2. Siesmic Load:- (IS- 1893-2016)

For example to calculate the siesmic loads of a fixed RCC Residential Building house balcony at Lucknow, 10m wide
Roof & Floor Beam =0.3X0.23, Columns=0.3*0.3, Roof & Floor Slabtk=0.1, Clay brick wall=0.23 wide, Clay brick wall
Step-1 Siesmic Weight of Building Sw :- F1
( Sw= 1.0 DL +0.25 LL for LL<=3 KN/m2 )
( Sw= 1.0 DL +0.50 LL for LL>3 KN/m2 )
DL:-
Columns + Ped = 36
Roof & Floor Beams= 138
Roof & Floor Slab= 500
Walls & Parapet = 693.68
FFL= 121.6
Slab Plastering 12mm thk= 24.48
Wall & Parapet Plastering 12 mm thk= 78.336
Total DL= 1592.096
LL 600

Siesmic Weight = Sw= 1742.096

Step-2 Design horizontal Siesmic Coefficient Ah= Z/2 * I/R*Sa/g

Therefore Ah=

Step-3 Base Shear Vb= Ah X Sw

There fore Vb = 70

This lateral force is tobe applied to the bottom of building box.

Since we need point load to apply to columns in our analysis,consider this load is distributed t
So, Point load at each column's top at beams joint = Vb/4 =
