STRU3004
Question:

Determine the seismic design actions (base shear: V, vertical distribution of V: seismic force: Fx,
story shear: Vx and overturning moment: Mx) for a 4-storey special moment resisting reinforced
concrete residential building located in Port-of Spain, Trinidad on Site Class D soil. The story
heights are all 3.6 m. The plan area is 30 m wide by 52.5 m long.

The total dead load (self-weight) is 5.8 KN/m2 at all levels. The moment frame consists of two,
four-bay frames in the transverse direction (shorter direction) and two, seven-bay frames in the
longitudinal direction (longer direction).

a) Provide all necessary calculations and tables in detail. (10 marks)


b) Provide neatly drawn sketches of the building and the corresponding force distribution
diagrams. (5 marks)

Solution:

Figure 1: Seismic Hazard Map for Trinidad at a return rate of 2475 years
Base Shear, V = Cs W

Where Cs , seismic response coefficient.

W, weight of the structure.

Risk Category – II (from ASCE 7-10, table 1.5-1)

Seismic Importance factors, Ie = 1.0 (from ASCE 7-10 table 1.5-2)

Spectral Acceleration: Ss, S1

S= = 1.596g

For Trinidad, CRS = 1.11

⸫ Ss = 1.596 × 1.11 = 1.772g (from seismic hazard map & risk coefficient table)

S1 = 0.412

For Trinidad, CRI = 1.10

⸫ S1 = 0.412× 1.10 = 0.453g (from seismic hazard map & risk coefficient table)

TL = 12 seconds

Site Class – D, which indicates stiff soil profile (from ASCE 7-10, table 20.3-1)

Site Coefficients
Soil Resonance Magnification Factors: Fa & Fv

Fa = 1.0 (from ASCE 7-10, table 11.4-1)

Fv = 1.5 (from ASCE 7-10, table 11.4-2)

Sms = Fa × Ss

= 1.0 × 1.772

= 1.772g

Sm1 = Fv × S1

= 1.5 × 0.453

= 0.680g

= 0.453g

SDS ≥ 0.50 therefore SDC = D for Risk Category II

Cs = n =

Cs must be ≥ 0.01, OK [For T ≤TL(12secs)

Hence, Cs = 0.110
