Base Shear Calculation

This document outlines the calculation of base shear for a building according to Indian seismic design standards. It provides the steps to calculate: 1) The time period of vibration of the building along the X and Y directions. 2) The average response acceleration coefficient for medium soil sites. 3) The zone factor, importance factor, and response reduction factor based on code tables. 4) The design horizontal seismic coefficient along the X and Y directions by combining the above factors. 5) The base shear along the X and Y directions by multiplying the seismic coefficient by the seismic weight of the building.

1 Base Shear Calculation


3.1.1 Design Horizontal Seismic Coefficient Calculation
i. Time period calculation
We have, from IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Cl. 7.6.2,
0.09h
Ta = √d

where,
h = Height of the building in m.
d = Base dimension of the building at the plinth level.
Here,
h = 26.519 m
Along X-direction,
d = 25.044 m
Thus,
0.09*26.519
Tax = = 0.48 sec
√25.044
Along Y-direction,
d = 20.269 m
Thus,
0.09*26.519
Tay = = 0.53 sec
√20.269
ii. Average response acceleration coefficient calculation
For medium soil sites, we have, from IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Cl. 6.4.5,
Along X-direction,
For Tax = 0.43 sec,
Sa
g =2.50
Along Y-direction,
For Tay = 0.48 sec,
Sa
g =2.50
iii. Zone factor
From IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Table 2, for seismic zone V, we have,
Z = 0.36
iv. Importance factor
From IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Table 6, we have for important service and
community buildings,
I = 1.5
v. Response reduction factor
From IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 Table 7, for special RC moment-resisting
frame (SMRF)
R = 5.0
Now,
Z I Sa
Design horizontal seismic coefficient, Ah = 2 R G

Along X-direction,
Putting the respective values, we get,
0.36* 1.5*2.50
Ahx = = 0.135
2 *5
Similarly,
Along Y-direction,
Putting the respective values, we get,
0.36* 1.5*2.50
Ahy = = 0.135
2 *5
3.1.2 Base Shear Calculation
As per IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002 Cl. 7.5.3, the total lateral force or design seismic
base shear is given by,
VB = Ah*W
Where,
W= Seismic weight of the building = 33991.561 KN
Along X-direction,
VBx = Ahx*W
= 0.135*33991.561
= 4588.860735 KN
Along Y-direction,
VBy = Ahy*W
= 0.135*33991.561
= 4588.860735 KN
