The design parameters shown below are given for a 5 story hospital building. Calculate the horizontal earthquake forces and eccentricity moments to be applied on each story for x and y direction earthquakes (Ex and Ey). The building has A1 Type of Torsional Irregularity Problem as described below For all stories bi = 1.5 Location: Avclar, Istanbul Ss 1.35 S = 0.38 Local Site Class: ZD Tx=0.65 sec (the building vibrates in X direction) Ty=0.50 sec (the building vibrates in Y direction) Story height is 3 meters (total height is 15 m) b: 35 m w: 30 m Uniformly Distributed Dead Load: 8 kN/m Uniformly Distributed Live Load: 4 kN/m W Plan View Y O X I (Building Importance Factor) =1.5 (Hospital Building) It is given that earthquake loads are resisted by moment resisting frames and shear wallswith high ductility, the corresponding R and D values are as follows: R (System Response Coefficient): 7 D (Excess Strength Coefficient): 2.5 Note: Use ton as the unit of mass and kN (kiloNewton) for weight. 1 ton=9.81 kN
