16. PERFORM ANALYSIS
17. Check/Open Analysis Log File
18. Check Column Gravity Loads. How?
Estimate Total LL Reaction = Ave. Live Load x Tributary Area x Number of Floors
Estimate Total SDL Reaction = Ave. SDL x Tributary Area x Number of Floors
Estimate Total SW Reaction = (6.6kPa – 7.3kPa) x Tributary Area x A x B
A = Approximation only = 1.4-1.6 for corner column, 1.1-1.2 for corner column, 1.0 for Interior column
B = 1.0 for 10F, 1.1 for 20F, 1.2 for 30F, 1.3 for 40F (interpolate is needed)
19. Check Static Base Shear and compare with manual calculations, Manual Calculations Based on Static
Force Procedure from NSCP’15/UBC’97.

21. If Necessary Adjust the Eccentricity for Torsion Amplification and Re-Run analysis
22. Check for Diaphragm Displacements/Total Drift per Floor
23. Check for Inter-Storey Drift Ratio

24. Check for Reliability/Redundancy Factor (Rho) Values
25. Check Base Shear Distribution per Floor for 25% Back-up Frame Requirement.
26. If you’re satisfied with results of Item 24 and 25 proceed with step 27 otherwise revised model then
perform check from Step 13 to 25. Note, (a) If you alter wall and column locations re-assign group for
walls and (walls+columns) as well as pier labels assignments before checking step 25 and 26 (b) Set
eccentricity back to 5% for Response Spectrum Case.
27. Reduce the Response Spectrum Base-shear to Match Static Base Shear from Etabs or from Manual
Calculations.
28. Now you have a code compliant P R E L I M I N A R Y Structural Analysis Model

NOTE:
Before running the modal analysis, it is important that you check carefully the
consistency of the units on the structural model. This includes material definition,
properties, and loads.
