Egyptian Response Spectrum: According To The ECP 201-2012

The document provides information and instructions for calculating seismic load according to the Egyptian Code of Practice 201-2012. It gives an example calculation for a 28m high building and determines the base shear force and scaling base shear. It also provides the response spectrum curve for the given seismic zone and soil type.

* Calculation of Seismic load

* Project :

Building Data:
Total height of building above foundations 28 m
Total dead load of building 54,740 kN
Total live load of building 8,540 kN
Building importance gI 1.00 Normal building
Building damping factor h 1.00 Reinforced concrete
Response modification factor R 5.0
Building is in area of type 1 Response spectrum curve
Building in seismic zone 3 ag = 0.15 g
Type of soil beneath C S TB TC TD
1.50 0.10 0.25 1.20

Natural period of building:


Ct = 0.075 Concrete space frames
T = 0.913 Sec. Simplified Response Spectrum method can be used

Sd (T) = 0.031 g

Earthquake force:
Live load ratio y = 0.25 Residential structures
Weight of building = 56,875 kN
Correction factor l = 1.00

Fb = 0.031 W @ 3.1% of vertical load

Fb = 1752 kN Base shear force

Scaling base shear = 1489 kN (85% of Base shear force)
