Lateral Force On Non Building Structure

This document provides guidelines for designing the lateral seismic forces for non-building structures. It specifies that flexible diaphragms supporting walls or frames must be designed using Equation 208-20 to determine seismic forces. Diaphragms supporting concrete or masonry walls require continuous ties between chords to distribute anchorage forces. The document also provides specifications for tanks, nonbuilding structures not otherwise covered, and exceptions when using approved national standards.

STRUCTURE
NSCP 208.9

OBJECTIVES
TO

3.
DESIGN SEISMIC FORCES FOR FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGMS
PROVIDING LATERAL SUPPORTS FOR WALLS OR
FRAMES OF MASONRY OR CONCRETE SHALL BE
DETERMINED USING EQUATION (208-20) BASED ON
THE LOAD DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 208.5.2 USING R NOT EXCEEDING 4.
4. DIAPHRAGMS SUPPORTING CONCRETE OR MASONRY
WALLS SHALL HAVE CONTINUOUS TIES OR STRUTS
BETWEEN DIAPHRAGM CHORDS TO DISTRIBUTE THE
ANCHORAGE
FORCES
SPECIFIED
IN
SECTION208.8.2.7.
ADDED
CHORDS
OF
SUBDIAPHRAGMS
TO
TRANSMIT
THE
ANCHORAGEFORCES TO THE MAIN CONTINUOUS
CROSSTIES. THE MAXIMUM LENTGH-TO-WIDTH RATIO
OF THE WOOD STRUCTURAL DIAPRAGM SHALL BE .

5. WHERE WOOD DIAPHRAGMS ARE USED TO


LATERALLY SUPPORT CONCRETE OR MASONRY
WALLS, THE ANCHORAGE SHALL CONFORM TO
SECTION 208.8.2.7. IN SEISMIC ZONE 2 AND 4,
ANCHORAGE SHALL NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED BY
USE OF TOENAILS OR NAILS SUBJECT TO
WITHDRAWAL, WOOD LEDGES OR FRAMING
SHALL NOT BE USED IN CROSSGRAIN BENDING
OR CROSS-GRAIN TENSION , AND THE
CONTINUOUS TIES REQUIRED BY ITEM 4 SHALL
BE IN ADDITION TO THE DIAPHRAGM SHEATHING.

6. CONNECTION OF DIAPHRAGMS TO THE VERTICAL


ELEMENTS IN STRUCTURES IN SEISMIC ZONE 4,
HAVING A PLAN IRREGULARITY OF TYPE 1, 2, 3
OR 4, IN TABLE 208-10, SHALL BE DESIGNE
WITHOUT CONSIDERING EITHER THE ONE THIRD
INCREASE OR THE DURATION OF LOAD INCREASE
CONSIDERED IN ALLOWABLE STRESSES FOR
ELEMENTS RESISTING EARTHQUAKE FORCE.

7. IN STRUCTURES IN SEISMIC ZONE 4 HAVING A


PLAN IRREGULARITY OF TYPE 2 IN TABLE 208-10,
DIAPHRAGM CHORDS AND DRAG MEMBERS
SHALL
BE
DESIGNED
CONSIDERING
INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT OF THE PROJECTING
WINGS OF THE STRUCTURE. EACH OF THESE
DIAPHRAGM ELEMENTS SHALL BE DESIGNED FOR
THE MORE SEVERE OF THE FOLLOWING TWO
ASSUMPTION;
a. MOTION OF THE PROJECTING WINGS IN THE
SAME DIRECTION.
b. MOTION OF THE PROJECTING WINGS IN
OPPOSING DIRECTION.

