Seismic BaseShear SANS 10160 4

This document provides calculations to determine the seismic base shear of a building based on the South African National Standard SANS 10160-4:2011. It lists the input parameters needed for the calculation including building height, ground type, structural system, and acceleration coefficient. It then shows the calculations and outputs the design response spectrum, time period of vibration, and design base shear. The purpose is to compute the seismic forces for structural design of the building.
