Example 2: Dynamic Analysis for a Multi-Story Building
Given:
1. Building Height: 20 m
2. Natural Period (T): 1.2 sec
3. Zone Factor (Z): 0.12
4. Importance Factor (I): 1.2
5. Response Reduction Factor (R): 4.0
Solution:
1. Calculate Design Seismic Coefficient (Ah):
Ah = (Z / 2) * (I / R) = (0.12 / 2) * (1.2 / 4.0) = 0.018
2. Using IS 1893, Base Shear (Vb) is distributed across stories based on the mass and stiffness.
Note: Full calculations are in annex.
Dynamic analysis determines story-wise seismic forces for designing individual elements.
