Example 1 - Calculation of Design Seismic Force by Static Analysis Method

This document provides an example problem to calculate the design seismic force on a 4-story reinforced concrete office building located in Shillong (seismic zone V) using the static analysis method specified in IS 1893(Part 1). The building has a raft foundation and infilled RC frames. Design seismic load is to be determined considering dead loads of 12 kN/m2 on floors and 10 kN/m2 on the roof, and live loads of 4 kN/m2 on floors and 1.5 kN/m2 on the roof.

Example 1 Calculation of Design Seismic Force by Static Analysis


Method
Problem Statement:
Consider a four-storey reinforced concrete office building shown in Fig. 1.1. The building is located in
Shillong (seismic zone V). The soil conditions are medium stiff and the entire building is supported on a raft
foundation. The R. C. frames are infilled with brick-masonry. The lumped weight due to dead loads is 12
kN/m2 on floors and 10 kN/m2 on the roof. The floors are to cater for a live load of 4 kN/m2 on floors and
1.5 kN/m2 on the roof. Determine design seismic load on the structure as per new code.
