EARTHQUAKE LOAD CALCULATION
Here,
Building location = Dhaka
Seismic zone Co-efficient = 0.15
Structure importance Co-efficient, I = 1
Response modification Co-efficient for structural system, R = 8
Site Co-efficient for soil characteristic, S =1.5
For reinforced concrete moment resisting frames, Ct = 0.073
Height (in meter) above the base to top floor, Hn = ( 6 x 3 ) = 18m
Total seismic dead load = 4438 kip
Fundamental period of vibration in ( seconds ), T = [Ct(Hn)3/4]
= [0.073 × (18)3/4]
= 0.637 sec

Numerical Co-efficient, C =[ ]
T 2/3

= 2.629

Check :

Additional concentrated force rather than Fx at top floor.
When, T > 0.7 sec,

Ft = Smaller {
( 0.07 TV =0.07 × 0.637 ×210.69 )=9.394(←)
0.25 V =( 0.25× 210.69 )=52.672 }
When, T > 0.7 sec
Then, Ft = 0
