Seismic Load Manual Calculation

This document provides details for calculating the seismic design of a 5-story office building with a G+4 structure located in seismic zone V on medium soil. Key details include a plan size of 30m x 20m, story height of 3.5m, and a total seismic weight of 42855.524 KN. The calculated design horizontal seismic coefficient is 0.09 and the total base shear is 3856.997 KN in both X and Y directions. The seismic forces are distributed to each story based on the story weight and height.

Calculation of seismic weight of building(W)

Plan size: 30m X 20m


Thickness of slab= 150mm

For slab:
Dead load of slab= 30 x 20 x 0.15 x 25= 2250 KN

Floor load calculation: Roof load calculation:


Terrace waterproofing factor= 1.5 KN/m2
Floor finish factor=0.8 KN/m2
Self-weight= 2250 KN
Self-weight= 2250 KN
Floor finish= 480 KN
Floor finish= 30 x 20 x 0.8= 480 KN
TWF= 30 x 20 x 1.5= 900 KN
Total load on floor= 2250+ 480= 2730 KN
Total load on roof= 2250+ 480+ 900=3630 KN

For Beam:
Self-weight of beam= 0.3 x 0.4 x 25= 3 KN/m (per meter)
Clear dimension of longitudinal beam= 5-0.2-0.2=4.6m
Clear dimension of Transverse beam= 5-0.2-0.2=4.6m
No. of longitudinal beam= 6 x 5=30
No. of transverse beam= 4 x 7= 28
Self-weight of longitudinal beam=3 x 4.6 x 30=414 KN
Self-weight of transverse beam=3 x 4.6 x 28=386.4 KN
Total self- weight of both beam = 414+386.4=800.4 KN

For walls:
Self-weight of wall= 0.23 x 20=4.6 KN/m2
Self-weight of longitudinal wall=4.6 x 4.6 x 30=634.8 KN/m
Self-weight of transverse wall=4.6 x 4.6 x 28=592.48 KN/m
Total self- weight of both wall = 634.8+592.48=1227.28 KN/m (per meter height)

For columns:
No. of columns= 35
Self -weight of column= 0.4 x 0.4x 25 x 35= 140 KN/m (per meter height)

Live load calculation:


According to IS: 1893 part 1, Live load on roof is not considered(i.e. 0) for calculating design
seismic force.
Only 50% of live load is to be considered if value is greater than 3 KN/m2.
Live load considered= 0.5 x 4= 2 KN/m2
Total live load on floor= 30 x 20 x 2= 1200 KN.

Now,
Seismic weight= Dead load+ percentage of Live load
Dead load of roof = self-weight due to ( slab+ Beam+ Column+ Wall)
= 3630+800.4+(140 x3.5/2)+[1227.28 x (3.5-0.4)/2]
=6577.684 KN
Seismic weight of roof= Dead load + Live load
= 6577.684+0=6577.684 KN

Also,
Dead load of floor= self-weight due to ( slab+ Beam+ Column+ Wall)
= 2730+800.4+ (140 x3.5)+[1227.28 x (3.5-0.4)]
= 7824.968 KN
Live load on floor= 1200 KN
Seismic weight of floor= Dead load + Live load
= 7824.968 + 1200=9024.96 KN

We have G+4 storey building. So,


Total seismic weight of all floors= 9024.96 x 4= 36099.84 KN
Total seismic weight of roof= 6755.684 KN
Total seismic weight of building(W)= 36099.84 + 6755.684= 42855.524 KN

Calculation of Design horizontal seismic coefficient(Ah) and base shear (VB):


Lateral load resistance is provided by moment resisting frames infilled with brick masonry
panels. Hence, approximate fundamental natural period:

EL in X-Direction:

T = 0.09h / √d
= 0.09 x 17.5 / √30
= 0.28 sec
• The building is located on medium soil and for 0.28 sec time period, value of Sa/g= 2.5
• For seismic zone V, the zone factor Z is 0.36.
• Being an office building, the importance factor, I, is 1.
• Building is required to be provided with special moment resisting frames. Hence, the
response reduction factor, R, is 5.

Ah= (Z.I/2R) x Sa/g


= ( 0.36 x 1/ 2 x 5) x 2.5
= 0.09

Design base shear(VB)= Ah x W


= 0.09 x 42855.524
= 3856.997 KN

EL in X-Direction:

T = 0.09h / √d
= 0.09 x 17.5 / √20
= 0.35 sec
The building is located on medium soil and for 0.28 sec time period, value of Sa/g= 2.5

Ah= (Z.I/2R) x Sa/g


= ( 0.36 x 1/ 2 x 5) x 2.5
= 0.09

Design base shear(VB)= Ah x W


= 0.09 x 42855.524
= 3856.997 KN

Therefore, for this building the design seismic force in Y-direction is same as that in the X-
direction.
