EARTHQUAKE LOADS CALCULATION

in accordance with P-100-1/2006

Earthquake shear force which acts on equipment :

Fb= γI*Sd(T)*m*λ= 1,2 * 0,104*m*g [N]
Importance factor for
importance class II (table
γI = 1,2 4.2)

Ordinate of design response

spectrum which coresponds
Sd(T) = ag*β(T)/q = 0,214*g m/sec2 to fundamental period T

m Equipment weight [kg]

Correction factor taking
into account fundamental
vibration mode (as per cap.
λ = 0,85 4.5.3.2.2)
0,16*g Ground acceleration for ...
ag = m/sec2 (fig. 3.1)
9,81
g = m/sec2 Gravitational acceleration
β(T) = 1+(β0-1)*T/TB= 1,53 for 0<T≤TB
= β0= for TB<T≤TC
= β0*TC/T= for TC<T≤TD
= β0*TC*TD/T2= for T>TD
Control (Edging) periods
TB, TC, TD (fig. 3.2 & table 3.1)
TB = 0,1 sec.
TC = 0,7 sec.
TD = 3 sec.
Fundamental period of the
T = 0,0303 sec. structure
Structure behavior factor
q = 2 (table 6.3-structures with

medium dissipation)
Factor of maximum dinamic
β0 = 2,75 amplification of ground

horizontal acceleration

Fundamental period of the structure (1/Frequency):

T = 1/f= 0,0303 sec.

The Natural frequency for the vessel in operation

f = 33 Hz

Note:

Seismic loads actions in two perpendicular direction in horizontal plane:

100% Fb-in direction OX
30% Fb-in direction OZ
The calculation method is Uniform Loads in G's.
