|
Check for Drift
& Torsion for buildings > 40.0 M.
|
For buildings
having irregular shape & / or irregular distribution of mass & stiffness
in horizontal or vertical plane it is desirable to carry out Modal analysis
using Response Spectrum method.
|
In case of
buildings with floor capable of providing rigid diaphragm action, shall be
analyzes as a whole for seismic forces.
|
In case of
buildings where floors are incapable of providing rigid diaphragm action, shall
be analyzed as frame by frame with tributary masses for seismic forces.

TOTAL WEIGHT =
DEAD LOAD + PART OF LIVE LOAD.
|
Fundamental Time
Period " T " is calculated as follows, when Storey heights are between
2.70 M & 3.60 M.
T
= 0.10 * NBR OF STOREY ................ FOR MRF WITHOUT MASONRY INFILL.
T
= 0.09 * TOTAL HEIGHT ÷ (BASE WIDTH)^ 0.50
|
Distribution of
seismic forces along the height of building is given by
Qi = VB * Wi * Hi * Hi ÷ (SUM OF Wi * Hi * Hi)
|
The maximum
horizontal relative displacement (DRIFT) due to earthquake forces between 2
successive forces shall not exceed H ÷ 250.
Please note that IS 456:2000 specifies total maximum
lateral sway at the top of the structure as H÷500
for Wind Loads.
|
Horizontal
twisting [Torsion] takes place in the building when center of mass & center
of rigidity (EI/L) do not coincide. The design eccentricity for Torsion shall be
taken as 1.5 times the computed eccentricity between the center of mass &
center of center of rigidity. -VE TORSIONAL shears shall be neglected.

Damping in
structures in % critical shall be as follows:

|
Towers, tanks,
parapets, stacks & other cantilever projections attached to the buildings
& projecting above the roof shall be designed along with their connections
for 5 times the horizontal seismic coefficient.
|
All horizontal
projections like canopies, balconies & their connections shall be designed
to resist a vertical force equal to 5 times the
vertical seismic coefficient * weight.
|
It may be noted
that values obtained by seismic coefficient method are the maximum values as
obtained by the response spectrum method for 5 % damping & period = 0.2
second.
|
Higher the
Damping Lesser the Seismic Force.
|
Higher the Time
Period Lesser the Seismic Force.
|
Ignoring the
effect of masonry in-fill panels in 3D modeling can lead to larger value of
" T " & low value of seismic force.
|
Difference
between Wind {WL} & Seismic Forces {EL} :
WL is proportional to exposed area, EL is proportional to total floor loads.
WL is constant throughout, EL is parabolic in nature, maximum @ top &
minimum @ bottom.
|
For design of
equipment foundations resting on ground can be
treated as rigid body, & seismic coefficient method can be used or response
spectrum method can be used considering time
period T as zero.
|
In order to
arrive at correct value of base shear using STAAD or other 3D software a user
has to calculate all natural period above 0.04 seconds.
