Seismic Design of Structures - Finding Seismic Criteria using ASCE 7-16 (part 1 of 3)

Team Kestava back at it again with a big 3 part structural engineering lesson on seismic design of structures! We go step by step through the ASCE 7-16 and IBC just as a professional structural engineer would when designing a building for seismic lateral loads. We go through ALL the seismic load calculations in this one!

There is nothing missed in this lesson, we start from the very beginning and work our way through a full theoretical building design. We explain:

seismic design category
site class
S1
Ss
SD1
SDs
base shear
lateral seismic force
vertical seismic force
and SO MUCH MORE

sit back, relax, get your notepad, and lets dive into a great lesson on earthquake engineering.

A little question from an Italian Engineer, do you proununce ASCE 7:16 as "ASKI" or as "ASSHI"? I use the spelling A-S-C-E (as you do on the start of the video) but there is another way to pronounce it, correct?

Thank you for your commitment on teaching us

[reidthesteed]

Great videos Rich. Thanks for the great explanations. Can you please go into detail on the "ground motion hazard analysis" referred to in Section 11.4.8? It appeared in your example that this additional analysis should have been required since your Site Class = D and S1 > 0.2. Maybe I'm missing something though. Anyways, I find the discussion on Site Specific Ground Motion procedures in Chapter 21 pretty confusing and looking for some guidance on how to navigate through it. Thanks!

I did a thumbs up because your voice sounds enough like mine for me to understand you. I am so grateful for a fellow American "accent!"

[mukhalladmurad]

Thanks for clear video
Please is there any guide or examples about he can apply torsional irregularity when we use response spectrum.
In dynamic analysis how we can do the combinations

[deeppatel]

Great video! One question, if the Sm1 and SMS values were given on the ATC website, do you recommend just taking those?

[tommartin]

As a new engineer this guide was so helpful! much appreciated

[mehdisajjadi]

thank you for sharing this, i really needed someone to explain it to me 🙏

[mehdi.sajadi]

very well explained, thank you very much

[twigsfloat]

Excellent teaching! Love the pace, it's very helpful. Thank you! In the ATC website and U.S. Seismic Design Maps website, Sm1 and Sd1 are given as null per section 11.4.8 for this address. But we need Sd1 to calculate Csmax. Per 11.4.8 a motion hazard analysis is needed. What's going on here? :)

[TheToufikzeidan]

I don’t typically comment but this was really well done. Thank you.

[roshaanshamim]

Is this hazards.atcouncil.org gives values only for America and Canada only? I'm trying for different areas but always having error for other countries.

Addenda says to use linear interpolation instead of straight line - good video

[syriandamascene]

Fantastic video. Thank you sir. Awesome job.

[mohdshadab-ugut]

Thanks for your kind information.
I have a question
as per data
site location YANBU, SAUDI ARABIA
my ss=25g, and s1=6g, on the behalf of these mys SD1 AND SDS go more value,
Is these value is acceptable.
sir, i can send you more details i want to give suggestion. kindly request...

Do you know how should we seismic design rigid basement according to ACI for the building which has towers, podium and basement floors?

[ВладиславДанько-ыс]

Beautiful guide! A little qestion: what resources do we typically use to determine wether the site is located near an active fault? I ask 'cause the code in numerous instances reffers to the proximity of the fault line and futher restrictions regarding that. So how do we know where faultlines are?

[mienge]

Hi please do example how to find drift at the very top story by hand calculation.Thanks.

[sohaibchaudhry]

I needed to ask what will be the value of Hn in case of single story building (not gable), will the Hn value be = total height or Hn/2 ?

[imanmansouri]

Seems like TL= 6 sec, not 16, can you please confirm?
