, k =1, When T > 2.5 s, k =2,
Linearly interpolate when 0.5 < T < 2.5 s

Story Shear, Vx
Story shear, Vx, is the shear force at a given story
level
Vx is the sum of all the forces above that level.
