V.IBC 2018 Static Seismic T 1.2

Verify the program-calculated base shear and its distribution along the height of a three-story frame by using the equivalent lateral force method per IBC 2018. Also, verify the torsional moments to which the floors are subjected to, considering inherent as well as accidental torsion.

Details

A three-story structure is subject to a seismic load from the +X direction.

Plan View

Assumptions

  1. Mapped MCER spectral response acceleration parameter at short period, Ss = 2.02
  2. Mapped MCER spectral response acceleration parameter at a period of 1 s, S1 = 0.795
  3. Risk Category – I (Hence, From Table 1.5-2, Importance Factor I = 1)
  4. Site Class – D (SCLASS 4)
  5. Response Modification Factor (RX & RZ) = 3
  6. Long-period Transition Time (TL)=12 s
  7. Seismic weight is composed of UDLs (magnitude -5 kN/m, direction GY) (defined in Reference Load Definition), incident on the beams
  8. Time Period of the Structure in both directions (PX & PZ) = 1.2 s
  9. Time period coefficients, CTX = CTZ = 0.28
  10. Exponents in time period equation: XX = XZ = 1
  11. The effect of shear deformation is neglected

Validation

Calculation of Base Shear

Based on Ss and S1, Fa = 1 (per table 11.4-1) and Fv = 1.7 (per table 11.4-2).

Hence:

SMS = Fa x Ss = 1 x 2.02 = 2.02 Eq. 11.4-1

SDS = 2/3 × SMS = 1.347 Eq. 11.4-3

SM1 = Fv x S1 = 1.7 x 0.795 = 1.382 Eq. 11.4-3

SD1 = 2/3 × SM1 = 0.901 Eq. 11.4-4

C s initial = S D S R / I   =   0.4489 Eq. 12.8-2

The natural period of the structure, TN = 1.2 s (TX 1.2, provides as user input).

Height of the structure, h = 9 m.

So the approximate time period, Ta = Ct×hx = 0.28(9m)1.0 = 2.52 s

From Table 12.8-1, Cu = 1.4 (for SD1 > 0.4).

Cu × Ta = 3.528 s

The time period used, TR , is the lesser of TN and Cu×Ta , which is 1.2 s (< TL = 12 s).

( C s ) max = S D 1 T × ( R / I ) = 0.25028 Eq. 12.8-3

(CS)min1 = 0.044 × SDS × I = 0.059

Eq. 12.8-5

Since S1 = 0.795 > 0.6g, equation 12.8-6 also needs to be considered for calculating the lower limit of Cs :

C s min2 = 0.5 × S 1 R / I   =   0.1325
Eq. 12.8-6

Therefore, (Cs)min = 0.1325 < Cs.

Cs = 1.5× 0.2503 = 0.3754

The seismic weight, W is taken as the total seismic weight of the beams: = 5 × 3 × 69 = 1,035 kN

So the total base shear, V = CS × W = 0.3754 × 1,035 = 388.56 kN

Vertical Distribution of Lateral Forces

Since, time period of the structure T = 1.2 s > 0.5 s and T < 2.5 s, as per clause 12.8.3, value of k needs to be linearly interpolated.

k = 1.35

Hence, from equation 12.8-11 and equation 12.8-12, we can find the lateral forces in different story levels, as follows:

Consideration of Inherent Torsion (Clause 12.8.4.1)

Floor Level – Roof (9 m)

From output file, CRZ = 3. 831 m and CMZ = 3.848 m

Hence, static eccentricity esi = CMZ - CRZ = 0.017 m

Floor Level – 2nd (6 m)

From output file , CRZ = 3.858 m and CMZ = 3.848 m

Hence, static eccentricity esi = CMZ - CRZ = -0.01 m

Floor Level – 1st (3 m)

From output file , CRZ = 3.902 m and CMZ = 3.848 m

Hence, static eccentricity esi = CMZ - CRZ = -0.054 m

Consideration of Accidental Torsion (Clause 12.8.4.2)

At all floor levels:

0.05 × Lz = 0.05 × 9m = 0.45 m

where
Lz
=
the dimension of the structure along the global Z axis

Hence, total eccentricity to inherent and accidental torsion at roof level er = (0.45 + 0.017) = 0.467 m

Total eccentricity to inherent and accidental torsion at 2nd floor level e2 = (0.45 - 0.01) = 0.44 m

Total eccentricity to inherent and accidental torsion at 1st floor level e1 = (0.45 - 0.054) = 0.396 m

Total torsional moment at roof level = Froof × er = 215.20 × 0.467 = 100.51 kN·m

Total Torsional moment at 2nd floor level = F2nd × e2 = 124.50 × 0.440 = 54.779 kN·m

Total torsional moment at 1st floor level = F1st × e1 = 48.84 × 0.396 = 12.893 kN·m
