EARTHQUAKE ANALYSIS:

Seismic weight calculation: The seismic weights are calculated in a manner similar to gravity loads.
The weight of columns and walls in any storey shall be equally distributed to the floors above and
below the storey. As per IS:1893 (PART I) following reduced live loads are used.
Terrace – 0%
Floors – 25%
The seismic weights are now calculated as follows:
(a) Storey 2 (Terrace)

DL LL
From slab 18*18*(4.75+0) 1539.00 0
Parapet 4*18*(5.1+0) 367.20 0
Walls External 0.5*4*18*(12.24+0) 440.64 0
Walls Internal 0.5*4*18*(6.72+0) 241.92 0
Beams 8*18*(2.59+0) 372.96 0
Columns 0.5*16*3*(5.06+0) 121.44 0
Total: 3084 0 kN

(b) Storey 1, GF

DL LL
From slab 18*18*(5.75+0.5*3) 1863 486
Walls External 4*18*(12.24+0) 881.28 0
Walls Internal 4*18*(6.72+0) 483.84 0
Beams 8*18*(2.59+0) 372.96 0
Columns 16*3*(5.06+0) 242.88 0
Total: 3844 486 kN

(c) Plinth

DL LL
Walls External 0.5*4*18*(12.24+0) 440.64 0
Walls Internal 0.5*4*18*(6.72+0) 241.92 0
Below GL:
Walls External (0.5*0.255*20)4*18 183.60 0
Walls Internal (0.5*0.140*20)4*18 100.80 0
Ground Beam 8*18*(2.59+0) 372.96 0
Columns 16*3*(5.06+0) 242.88 0

Total: 1582.8 0 kN

Seismic weight of entire building = 3084+(3844+0.25*486)*2+1583

= 13327 kN
BASE SHEAR:

In fill walls contribution is taken into account, thus as per IS:1893 PART I

T=0.09*h/(√𝑑) h=12m d=18.23m

T=0.253s

Zone Factor Z=0.16 for Zone III

Importance factor I=1.0 (Residential building)

Type of soil is MEDIUM.

Sa/g= 2.50

For ordinary building frame, response reduction factor R=5.0

Then Ah = (Z/2)*(I/R)*(Sa/g)

Ah = (0.16/2)*(1/3)*2.50 = 0.04

Base shear VB = Ah*W = 0.04*13327 = 504 kN

Total base shear of 504 kN will now be distributed along height of the building as per clause 7.7.1 of
IS:1893 PART 1, calculation are tabulated below.
