    This document provides calculations for wind and seismic loads on a six-story steel office building in Rochester, NY. For wind load, velocity pressure and external pressure coefficients are determined based on building dimensions and location. Wind pressures are calculated for two load cases and total wind load is found for each floor and frame. For seismic load, effective seismic weight, seismic response coefficient, base shear, and story shear forces are determined based on structural properties and site information using ASCE 7-10 standards.

    1|P age
    Structural Design - Steel (CVET-431) Fall 2017

    Wind Load: The typical floor plan and elevation of a six-story office building measuring
    100 ft. by 100 ft. in plan and laterally braced with ordinary moment resisting steel frames as
    shown in the figure. The office building is located in downtown, Rochester, New York.
    Determine the wind load on the building and on each moment frame. Assume that the
    building is enclosed and the roof is flat with the minimum roof slope for drainage).

    1. Risk Category
    a. Table 1.5-1 = Risk category II
    2. Wind Speed (V)
    a. Fig. 26.5-1A = 115mph
    3. Wind Directionality Factor (Kd)
    a. Table 26.6-1 = 0.85
    4. Exposure Category B
    a. Section 26.7
    5. Topographic Factor (Kzt)
    a. Fig 26.8-1 = 1.0
    6. Velocity pressure coefficient (Kh)
    a. Table 28.3-1 based on building height and exposure = 0.85
    7. Internal Pressure coefficient (GCpi)
    a. Table 26.11-1 based on enclosure = +/- 0.18
    8. Velocity pressure (qh)
    a. qh = 0.00256*kh*kzt*kd*(V2) = 0.00256*0.85*1.0*0.85*1152 = 24.46psf
    9. External Pressure coefficient (GCpf)
    a. Fig 28.4-1 = see chart for load cases
    10. a = min(10% of least horz dim, 0.4h) = 10ft
    11. Calculate wind pressure (p)
    a. p = q_h[(GC_pf)-(GC_pi)], see below
    b. 2 load cases for different wind direction
    Load Case A

    Load Case B

    12. Add pressures from windward and leeward walls and multiply by length of wall

    a. Load Case A - P1E*2a+P1*(100-2a)+P4E*2a+P4*(100-2a) = 19.3 psf * 20’+14.2 psf


    *80’+14.9 psf * 20’+11.5 psf *80’ = 2740 lb/ft = 2.74k/ft
    b. Load Case B – P5E*2a+P5*(100-2a)+P6E*2a+P6*(100-2a) = 19.3 psf * 20’+14.2 psf
    *80’+14.9 psf * 20’+11.5 psf *80’ = 2740 lb/ft = 2.74k/ft

    13. Multiply tributary area of each floor to get wind load at each floor, 2 moment frames each direction.

    Seismic Load: For the six-story office building, determine the seismic forces on the building
    and on each moment frame assuming the following design parameters:

    Roof dead load = 25 psf


    Snow load on roof Pf = 31.5 psf
    Floor dead load = 75 psf (includes partitions)
    Floor live load = 50 psf
    Cladding (glazing) = 20 psf
    Site Class: D
    SS = 0.20
    S1 = 0.06
    TL = 8s

    1. Effective seismic weight


    1. All Dead loads
    2. 25% Live load
    3. 20% Snow load
    Dead Loads
    1. Roof = 25psf
    25psf*(100’*100’) = 250,000lbs = 250k
    2. Floor = 75psf (includes partitions)
    75psf*(100’*100’) = 750,000lbs = 750k (per floor)
    3. Cladding = 20psf
    6 levels*[20psf*10’high*400’perimeter] = 480,000lbs = 480k
    4. Total DL = 250k+5*750k+480k = 4480k
    Live Loads
    1. 25%*50psf*(100’*100’) = 125,000lbs = 125k (per floor)
    Snow Load
    1. 20%*31.5psf*(100’*100’) = 63000lbs = 63k

    Effective Seismic weight (W) = DL+25%LL+20%Pf = 4480k+5*125k+63k = 5168k

    2. Seismic Response Coefficient, Cs


    1. Cs=SDS/(R/Ie)
    R = 3.5, Ie = 1.0
    Calculating SDS:
    1. SMS = Fa*SS = 1.6*0.2 = 0.32
    a. Fa from ASCE 7-10 table 11.4-1 based on SS and site class
    2. SM1 = FV*S1 = 2.4*0.06 = 0.14
    a. FV from ASCE 7-10 table 11.4-2 based on S1 and site class
    3. SDS = 2/3*SMS = 2/3*0.32 = 0.21
    4. SD1 = 2/3*SD1 = 2/3*0.14 = 0.10
    CS = SDS/(R/Ie) = 0.21/(3.5/1.0) = 0.061

    2. Check Csmax
    1. T~Ta = Ct*hx = 0.028*600.8 = 0.74 seconds

    5|P age
    Structural Design - Steel (CVET-431) Fall 2017

    Ct and x from ASCE 7-10 Table 12.8-2, h = building height

    2. T can also = 0.1*N = 0.6 seconds

    3. Since T<TL, Csmax = SD1/(T*R/Ie) = 0.1/(0.74*3.5/1) = 0.037 (use CSmax


    instead of CS)
    If T=0.6, Csmax = 0.046

    3. Check CSmin = max(0.044*SDS*Ie, 0.01) = 0.01

    4. Calculate Base Shear (V)


    1. V = CS*W = 0.037*5168k = 191.4k

    5. Vertical Force Distribution (Fx = story force)


    1. Fx = Cvx*V
    1. CVX = Wx*hx/(∑ Wx*hx)
    i. Wx = weight at each floor, hx = height of each floor

    Example:
    W3 = Floor 3 DL + Floor 3 LL + Floor 2 Cladding = 955k
    h3 = 20’
    CV3 = 955k*20’/(166830k-ft) = 0.11
    F3 = 0.11*191.4k = 21.9k

    Solutions for T=0.74 and T=0.6, respectively
