Elastic Site Spectra for French Embassy

This document summarizes the key parameters and calculations for seismic analysis of a proposed 8.4m tall French Embassy building in Kathmandu, Nepal. It provides the elastic site spectra, seismic zoning factor, importance factor, approximated fundamental period, and calculations to determine the horizontal base shear coefficient and design base shear. Reinforced masonry shear walls are identified as the structural system.