EXCEPTION:
THIS REQUIREMENT MAY BE DEEMED SATISFIED IF THE
PROCEDURES OF SECTION 208.6 IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THREE-DIMENTIONAL MODEL HAVE BEEN USED
TO DETERMINE THE LATERAL SEISMIC FORCES FOR
DESIGN.
208.8.2.9 FRAMING BELOW THE BASE. THE STRENGHT
AND STIFFNESS OF THE FRAMING BETWEEN THE BASE
AND THE FOUNDATION SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN THAT
OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE. SPECIAL DETAILING
REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTERS 4, 5 AND 7, AS
APPROPRIATE, SHALL APPLY TO COLUMNS SUPPORTING

TANKS WITH SUPPORTED


BOTTOMS
NSCP 208.9.4

NSCP 208.9.4

FLAT BOTTOM TANKS OR OTHER TANKS WITH


SUPPORTED BOTTOMS, FOUNDED AT OR BELOW
GRADE, SHALL BE DESIGNED TO RESIST THE
SEISMIC FORCES CALCULATED USING THE
PROCEDURES IN SECTION 208.7 FOR RIGID
STRUCTURES
CONSIDERING
THE
ENTIRE
WEIGHT OF THE TANK AND ITS CONTENTS.
ALTERNATIVELY, SUCH TANKS MAY BE DESIGNED
USING ONE OF THE TWO PROCEDURES:

NSCP 208.9.4

1. A RESPONSE SPECTRUM ANALYSIS THAT


INCLUDES
CONSIDERATION
OF
THE
ACTUAL GROUND MOTION ANTICIPATED
AT THE SITE AND THE INERTIAL EFFECTS
OF THE CONTAINED FLUID.
2. A DESIGN BASIS PRESCRIBED FOR THE
PARTICULAR TYPE OF TANK BY AN
APPROVED
NATIONAL
STANDARD,
PROVIDED THAT THE SEISMIC ZONES AND
OCCUPANCY CATEGORIES SHALL BE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTIONS
208.4.4
AND
208.4.2,

OTHER NONBUILDING
STRUCTURES
NSCP 208.9.5

NSCP 208.9.5

NONBUILDING STRUCTURES THAT ARE


NOT COVERED BY SECTIONS 208.9.3 AND
208.9.4 SHALL BE DESIGNED TO RESIST
DESIGN SEISMIC FORCES NOT LESS THAN
THOSE DETERMINED IN THE ACCORDANCE
WITH THE PROVISIONS IN SECTION 208.5
WITH THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS AND
EXCEPTIONS:

NSCP 208.9.5
1. THE FACTORS R AND SHALL BE AS SET FORTH IN
THE TABLE 208-13. THE TOTAL DESIGN BASE
SHEAR DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 208.5 SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN THE
FF:

ADDITIONALLY, FOR SEISMIC ZONE 4, THE TOTAL


SHEAR SHALL ALSO NOT BE LESS THAN THE FF:

NSCP 208.9.5
2. THE VERTICAL DISTRIBUTIONOF THE DESIGN
SEISMIC FORCES IN STRUCTURES COVERED BY
TIS SECTION MAY BE DETERMINED BY USING THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 208.5.5 OR BY USING
THE PROCEDURES OF SECTION 208.6.
EXCEPTION:
FOR IRREGULAR STRUCTURES ASSIGNED TO
OCCUPANCY CATEGORIES I AND II THAT CANNOT BE
MODELED AS A SINGLE MASS, THE PROCEDURES OF
SECTION 208.6 SHALL BE USED.

NSCP 208.9.5
3. WHERE AN APPROVED NATIONAL STANDARD PROVIDES A
BASIS FOR THE EARTHQUAKE-RESITANT DESIGN OF A
PARTICULAR TYPE OF NONBUILDING STRUCTURE COVERED
BY THIS SECTION, SUCH A STANDARD MAY BE USED,
SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATONS OF THIS SECTION:
THE SEISMIC ZONE AND OCCUPANCY CATEGORIES SHALL BE IN
CONFORMANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 208.4.4
AND 208.4.2, RESPECTIVELY.
THE VALUES FOR TOTAL LATERAL FORCE AND TOTAL BASE
OVERTURNING MOMENT USED IN DESIGN SHALL NOT BE LESS
THAN 80% OF THE VALUES THAT WOULD BE OBTAINED USING
THESE PROVISIONS.
