Earthquake Load Analysis:
Introduction to NSCP 2010 Specifications – Design Basis
208.4.1 Basis for Design
The procedures and the limitations for the design of structures shall be
determined considering seismic zoning, site characteristics, occupancy, configuration,
structural system and height in accordance with this section. Structures shall be
designed with adequate strength to withstand the lateral displacements induced by the
Design Basis Ground Motion, considering the inelastic response of the structure and the
inherent redundancy, overstrength and ductility of the lateral force-resisting system.
The minimum design strength shall be based on the Design Seismic Forces
determined in accordance with the static lateral force procedure of Section 208.5,
except as modified by Section 208.6.5.4
Where strength design is used, the load combinations of Section 203.3 shall
apply. Where Allowable Stress Design is used, the load combinations of Section 203.4
shall apply.
Allowable Stress Design may be used to evaluate sliding or overturning at the
soil-structure interface regardless of the design approach used in the design of the
structure, provided load combinations of Section 203.4 are utilized.
SECTION 502 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
502.3 Design Basis
502.3.1 Required Strength
The required strength of structural members and connections shall be
determined by structural analysis for the appropriate load combinations as stipulated in
Section 502.2.
Design by elastic, inelastic or plastic analysis is permitted. Provisions for inelastic
and plastic analysis are as stipulated in Appendix 1, Inelastic Analysis and Design. The
provisions for moment redistribution in continuous beams in Appendix A, Section A-1.3
are permitted for elastic analysis only.
