Distribution of the Horizontal Seismic Forces

➢First Method:
ET  E (Fx )  0.3E(Fy )
ET  0.3E(Fx )  E(Fy )
To be used in each direction
➢Second Method:
Horizontal Components of the Seismic Action.

Structural Modeling Modification Factors

The horizontal forces Fb shall be distributed to the
lateral resisting elements assuming rigid floors.
(Diaphragms)

Floor slab acts like a beam
resisting horizontal rather
than vertical forces and
possessing span-to-depth
ratio smaller than that of a
typical beam. Just like
simply supported beam the
diaphragm bends under
the influence of the
horizontal inertia forces,
spanning not between
piers or posts, but between
two structural walls

➢C.G. or Center of Mass is the location where the earthquake
force acts. It depends on the shape of the floor in plan.
➢C.R. or Center of Rigidity is the location of the resultant of
the forces that resist the earthquake force. It depends on the
distribution of the elements that resist the earthquake force.
Center of Gravity and Center of Rigidity
If the C.G. is not coincide with C.R., torsional moment will
develop. The torsional moment depend on Eccentricity.

At any floor, the external shear force Qj and
external moment Mj will be distributed between
the walls in the ratio of their flexural rigidities.

requires consideration of accidental torsion by
increasing the design straining actions on element by
a factor δ.
Where:
X = distance from the element to the C.G.
Le = distance between the outermost elements
resisting EQ measured in a direction ┴ to EQ load.
For Symmetrical structures, the Egyptian code

Accidental torsion effects(code item 8-7-2)
In addition to actual eccentricity, to cover uncertainties in
location of masses, calculated center of mass at each floor
i shall be considered displaced from its nominal location
in each direction by an additional accidental eccentricity:
eli= ± 0.05 Li
Where:
eli :accidental eccentricity of storey mass i from its
nominal location, applied in the same direction at all
floors,
Li: floor-dimension perpendicular to the direction of
the seismic action.

Guide I for System selection
Simple symmetric and rectangular plans are preferable.
Buildings with articulated plans such are T, L and other
unsymmetrical shapes should be avoided as possible
and may be subdivided into simple forms

Guide II for System selection:
Symmetry of floor plans should be provided as possible because
lack of symmetry induces significant torsion effect (try to get the
center of rigidity coinciding with the center of mass).

Guide III for System selection
The infill walls alter lateral stiffness of frames and hence the
location of center of rigidity. Unsymmetrical infill wall can
cause significant torsion which should be accounted for in
design

Guide IV for System selection:
Regularity in building elevation in both geometry and storey
stiffness should be ensured. Abrupt changes in elevation may
result in concentration of straining actions at these locations.

Displacement Analysis: means maximum lateral movement of the
structure due to EQ forces, measured from the home situation.
Lateral Drift: is the relative movement between floors(difference between
the displacement of top floor and the displacement of the lower one)

ds = 0.7 R de
Where
:ds = Actual Displacement due to EQ forces
R = Ductility reduction factor
de = Computed displacement due to DEISGN
earthquake forces
0.7 = factor to get working displacement
(Note: earthquake force is ultimate load)
