SEISMIC BASE SHEAR, DIAPHRAGM LOAD AND ELEMENTS' LATERAL FORCE SPREADSHEET
A Spreadsheet/Program That Gives ALL Required Seismic Loads to Design the Structure and Elements of Structures for Multistory Buildings Per ASCE 7-22
Static seismic base shear including Redundancy Factor
Seismic Design Category Determination and Automatic Site Coefficients Interpolation
Lateral force Fx, story shear Vx and overturning moment on each level/story
Diaphragm load Fpx on each level
Component lateral force Fp on each level based on ductility reduction factor
Vertical seismic forces
Out of plan lateral design forces for walls and required anchorage forces
Structural wall's anchorage forces to flexible roof or rigid floor diaphragm
The spreadsheet can be used for any number of stories. Main assumptions, input descriptions and example problem verification are included in the package. The main sheet is not protected so it can be modified to the user's need. In addition, IBCPRO determines Seismic Design Category per ASCE 7 MINIMUM DESIGN LOADS and ASSOCIATED CRITERIA for BUILDINGS and OTHER STRUCTURES. New features include built-in drop down input and input guides provided through validation box.
