Applicability:
The static lateral force procedure may be used for the following
structures:
All structures, regular or irregular (Table1.a and 1.b), in seismic zone
no. 1 and in standard occupancy structures in seismic zone no. 2
(see Table 2 OR BNBC TABLE, 6.2.22 for zone classification and Table
3 OR BNBC TABLE, 6.2.23 for occupancy factors).
Irregular Structures:
Irregular structures are structures having significant physical
discontinuities in configuration or in their lateral force resisting systems
(See Table 1.a and 1.b for detailed description of such structures).
Concept of Method:
The 1994 UBC equivalent static method considers only
horizontal movement and neglects effects of vertical ground
movement.
Statically models the inertial effects using Newton’s 2nd Law of
Motion given by the following eq..
F=M*a
Concept of Method:
Where
F = resulting force on structure
M = building mass
a = acceleration of ground
But
M =W/g
And above Eqn. can be written as
Minimum Design Lateral Forces:
Z = seismic zone factor given in Table (2) and is related to the seismicity of
the zone. It is the effective peak ground acceleration with 10 % probability
of being exceeded in 50 years.
C = dynamic response value, and accounts for how the building and soil
can amplify the basic ground acceleration
T =0.073(hn )3 / 4
For steel moment-resisting frames
T =0.083(hn )3 / 4
Minimum Design Lateral Forces:
Vertical Distribution of Force:
P - D Effects:
The resulting member forces, moments and story drifts induced by P - D
effects are to be considered in the evaluation of overall structural frame
stability. P – D effects are neglected when the ratio given by the Eqn. is
≤ 0.1.
P - D Effects:
STOREY DRIFT LIMITATION
Storey drift is the horizontal displacement of one level of a building or
structure relative to the level above or below due to the design gravity
(dead and live loads) or lateral forces (e.g. wind and earthquake loads).
calculated storey drift shall include both translational and torsional
deflections and conform to the following requirements:
