When Response Spectum is Needed

Static analysis may be applied to buildings which fulfill the following two conditions:
1. The building period in the two main horizontal directions is smaller than both 4TC and
2 seconds.
2. The building does not possess irregularity in elevation as defined in BNBC 2020 Sec
2.5.5.3.
The Buildings that does not fulfill these two conditions, require dynamic analysis
procedures such as Response Spectrum Analysis.

Mass to be Used
Seismic weight is the total dead load of a building or a structure, including partition walls,
and applicable portions of other imposed loads listed below:
For live load up to and including 3 kN/m2, a minimum of 25 percent of the live load shall
be applicable.
For live load above 3 kN/m2, a minimum of 50 percent of the live load shall be applicable.
Total weight (100 percent) of permanent heavy equipment or retained liquid or any
imposed load sustained in nature shall be included.
Where the probable imposed loads (mass) at the time of earthquake are more correctly
assessed, the designer may go for higher percentage of live load.

 Load Combination for Serviceability

For serviceability limit states involving visually

objectionable deformations, repairable cracking or
other damage to interior finishes, and other short
term effects, the suggested load combinations for
checking vertical deflection due to gravity load is
1. D + L
For serviceability limit states involving creep,
settlement, or similar long‐term or permanent
effects, the suggested load combination is:
2. D + 0.5L
For serviceability limit state against lateral
deflection of buildings and structures due to wind
effect, the
following combination shall be used:
3. D + 0.5L + 0.7W
 Notes
1. Use ETABS file corresponding to Ultimate Limit State
2. Use ACI 318-08 as the design code which is similar to BNBC 2020
3. Check adequacy of beam, column, shear wall etc.
4. For SMRF buildings, additional checks are needed
Joint Shear check
Column/beam capacity ratio check

5. Turn on P-Delta option if required

Project Name

Engineer's Name

Notes:
 The Section Modifier should be used corresponding to
Service Condition.

If Soft Story Exist

Special arrangement is needed to increase the lateral strength and
stiffness of the soft/open storey.
The following two approaches may be considered: Storey
1. Dynamic analysis of such building may be carried out
incorporating the strength and stiffness of infill walls and
inelastic deformations in the members, particularly those in
the soft storey, and the members designed accordingly.
2. Alternatively, when system overstrength factor, Ωo, is not
included in determining seismic load effects, the following
design criteria are to be adopted after carrying out the
earthquake analysis, neglecting the effect of infill walls in
other storeys. Structural elements (e.g columns and beams)
of the soft storey are to be designed for 2.5 times the storey
shears and moments calculated under seismic loads
neglecting effect of infill walls. Shear walls placed
symmetrically in both directions of the building as far away
from the centre of the building as feasible are to be designed
exclusively for 1.5 times the lateral shear force calculated
before.
from the centre of the building as feasible are to be designed
