Example 6: Seismic Base Shear Distribution Across Floors

Problem Statement:

A 5-story residential building is subjected to seismic forces as per IS 1893. Distribute the base shear

across floors.

Given Data:

1. Total Base Shear (Vb): 200 kN

2. Building Height: 15 m (5 stories, each 3 m)

3. Mass per Floor: 50 kN

Solution Steps:

1. Calculate Height Factor (hi) and Mass Factor (mi):

Floor 5: hi = 15 m, mi = 50 kN

Floor 4: hi = 12 m, mi = 50 kN

Continue similarly for other floors.

2. Calculate Distribution Factor:

Fi = (mi * hi²) / ?(mi * hi²)

3. Distribute Base Shear:

Floor 5: Fi = 0.4 × 200 = 80 kN

Floor 4: Fi = 0.3 × 200 = 60 kN

Continue similarly for other floors.

Conclusion:

The base shear is distributed as per IS 1893 recommendations to ensure design safety.
