📐 Analysis of Multistory Structures Subjected to Earthquake Force by Seismic Coefficient Method

Course Description:

The seismic coefficient method is one of the fundamental static procedures for earthquake resistant design of structures. It involves applying horizontal and/or vertical forces, which are calculated as products of the seismic coefficients HK, VK and the weight of the structure, to analyze the structural response. This approach is also known as "pushover" analysis.

In this course, you will learn about:

• Three Basic Methods for analyzing seismic responses: Static analysis, Response spectra analysis, and Time history analysis.

Steps for Seismic Coefficient Method:

We'll take you through each step of the process:

Step-I Calculation Design Base Shear

Learn how to calculate the base shear using the design horizontal acceleration coefficient (Ah), zone factor (Z), importance factor (I), and response reduction factor (R). These values are crucial in determining how much force your structure must resist.

Lateral Load Resisting System

Understand the different lateral load resisting systems, including moment frame systems with and without masonry infill walls, and their respective parameters.

• Moment Resisting Frame (without any masonry infill wall): Calculate Ta using the formula Ta=0.075h⁰.75 for RC MRF buildings or 0.080h⁰.75 for RC steel composite MRF buildings.
• Moment Resisting Frame (with any masonry infill wall): Determine Ta=0.09h/Γd for steel MRF buildings.

Step II - Calculation Seismic Weight of Building

Learn how to calculate the seismic load, which includes the dead load, live load, and floor finish, and understand the significance of dead and live loads in the overall seismic weight calculation.

Step III - Calculate Base Shear

Implement the formula VB=Ah*W to determine the base shear, which will guide your structural design.

Step IV - Determine Lateral Force

Discover how to calculate the lateral force distribution across the building's floors, using the base shear and understanding the importance of the floor's seismic weight (wi) and its height above the base (hi).
