provisions
5
R Factor
• [Table 12.2‐1 and 15.4‐1, 2]• Strings attached!
• R > 3• Cd, Omega o, Detailing Provisions• AISC 341, ACI Chap 21, etc.
provisions triggered• R = 3: AISC 360 allowed
Table 12.2‐1SCBF R = 6, Omega = 2, Cd = 5, AISC 341 detailingSMF R = 8, Omega = 3, Cd = 5.5, AISC 341 Detailing

R = 1 (?)
• Like Wind• Used by Nuclear and Military Essential• ASCE 7 Proposal• Limitations• 5 pages instead of 70 pages

Omega o Triggers
• [12.4 Load Combinations with Omega zero]• [12.2.5.2 Cantilever Columns] SDC B,C,D,E,F• [12.10.2.1 Collectors – Light Frame, Wood
excepted] SDC C,D,E,F• [12.3.3.3 Columns, Beams Supporting
Discontinuous Walls] SDC B,C,D,E,F• [12.13.6.5 Pile Anchorage] SDC D,E,F• [AISC where R>3, ACI Chapter 21, Appendix D,
Etc.] SDC B,C,D,E,F
Redundancy ‐ Rho
• [12.3.4]• Rho = 1.0 or 1.3• Rho = 1.0 for:
SDC B, C, Drift,Fp (non‐structural Components),Collectors, Omega Zero Load Combinations, Diaphragms.
10
Vertical Seismic Load Effect ‐ Ev
• [12.4.2.2]• Ev = 0.2 Sds• Applied as Dead Load Factor adjustment• x 0.7 for ASD• No Ie, Ip• No Rho• Applies to Fp calcs also!
Load Combinationsand
Allowable Stress Design – 0.7 E
• [12.4.2.3] Section 12.4.2 shall be used in lieuof [2.3.2] and [2.4.1]
• For ASD use 0.7 E• For LRFD use 1.0 E• 0.7 E applies to Fp also
11
Orthogonal Effects
• [12.5]• SDC C for irregular• SDC D,E,F for corner columns• IEEE 693 Equipment applies Orthogonal
Effects to all Conditions, Corner anchor bolts.
Effective Seismic Weight ‐W
• [12.7.2]• No Live Load except:o 25% of Storageo Partitions 10 psf [4.3.2]o Industrial Operating Weight ‐ Unbalancedo 20% of snow > 30psfo Roof Gardens
12
Period T
• [12.8.2.1]• Ok to use T = Ta• Except approximate formulas shall not be
used for Non‐building (industrial) Structures[15.4.4]
Distribute Base Shear over Height
• [12.8.3]• Triangular distribution (First Mode
Effect – Conservative envelope)• Including a Cantilevered Stack,
Fence/wall• Centroid of seismic lateral load at 2/3
height
13
Triangular Distribution over Height
Exponent k =1 = triangleExponent k=2.0 accounts for higher mode effects
Force Distributed over Height
14
Triangular Force Distributionover Height
Distribution of Base Shear over Height
• [12.8.3] [Eqn 12.8‐12]• F=Cvx V• Cvx = wx hx
k /Sum wi hik
• Note: Cvx V, not W
15
Modal Response Spectrum Analysis
• [12.9]• Purpose => More accurately:1. Distributes Base Shear over height2. Horizontal Torsional Effects3. Higher Mode Effects
Modal Analysis
• [12.9.4.1]• Not intended to change Base Shear• Scale to V, 85% V• Should not be far off of V• Scale by R, I, g(gravity conversion for
mass)• Check with miniature/simple model
16
Accidental Torsion
• [12.8.4.2]• In addition to Inherent Torsion• Non‐Building Structures also• Amplify if triggered [12.8.4.3]
Drift Check
• [12.12] [12.8.6 Drift Determination][Table 12.12‐1 Allowable Values]
• Multiply by Cd• Divide by Ie – compare to allowable
(which has Ie embedded)• No 0.7 even if using ASD
17
Diaphragm Forces
• [12.10.1.1]• Fpx, minimums govern at lower stories• Locally higher due to higher mode
effects
Higher Mode effects
• Multi‐story buildings are MDOF
• Lower floors may be out of Phase with upperfloors
• Diaphragms and non‐structural elements maybe locally subjected to higher accelerationsthan the triangular distribution of first mode.

19
Diaphragms
Not simultaneous, not additive
Fp ‐ Nonstructural Components
20
Amplification – high ap for parapet
Nonstructural Component Forces
• Masses further away from ground experiencehigher accelerations
• Higher mode effects cause higheraccelerations than first mode effects at lowerfloors
• Forces may be 1.5 to 2.5 times higher at roofthan at grade
21
Fp Non‐structural Components Chapter 13
1. Run V load combinations2. Run Fp load combination to foundation
• [15.3 Non‐building Structure]• 25% weight rule – Combine stiffness of
equipment in model
22
Wall Design
• Concrete, CMU• [12.11.1 Wall panel]• [12.11.2.1 Wall connectors]
Foundation Ties
• [12.13.5.2] [12.13.6.2]• Pile Caps SDC C,D,E,F• Spread Footings SDC E, F
23
Reduction of Foundation Overturning
• [12.13.4]• At Soil‐Foundation Interface• Reduce by .75 factor
