1. INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS

It has established a regular structure that is assumed will use commercial center, which
consists of 6 levels, from the roof of the top floor of any exclusive use.

The main structure resistant to lateral forces of the building will be built entirely of
reinforced concrete, the characteristic compressive strength at 28 days is 280 Kg / cm2.
It was anticipated that the first level has a height of 5.00mts, with other levels of
3.50mts high in both cases considered from floor to floor.

The building with columns and structural walls (plaques) was structured, then defining a
system of reinforced concrete structural walls; the center of the building has no slab, and
that will be occupied by metal stairs to each floor. The building will have closure elements
consist of glass panels, so their weights were not considered during analysis.

The configuration and arrangement of structural elements in plant shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Structural configuration of the building plan.

It has been established that the columns will be BXD = 50x50cm2, beams bxh =
30x60cm2, the walls of t = 30cm, the structural configuration plan you have, and the
spaces shown are taken slab systems lightened in one and two directions, whose
thicknesses are 35cm and 30cm, with separations of its axis at 40cm joists.

Material Name : f'c = 280 Kg / cm2
Specific Gravity : Υm = 2400 Kg /
m3Compressive strength : f'c = 280 Kg /
cm2
Modulus : E'c = 252671.328 Kg / cm2
Cutter Module : Gc = 105279.72 Kg / cm2
Poisson's ratio : 0.2

The modulus of elasticity of concrete, Ec, is calculated using the expression in Section 8.5
of ACI 318, 2011, whose units in Kg / cm 2 are shown below:

𝑘𝑔
Ec = 15100 √ fc ′ [ ]

4. CREATION AND LOAD ALLOCATION PATTERNS

The next step is to create the types of load acting on the building are defined by loading
patterns to continue using the Define this command, we will continue the "Define / Load
Patterns ..." path as well as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Way forward for Defining Load patterns.

Then the "Define Load Patterns" new window will open and load patterns for each type of
load you have for this project will be created. Load patterns create are:

[14
 Static and Dynamic Shear at the Base
Calculation with ETABS Manual
2013
o Dead Weight: The estimates provided and the program will be named "Dead
r Weight"
and will be of type "Dead"; no load is assigned to this pattern.
o Dead Load: Provided by the weight of items and materials that are part of the
building, such as lighting, ceiling finishes, finished floor, internal partitions and
walls subdivision, etc. His name will be "CM" and will be of type "Super Dead"
o Live Load of Mezzanine: This given by the moving components in the building, such
as desks, tables and chairs, shelves, counters, us, etc. Your name
will be "Live" and will be of type "Reducible Live"
o Roof Live Load: Generally considered the weight of people who will be involved
in the placement of the fixtures, finishes, placing toppings and instruments.
Your name will be "LiveUp" and will be of type "Live"

Loading patterns according to load type defined above is then created in Figure 4-2 and
load patterns created are displayed.

Figure 4-2. Load patterns created, according to the definition.

Here we can also create a seismic load pattern representing the static shear at the base of
the building and is calculated automatically. To do this we created a load type "Seismic"
called "Quake X", that will represent the static shear on X direction analysis, also shown.

Figure 4-3. Static Seismic Load Patterns.

[15
 Static and Dynamic Shear at the Base

What we are lacking is to tell the program that the pattern of seismic load is created
really geared to address X, therefore, we will modify this pattern using the button Load

usingthebutton on all windows.

Figure 4-4. Definition of Seismic Load Pattern in the Direction X.

Once we have created the load patterns we need for this project, we proceed to assign
loads according to the type of load you have. The values for each type of load are listed in
Table 4-1.

5. WEIGHT CALCULATION OF CASH BY SEISMIC NTE E.030

The Effective Seismic Weight of the building is determined in accordance with Article
16.3 of the NTE E.030 presented.

As the building will use mall, then according to Table No. 3 of the NTE 030 E. Seismic
Design, Building category rightful is Type B. Then, according to this, we to use the item.
Article 16.3

Such a way of formula, the Building Seismic Weight Cash, P, is determined as:

𝑷 = (𝑷𝒆 𝑷𝒊 𝑪 +) +. 𝒊𝒗𝒆 +. 𝒊𝒗𝒆𝑷

In ETABS, the way to do this is through the Define menu via the "Mass
Source ... ", so as indicated in Figure 5-1. Then in the window of the Source Definition
Mass we enter the data recently calculated, so as detailed in Figure 5-2.

𝐶 = the seismic amplification factor, which depends on the period of the structure and
Floor. As this value depends on a time period T (s) and the Design Spectrum is
plotted as a function of time, then, we can generate a table of values of Sa / g - Time with
Sa / g dependent on C, then the design spectrum would be plotted as shown in Figure 6-1,

7. AUTOMATIC CALCULATION BASED ON STATIC SHEAR

To determine the static base shear, V, of the building, we use the expression shown in
Section 17.3 we show below:

𝑍𝐶
=
∙𝑃
The description, location and values for each parameter are given in section 6
this material. In addition to this expression, the NTE E.030 indicates that the expression:

𝐶
≥ 0.125

The correct way to determine the shear in the Base Building is as follows:

1 °. Determine the Fundamental Period, T, of the structure.

In the program we can see the fundamental period, T, of the structure by

Table "Modal Mass Participation Ratios", whose capture is shown in Figure 7-1.

Figure 7-1. Modal forms, display table and Fundamental PPMM periods.

2 °. Calculate the value of seismic amplification factor, C, in accordance with

the type of soil, through the expression of Section 7 of the E.030.

𝑝
𝐶 = 2.5 ( ), 𝐶≤ 2.5
𝐶 = 2.5 ( 0.9 ) = 6.33802817> 2.5

0.355

∴ 𝑪 =.

4 °. Determine the value of ��

𝐶
𝑍

𝑍𝐶

In the program, this data is entered in the "Define Load Patterns" window in Figure 4-3
calculated by entering the Base Shear Coefficient, C value, also shown in Figure 4-4.

5 °. Calculate the Base Shear.

Using the expression given at the beginning of this section, the shear is calculated on the
basis of the building, but first we must calculate the effective seismic weight, the
program is displayed by Table "Center of Mass and Rigidity" whose capture is shown in
Figure 7-2.

Figure 7-2. Seismic Building Effective masses.

Here we can see the effective seismic weights for each floor and, because we assign a single
aperture for all levels, in the column of accumulated weights see the accumulated weights
arriving at each floor, with the value of the Effective Seismic Weight
Equal
×. =. . to � � = 3670272 = 3 670 272 Building. Then the shear at the Base Building will be: =.

8 CALCULATION OF DYNAMIC SHEAR

To determine the dynamic shear, due to the spectral accelerations and mode shapes, modal
and directional combinations using CQC and ABS. We follow the path shown in Figure 8-1
and then the "Load Cases" window where the load cases that have generated, product
loading patterns defined in paragraph 4 are open.

Figure 8-1. Path to Command Load Cases.

In this window we will generate load cases of type Dynamic Response Spectrum Analysis
for each direction, whose definitions are shown in Figures 8-2 and 8-3.

Figure 8-2. Case Definition of Dynamic Load on Address X, EQ-XX.

Then accept each load case generated by the button , Being the case of static
and dynamic loading as shown in Figure 8-4. After that the model was run and proceeded
to display the Dynamic cutting for each address.

Figure 8-4. Cases of Static and Dynamic Load.

Having done the analysis, we proceed with viewing the Dynamic Shear by Tablas, which we
will use to being this Table "Story Forces" shown in Figure 8-5. Here we can see the values
for the Dynamic Shear in X and Y Directions
