5.5.4 Calculation of seismic response coefficient:

Cs = SDS / (R/I) = 0.178 (As per eq. 12.8-2 of ASCE 7-05)

Maximum value of Cs:

Approximate fundamental time period Ta = C t hnx = 0.167 sec
For, All othere structural system
Ct = 0.0488 and x= 0.75 [From table 12.8-2 of ASCE 7 - 05]
Height of the structure from the base, h n …………….= 5.150 m
Coefficient of upper limit on calculated period, C u = 1.44
(From table 12.8-1 of ASCE 7 - 05)
Actual fundamental time period = sec
Hence, the Fundamental period of the structure, T = 0.17 sec
\ CS,max = 0.390 (As per Eq. 12.8 -3 of ASCE 07 - 05)

Minimum value of Cs:

From Eq. 12.8-5 & 12.8-6 of ASCE we get, CS,min = 0.01

Hence, adopted Cs = 0.178

Factored Seismic Base Shear, V = Cs W = 45.9 kN

Unfactored Seismic Base Shear, 0.7 V = 32.1 kN

Note:

The seismic lump weight is taken by separately analyzing a STAAD model with every
joints considered as pinned support. From the above STAAD model the nodal
reactions due to dead load is taken and the seismic forces are calculated as below:

1. Total seismic weight is found from the STAAD model and their corresponding
node numbers are noted.

2. The loads corresponding to the nodes located at ground is neglected and half of
the same loads are transferred to the nodes located immediately above the nodes
mentioned earlier.
3. Let us say the loads found as above are w i.
4. Depending upon the time period the exponent 'k' is determined.
5. The nodal distribution of seismic forces are calculated as:

�_𝑥=𝐶_𝑣𝑥 ×�

Where, V = Seismic base shear.

Cvx = wxhxk / ∑wihik

Note:
a. Vertical distribution of seismic forces is calculated as per section 12.8.3 of ASCE 7 - 05.
b. Period of structure T = 0.17 s < 0.5 s
