Example of Base Shear Calculation using NBC 105:2077

 

A five story reinforce concrete building is to be designed as MRFS and is located in Kathmandu having very soft soil. Determine the seismic base shear according to NBC105:2077                 

L.L=3kN/m2 Floor Finish= 1kN/m2 Roof Live load=1.5kN/m2 importance factor =1.25 M25 concrete Fe500 steel

Slab Thickness: 125 mm Beam: 300*450 Column: 450*450 Story Height =3.2m

                  

Solution:

Calculation of Total DL and LL

Weight of Slab: 5*20*12*0.125*25

                             =3750kN

Weight of beam= (20*4+12*5)*5*0.3*0.45*25

                             =2362.5kN

Weight of Column=0.45*0.45*20*(3.2-0.45)*5*25

                                =1392.1875kN

Floor Finish =20*12*5*1

                    =1200kN

Live load =20*12*3*4

                =2880kN

Roof Live Load =1.5*20*12

                            =360kN

Total Dead load = weight of (Slab + beam + column+ floor Finish)

                           =3750+2362.5+1392.1875+1200

                            =8704.6875kN

Total Live Load = 2880+360

                          =3240kN

 

Seismic weight

The seismic weight at each level, Wi shall be taken as the sum of the dead loads and the factored seismic live loads between the mid-heights of adjacent stories.

The seismic live load is taken as 0.3LL

Seismic Weight =9465.4685kN

The approximate fundamental period of vibration, T1, in seconds is determined from following empirical equation

T1 = kt *H ¾

  =0.075*160.75

       =0.6sec                                                                                                                                        

The approximate fundamental time period calculated using empirical equation shall be increased by a factor of 1.25.

T=1.25*0.6

     =0.75sec

For Kathmandu Very Soft Soil (Type D soil)

Z=0.35 Importance Factor I=1.25

For T=0.75 and D Type soil the

The Spectral Shape Factor Ch(T)=2.25



Elastic Site Spectra for horizontal loading is given by C(T)=Ch(t)*Z*I

                                                                                                 =2.25*0.35*1.25

                                                                                                 =0.984375

Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frame

Ductility Factor()= 4               Over strength Factor Ultimate limit State(Ωu)= 1.5

For the ultimate limit state, the horizontal base shear co-efficient shall as given by:

Cd(𝑇𝑖)=C(𝑇𝑖)/Rμ x Ωu

                =0.9843/4*1.5

             =0.1640

Base Shear Force= base shear co-efficient*seismic Weight

                            =0.1640*9465.4685kN

                              V=1552.34kN

VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SEISMIC FORCES

The lateral seismic force (Fi) induced at each level ‘i’ shall be calculated as:

Fi=(Wihik/ΣWihik )x V
