Determine the Seismic Design Category

 The building is in Occupancy Category II  Get S S and S 1 from the maps or online  Using USGS software with a 99801 zip code: S S = 61.2%; S 1 = 28.9%  The building Site Class is D  From Tables F a = 1.311; F v = 1.822

continued….

 Determine S MS and S M1 S MS = F a S S = 1.311(0.612) = 0.802

S M1 = F v S 1 = 1.822(0.289) = .526

 Determine S DS and S D1 S DS = (2/3) S MS = 2(0.802)/3 = 0.535

S D1 = (2/3) S M1 = 2(0.526)/3 = 0.351

Categorize the Plan Irregularities

 Categorize the Plan Irregularities  The building has re-entrant corners (type 2) since the projection is more than 15% of dimension 0.15(40’) = 6’ < 10’ and 0.15(60’) = 9’ < 30’  No Vertical Irregularities Seismic Provisions Example – A Beginner’s Guide to ASCE 7-05 7

Determine the Analysis Method

 Use ELF Method Seismic Provisions Example – A Beginner’s Guide to ASCE 7-05 8

Determine R, I, and T

a  From Table 5.2.2, R = 6.5 for bearing wall systems consisting of light framed walls with shear panels.

Determine I and T

a  From Table 11.5-1, I = 1.0

 Determine the approximate fundamental period for the building (Section 12.8.2.1) T a = 0.020(40’) 3/4 = .318 sec.

Determine C

s From section 12.8.1.1: C s = S DS /(R/I) = .535/(6.5/1) = 0.0823

lower limit = 0.01

T L = 12 (Figure 22-17) Upper limit = S D1 /(T(R/I)) = .351/(.318*6.5/1) Upper limit = 0.169

USE C S = 0.0823

Compute the Base Shear, V

V = C s W = 0.0823(299.74 k) = 24.67 k  This is the total lateral force on the structure.

Typical Level Horizontal Distribution   Load is distributed according to mass distribution.

Since the loading is symmetrical, each of the two supporting shear walls receives half the story shear.

Determine the Design Shear Force for the Shearwall on Grid A and the 2nd Floor  Story shear from structural analysis is 11.03 kips Seismic Provisions Example – A Beginner’s Guide to ASCE 7-05 16

Compute E

 There is no Dead Load story shear so  E = D Q E = 1.0 (11.03 k ) = 11.03 k  D = 1.0 since the stories resisting more than 35% of the base shear conform to the requirements of Table 12.3-3 (other).

 Q E = 11.03 k Seismic Provisions Example – A Beginner’s Guide to ASCE 7-05 17

ASCE 7 Load Combinations

See ASCE 7-05 2.3 & 2.4

LRFD 5: 1.2(0) + 1.0(11.03) + (0) + 0.2(0) = 11.03 k 7: 0.9(0) + 1.0(11.03) = 11.03 k ASD 5: (0) + 0.7(11.03) = 7.72 k 6: (0) + 0.75(0.7(11.03)) + 0.75(0) + 0.75(0) = 5.79 k 8: 0.6(0) + 0.7(11.03) = 7.72 k Seismic Provisions Example – A Beginner’s Guide to ASCE 7-05 18
