----------------------------------------------------------------------------STEP 1: DETERMINATION OF DESIGN EARTHQUAKE
FORCES
Equivalent Static seismic forces Procedure being the simplest
method of analysis was adopted to determine the seismic forces.
Since the forces depend upon code based
fundamental period of structures with some empirical modifier it
required less computational effort.
a) The design base shear was computed as a whole, than
distributed along the height of the buildings based on simple
formulas appropriate for buildings with regular distribution of
mass and stiffness.
b) The design Lateral force obtained at each floor level was
distributed to individual Lateral Load resisting elements
depending upon floor diaphragm action.
c) In case of rigid diaphragm ( reinforced concrete monolithic
slab beam floors or those consisting of prefabricated/precast
elements with topping reinforced screed was taken as rigid
diaphragm) action, the total shear in any horizontal plane was

distributed to the various elements of Lateral force resisting,

system on the basis of relative rigidity.
Following are the major steps of Equivalent static Analysis:
SIESMIC WEIGHT CALCULATIONS:

The seismic weight of each floor was taken as its full Dead
Load plus appropriate amount of Imposed Load. While
computing the seismic weight of each floor, the weight of
columns and walls in any storey was equally distributed to
the floors above & below the storey. The weight of Live Load
for seismic calculation was taken as zero.
Dead Load and Live load at roof level

The Dead Load and the Live Load at roof level Wr consisted of
the sum of (i) Weight
of roof, (ii) Weight of walls and (iii) Weight of live load (LL)
a) Weight of roof was calculated as the product of length,
breadth and weight of the roof slab.
b) Weight of walls is calculated assuming half weight of walls at
second storey is lumped at roof.
c) Weight of live load (LL) for seismic calculation is taken as
zero.

DD and LL Load at each storey floor level:

The Dead Load and the Live Load at second storey roof level
(Wfi) where i is the ith
storey consisted of the sum of (i) Weight of floor, (ii) Weight of
walls and (iii) Weight of Live Load (LL).
a) Weight of floor was calculated as the product of length,
breadth and weight of the floor slab.
b) Weight of walls was calculated assuming half weight of walls
at ith storey and half
weight of walls at previous storey above which is lumped at
roof.
c) Live load is taken according to [IS 875 Part I].
DD and LL Load at first storey floor level:

The Dead Load and the Live Load at first storey roof level
(Wf2) consisted of the sum of
(i) Weight of floor, (ii) Weight of walls and (iii) Weight of Live
Load (LL).
a) Weight of floor was calculated as the product of length,
breadth and weight of the floor slab.
MAJOR PROJECT

b) Weight of walls was calculated assuming half weight of walls

at each storey and half
weight of walls at previous storey is lumped at roof.
Total seismic weight of building = Wr + Wfi + Wf2
TIME PERIOD CALCULATIONS
The approximate fundamental natural period of a masonry
building can be calculated
from the clause 7.6.2 of [IS 1893(Part 1):2002]2 as,
Ta = 0.09 h/d
Where,
h= height of building in m, {i.e, (first storey) + (second storey)+
(third storey) }
d= base dimension of building at the plinth level, in m, along the
considered direction of
lateral force (i.e, assuming earthquake in E-W direction).
Ah = (ZI Sa)/ (2Rg)
The total design lateral base shear (VB) along the direction of
motion is given by:VB =AhW
MAJOR PROJECT

WHERE DOES THE EARTHQUAKE FORCE

ACT?
Earthquakes force is an inertia force. It acts on each mass
particle of the structure and
acts throughout the structure and is proportional to the mass and
acceleration.
Again, in case of buildings, the floors are generally rigid in their
plane and it can be
assumed that all the points on the floor of a symmetric building
move together with same displacement and acceleration. On the
other hand, the acceleration increases along the height of the
building and different floors have different acceleration.
Therefore for the sake of convenience, we assumed
a) The mass is lumped in certain points. (At the centre of its
floors).
b) The earthquake forces are acting at these masses.
c) The mass of the half of the storey above and half of the storey
below is lumped at floor level.
d) The force Qi acting at a floor level is proportional to the
lumped mass and the acceleration.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
e) The earthquake force is increasing along the height of the

building, as the acceleration at floor level is increasing.
The total earthquake force on the building is expressed in terms

of base shear,
VB = which is equal to the sum of all floor loads Qi.
VB = ni=1 Qi.
Where n is the number of storey.
VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF BASE SHEAR TO
DIFFERENT FLOOR
LEVELS
The design Lateral base shear (VB) computed shall be
distributed along the height of
building as per the following expression:
Qi= VB Wihi / (n i=1 Wihi)
Where
Qi= design lateral force at floor i,
Wi=seismic weight of floor i ,
hi= height of floor i measured from base
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
n= number of storeys in the building is the number of levels at

which mass are located.
Thus using the above formula the following was calculated
a) Lateral Force at roof level
b) Lateral force at each storey roof level
c) Lateral force at 1st storey roof level.
Fig. (a) Seismic shear on building (b) Seismic loads (c)

