90 m in Zone 1
Irregular buildings with height greater than 12 m in Zones 2, 3, 4 and greater than
40 m in Zone 1
or: V=SaW
Here V- Design Base Shear
W- Seismic weight
Sa- Design spectral acceleration
Here, DBE is considered, which is 2/3 of MCE

Basic structural systems:
◼ Bearing Wall System: Bearing walls/bracing
systems without a complete vertical load-
carrying frame to support gravity loads.
Resistance to lateral loads is provided by
shear walls or braced frames.
◼ Building Frame System: A complete space
frame that provides support for gravity loads.
Resistance to lateral loads is provided by
shear walls or braced frames separately.
◼ Moment Resisting Frame System: A
complete space frame that provides support
for gravity loads. Moment-resisting frames
also provide resistance to lateral loads
primarily through the flexural action of their
members.
❑ Special Moment Frames
❑ Intermediate Moment Frames
❑ Ordinary Moment Frames
◼ Dual System: A Combination of moment-
resisting frames and shear. Walls or braced
frames. The moment resisting frames shall
be capable of resisting at least 25% of the
applicable total seismic lateral force.
◼ Special Structural System: Not defined
above, such as tube-in-tube, bundled tube,
etc.
R depends on Basic structural systems.
[ASCE 7 and other model building codes acknowledge that structures will be loaded beyond their elastic
range during seismic events. Damping and ductile yielding make it unnecessary to design for the full
inelastic design force; therefore, the code divides the seismic response by the R-factor to obtain a lower
elastic design force or base shear. Higher R-factors represent more ductile systems and, therefore, yield a
lower seismic design force.
Deflections are multiplied by the Deflection Amplification Factor, Cd, to obtain the expected inelastic
deflections. Similarly, the System Overstrength Factor, Ωo, is an amplification factor that is applied to the
elastic design forces to estimate the maximum expected force that will develop.]
Seismic Design Category:
A classification assigned to a structure based on its importance factor and the severity of the
design earthquake ground motion at the site.
Buildings shall be assigned a seismic design category among B, C or D based on seismic zone,
local site conditions and importance class of building, as given in Table 6.2.18. Seismic design
category D has the most stringent seismic design detailing, while seismic design category B has
the least seismic design detailing requirements.
SDC D structures shall satisfy the requirements of special seismic detailing as given in Sections 8.3.3 to
8.3.8
SDC C structures shall be built to satisfy the requirements of intermediate seismic detailing as given in
Sec 8.3.10
SDC B structures shall be built to satisfy the requirements of ordinary detailing as given in Sec 8.3.9
