b (mm)= 300
Floor to floor height (m) = 3
Total column number = 39
Area, A (m 2 ) = 438.70

Coefficients and Fundamental Period
Tab. 16-I Site Location => Ngong
Tab. 16-J By Analysis, structure in Zone 2A: Zone Factor = 0.2 0.2
Tab. 16-N Soil Profile, SC: Very dense soil and soft rock
Tab. 16-Q Ductility factor (Building Frame; Concrete shear wall), R = 5.5 5.5

Seismic coefficient factors: Ca = 0.24
Eqn. 30.8 Cv = 0.33 0.33
Fundamental period of the building, T = Ct (hh)3/4
Ct = 0.05 (Other Structures) hh (m) = 21.5 m
T = 0.05 x [(21.5) ^ (3/4)] = 0.49 seconds 0.49
Building Weight
EC 8 Seismic weight, w = 1.0G + 0.3Q
Dead Load
Slab s/w (kN) = 25 x 0.15 x 438.70 = 1645.125
Finishes & Screeds s/w (kN) = 1.5 x 438.70 = 658.05 1645.125
Beam s/w (kN) = 0.40 x 0.30 x 25 x 84.63 = 253.89 658.05
Column s/w (kN) = 0.4 x 0.3 x 3 x 25 x 39 = 351 253.89
Cladding s/w (kN) = 12.8 x 84.63 = 1083.264 351
Total (kN) = 3991.329 3991.329
Imposed load
Average per floor (kN) = 3 x 438.70 = 1316.1
Total (kN) = 1316.1 1316.1
Seismic weight/floor, w = 1.0 x 3991.329 + 0.3 x 1316.1 = 4386.159 kN
Total seismic weight, W = 4386.159 x 8 = 35089.272 kN 4386.159
35089.272
Base Shear
Base shear, V = min {[(CvIW)/RT]; [(2.5CaIW)/R]} where I = 1
V = [(0.33 x 1 x 35089.272)/5.5 x 0.49] = 4296.65 kN 4296.65
V = [(2.5 x 0.15 x 1 x 35089.272)/8.5 = 3827.92 kN 3827.92
Therefore Base Shear, V = 3827.92 kN
