Seismic Forces - Simplified Static Force Method and Static Force Method

The document summarizes the simplified static force method for seismic design outlined in NSCP 2015. It describes how to calculate the design base shear, distribute forces vertically and horizontally, and determine the fundamental period of the structure. The base shear is determined from factors including seismic coefficients, structural weight, importance, response modification coefficient, and near-source factors. Forces are distributed over the height proportionally to each level's weight.

SIMPLIFIED STATIC FORCE METHOD

• V (base shear) is the


maximum resistance induced
by the lateral force caused by
the earthquake.

NSCP 208.5.1: SIMPLIFIED STATIC FORCE PROCEDURE

Structure conforming to the requirements of Section 208.4.8.1 may be designed using this
procedure.

208.4.8.1: SIMPLIFIED STATIC

The simplified static lateral-force procedure set forth in Section 208.5.1.1 may be used for the
following structures of Occupancy Category IV or V:

1. Buildings of any occupancy (including single-family dwellings) not more than three stories in
height excluding basements that use light-frame construction.
2. Other buildings not more than two stories in height excluding basements.

208.5.1.1 SIMPLIFIED DESIGN BASE SHEAR:

• W = weight of the structure or 100% of the


dead load + 25% live load for storage and
warehouse
• Seismic Source Type A = faults that are
capable of greater than 7 magnitude.
• Seismic Source Type B = 6.5 to 7 magnitude
• Seismic Source Type C = less than 6.5
magnitude --- commonly used
• Sd = common soil used
• R (Response Modification Factor) = 8.5 ---
2.8
• NL = No Limit
• NP = Not Permitted
208.5.1.2: VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION

The forces at each level shall be calculated using the following equation:

wi = weight of the floor

208.5.1.3: HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION OF SHEAR

The design storey shear, Vx, in anu storey is the sum of the forces Ft and Fx above that storey. Vx shall be
distributed to the various elements of the vertical lateral force-resisting system in proportion to their
rigidities, considering the rigidity of the diaphragm. See Section 208.7.2.3 for rigid elements that are not
intended to be part of the lateral force-resisting systems.
EXAMPLE:
• The total design base shear need not exceed the following:

• The total design base shear shall not be less than the following:

• In addition, for Seismic Zone 4, the total base shear shall also not be less than the following:

208.5.2.2: STRUCTURE PERIOD

The value of T shall be determined from one of the following methods:

1. Method A:

For all buildings, the value T may be approximated from the following equation:

Where:

Ct = 0.0853 for steel moment-resisting frames


Ct = 0.0731 for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames and eccentrically braced frames

Ct = 0.0488 for all other buildings

Alternatively, the value of Ct for structures with concrete or masonry shear walls may be taken as

I = Importance Factor given in Table 208-1

R = Numerical coefficient representative of the inherent overstrength and global


ductility capacity of lateral force resisting systems as set forth in Table 208-11 or 208-12

T = Elastic fundamental period of vibration of the structure in the direction under


construction or simply, Structure Period

Nv = Near source factor

For all buildings, the value T may be approximated from the following equation:
Where:

Ct = 0.0853 for steel moment-resisting frames

Ct = 0.0731 for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames and eccentrically braced frames

Ct = 0.0488 for all other buildings

hn = overall height of the building

VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION FORCE: NSCP 2015 Section 208.5.2.2

• The total force shall be distributed over the height of the structure on conformance with
Equations 208-15, 208-16, and 208-17 in the absence of a more rigorous procedure.

Fi = lateral forces

• The concentrated force Ft at the top, which is in addition to Fn, shall be determined from the
equation:

• Ft need not exceed 0.25V and may be considered as zero where T is 0.7 s or less.

• The remaining portion of the base shear shall be distributed over the height of the structure,
including level n, according to the following equation:
