SEISMIC LOAD ANALYSIS PER UBC-97 - EQUIVALENT LATERAL FORCE METHOD

Notation:
V - total design lateral force or shear at the base of the building
Cs - seismic response coefficient
W - total gravity load of the building located or assigned to Levels
Seismic Zone Factor - Zone 3 Z=0.3 (see UBC-97 Table 16-I)
R - response modification factor (see UBC-97 Table 16N)
I - occupancy importance factor (see UBC-97 Table 16-K)
Ca - Seismic Coefficient Represents site-dependent effective peak acceleration at grade (see UBC-97 Table 16Q)
Cv - Seismic Coefficient Represents acceleration response at 1.0 sec period (see UBC -97 Table 16R)
T - approximate fundamental period (see UBC-97 Section 1630.2.2)
CT = building period coefficient (see ASCE 7-98 Section 9.5.3.3)
Cu - coefficient for upper limit on calculated period (see ASCE 7-98 Table 9.5.3.3)
hn - height in feet (meters) above the base to the highest level of the building
Cvx - vertical distribution factor
Wx, Wi - the portion of the total gravity load of the building (W) located or assigned to level I or x
hx - the height (feet or m) from the base level I or x
Fx - the portion of the seismic base shear, V, induced at level x

Analysis:
Assume Soil Profile D ---> Stiff Soil - UBC-97 Table 16J
Occupancy Category IV (UBC -97 Table 16K)
For T<Ts
V = 2.5CaI W

For T>Ts
V = CvI W
