SEISMIC VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION

LOAD 10 TO 13: SEISMIC LOAD (E)

V= A IE C W (kN)
R
A= 0.12 (Zone 2)
IE = 1.0
Cx = S 1.75
1.2(Tx)
= 3.64 1.750
Cz = S 1.75
1.2(Tz)
= 3.64 1.750
Tx = Ctx(hn)3/4

= 0.21
Tz = Ctz(hn)3/4
= 0.21
hn = 7.0 (m)
Ctx = 0.0488 Steel Structure (Braced Structure)
Ctz = 0.0488 Steel Structure (Braced Structure)
S= 2.0 Scoefficient according to soil profile
Rx = 3.5 Steel Structure (Braced Structure)
Rz = 3.5 Steel Structure (Braced Structure)

W = Total Weight of Structure

Therefore:

Vx = A IE Cx W Distribution of Seismic Force to each story

Vx = 0.060 W V= Ft +i=1 Fi
Ft = 0.07TV
Vz = A IE Cz W
Rz Fn = (V-Ft ) Wi hi
Vz = 0.060 W
