Seismic Analysis — Equivalent Static Method

As per IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016  |  Clause 6.4, 7.6  |  Table 2, 6, 7, 8

Ah = (Z/2) × (I/R) × (Sa/g)     Av = (2/3) × Ah
1. Seismic Parameters
Seismic Zone (Table 2)
Z = 0.24
Importance Factor — I (Table 8)
I = 1.0
Structural System / Response Reduction Factor R (Table 9)
R = 5
Damping Ratio (Cl. 6.4.5)

Calculated Ta (codal)
sec

Note: As per IS 1893:2016 Cl. 7.6.2 — Ta from 3D analysis should not exceed 1.25× the codal value for regular buildings.

Time Period T (from software / analysis)
sec

Note: T entered manually from 3D model / dynamic analysis. Ensure compliance with Cl. 7.6.2 cap if applicable.

Spectral Acceleration Coefficient (Sa/g) for selected soil

Design Horizontal Seismic Coefficient
Ah = (Z/2)×(I/R)×(Sa/g)
Design Vertical Seismic Coefficient
Av = (2/3) × Ah
Design Horizontal Seismic Coefficient (Ah)
Design Vertical Seismic Coefficient (Av)

Ah at same T for all Soil Types:
Ah — Type I (Rock)
Ah — Type II (Medium soil)
Ah — Type III (Soft soil)
4. Response Spectrum — Sa/g vs T (IS 1893:2016, Table 8)

Curves shown at selected damping ratio. Vertical marker = design time period T. Shaded region = plateau (peak spectral acceleration).


5. Ah vs T — All Soil Types

Ah curves for Zone, I, R, damping selected above. Vertical marker = design T.
