Data for Equivalent Static Method:
Seismic zone: - Zone III
Damping ratio: - 5%
Seismic zone factor (Z):- 0.16 (Table 2)
Importance factor (I):- 1(Table 6)
Response reduction factor(R):- 3 (OMRF)
Fundamental natural period (Ta) = 0.075(h).75
= 0.075x (18).75
= 0.655
‘Sa/g’ is spectral acceleration = 1/T a = 1/ 0.655 = 1.53
Foundation soil type: - Hard soil
The total seismic Base shear is given by
VB = AHW
AH = Design horizontal acceleration spectrum values and
it is determined by the following expression.
W = total seismic weight of building
AH = (Z/2)*(I/R)*(Sa/g)
= (0.16/2)*(1/3)*(1.53)
= .0408
The total seismic Base shear
= .0408*10895
Vb= 446 kN

Wind Load Calculations
The wind load is calculated as per IS 875(Part-III)
VZ = Vb*k1* k2* k3
where ,
Vz = design wind speed at any height z in m/s;
k1 = probability factor (risk coefficient)
k2 = terrain, height and structure size factor
k3 = topography factor.
Data available:
Vb= design wind speed at any height z in m/s
=33 km/h
k1 = probability factor (risk coefficient) =1.0
k2 = terrain, height and structure size factor
=category 3; building class B
k3 = topography factor=1.0
 Design Wind Pressure:

PZ =0.6VZ2
where,
PZ = design wind pressure in N/m2 at height z
VZ = design wind velocity in m/s at height z
