The method of calculations applied in the report is based from Section

207.5.12.2.2 (Low-Rise Building) which gives the following equation for design
wind pressure

p=q h [ ( GC pf ) (G C pi )]
Where

q h =velocity pressure evaluated at mean roof height h using exposure defined

in section 207.5.6.3

GC pf =external pressure coefficient from Figure 207-10

GC pi =internal pressure coefficient from Figure 207-5.

Assuming that the roof angle is 0, the mean roof height of the structure is taken
to be the full height of the building which is 13.5 m.
The velocity pressure is calculated by using the following formula

q h=47.3 x 106 K z K zt K d V 2 I w
q h=47.3 x 106 ( 0.785 ) ( 1 ) ( 0.85 ) ( 2002 ) ( 1.15 ) =1.45 kPa
The width of pressure coefficient a is the smaller of 0.4h or 10% of least
horizontal dimension but not less than 0.9 m or 4% of least horizontal dimension:
a= 0.4(16.7)= 6.68 m
a= 0.1(30)=3 m (governs)

A. Seismic Parameters

1. Soil profile type: SC Very Dense Soil and Soft Rock (based on
Quezon City geology of Adobe bedrock)
2. Seismic source type: Source type A (West Valley Fault)
3. Seismic Source: West Valley Fault
4. Distance of structure from seismic source: < 5 km
5. Near Source Factor, Na: 1.2
6. Near Source Factor, Nv: 1.6
7. Seismic coefficient, Ca: 0.48 (=0.40Na )
8. Seismic coefficient, CV: 0.896
9. Seismic Zone Factor, Z: 0.40
10. Seismic importance factor, I: 1.0 (standard occupancy)
11. Seismic force amplification factor: 8.0 (moment-resisting frames)
B. Lateral Static Force Procedure
1. Dead Load for Each Story
2. Period and Base Shear of the Structure
Under Section 208.4.8.2, the static force procedure may be used for the
structure being designed.
The total design base shear V must be determined as defined by equation
208-4 in Section 208.5.2.1.

V=

Cv I
W
RT

Where W=2135 kN as determined from the dead loads of the structure

The period T is computed by using either of the 2 methods discussed in
Section 208.5.2.2.
Using Method A, where

T =Ct (hn )0.75 ,

T= ()()0.75= seconds

Now, the base shear may be computed

V=

0.32 ( 1.6 )( 1 )
(2842.39 )=491.66 kN
8 ( 0.37 )

Which should not exceed

V=

2.5 Ca I
2.5 ( 0.32 x 1.2 ) (1 )
W=
( 2842.39 )=341.09 kN
R
8

Obviously, the second V controls.

Next, the base shear should not be less than the following:

V =0.11C a IW=0.11 ( .32 x 1.2 )( 1 ) ( 2842.39 )=120.06 kN

V=

0.8 Z N v I
0.8 ( 0.4 ) ( 1.6 ) ( 1 )
W=
( 2842.39 )=181.91 kN
R
8

Hence, the base shear is taken as 341.09 kN

3. Vertical Distribution of Force
According to equation 208-15 of Section 208.5.5, the vertical distribution of the
base shear along the structure height is expressed as

F x=

(V F t ) w x h x
n

w i hi
i=1

Where Ft is taken as zero since T is less than 0.75.