Storey Shear
Distribution of Lateral forces

In order to transfer the seismic forces to the ground, there should
be a continuous load
path in the building.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
The general load path is as follows:

a) Earthquake forces, which originate in all the elements of the
building, are delivered
through the transverse wall of the building and it is bent
between the floors.
b) The lateral loads are transmitted from these transverse walls
to the side shear wall by
horizontal floor and roof diaphragms.
c) The diaphragms distribute these forces to vertical resisting
components if any which transfer the forces into the
foundation, the diaphragms must have adequate stiffness and
strength to transmit these forces.
d)The distribution of lateral forces in the masonry buildings
will depend upon the flexibility of horizontal diaphragm.
STEP 2: DETERMINATION OF WALL RIGIDITY
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. The lateral load capacity of shear wall is mainly dependent on
the in plane
resistance rather than out of plane stiffness.
2. The distribution of Lateral Load to the shear walls is based on

the relative wall rigidities if a rigid diaphragm supports the
walls and the segment of the wall deflects equally.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
3. The rigidity of shear wall is dependent on its dimensions,

modulus of Elasticity (Em) , modulus of Rigidity ( Gm) and
the support conditions.
4. The relative rigidity of shear wall elements is inversely
proportional to their deflections when loaded with a unit
horizontal force.
FACTORS AFFECTING RIGIDITY
1. Control joints are complete structural separations that break

shear wall into elements like lintel bend. The elements must
be considered as isolated members during shear wall rigidity
analysis. The number and location of control joints within the
total length of a wall may significantly affect elements
rigidities especially flexure
deformation.
2. Openings for doors, windows etc reduce the rigidity of shear

wall elements. If opening are very small, their effect on the
overall state of stress in a shear wall will become minor.
Large openings will have pronounced effect when the
openings in a shear wall become so large that the resulting
wall approaches an assembly similar to a rigid frame or a
series of elements linked by connecting beams, the walls will
be analyzed accordingly.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
Pier Analysis
In masonry structures, it is generally assumed that in one and
two storey buildings the walls may be considered cantilevered
and the segment of the walls between adjacent openings are
called piers and might be considered fixed at top and bottom,
depending upon the relative rigidness of the walls versus those
of the floor diaphragms.
The main assumptions in the analysis are (Schneider and
Dickey, 1994):
a) Rotational deformations of the portions above and below the

openings are much smaller than those of the piers between
the openings and are neglected.
b) Points of contra flexure are assumed at the midpoints of the
piers and shears are assumed to be carried among the piers
such that their top deflects by equal amount.
c) Lateral forces will be transformed to the various parallel
resisting elements in direct
proportion to their stiffness.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
Cantilever pier or wall

If the pier or wall is fixed only at the bottom and top is free to
translate and rotate, it is
considered a cantilevered wall.
When a force (P) is applied at the top of a pier , it will produce a
deflection, , c that is
the sum of the deflections due to bending moment (m ) Plus
that due to the shear (v )
Cantilever Pier or wall behavior to deflection
c = m +v
MAJOR PROJECT

m = deflection due to flexural bending

v = Deflection due to shear
P = lateral force on pier
h = height of pier
A = cross-section of pier
Em = modulus of elasticity in compression
c =P/ Emt [4(h/d)3+3(h/d)

force, P

f =P/ Emt [(h/d)3+3(h/d)]
Rigidity of fixed pier
Rf=1/ f =Emt/ [(h/d)3+3(h/d)]
a) Very squat shear wall (h/d<0.25), rigidities based on shear
deformation are reasonably accurate
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
b) For deformation height of shear wall (0.25<h/d<4.0),

including both the components of deflection
c) For high h/d ratio, the effect of shear deformation is very
small and rigidity based on flexural stiffness is reasonably
accurate ( Drydale, Hamid and Baker, 1994 ).
Method for calculating the rigidity of the wall with opening
The following steps are required for calculating the rigidity of
wall with opening:-
Assume full wall as solid calculate the deflection of the solid

wall as a cantilever, solid(c)
Take a StripA of height equal to the height of largest opening.
Calculate deflection of this strip. (strip of highest
opening(c)) .
Divide the wall in StripA into No. of segments .Assuming
each solid strip as solid calculate the deflections of all the
piers (piers(f) )
Calculate total defection of the wall with opening
(total)= solid(c)- strip+ piers(f)
The reciprocal of this value becomes relative rigidity of the
wall. [R = 1/(total)]
PROCEDURE FOLLOWED IN RIGIDITY
CALCULATION
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
a) The rigidity of the piers and solid wall are calculated by

taking solid wall as cantilever pier, the piers and strip of wall
are assumed as fixed pier.
Rigidity of cantilever pier RC = Et / [4(h/d)3+3(h/d)]
Rigidity of cantilever pier Rf = Et / [(h/d)3+3(h/d)]
b) They are then combined according to their horizontal and
vertical position.
Total Rigidity of the wall is calculated as
wall = solidwall - strip)+ piers combined
c) The north wall and south wall rigidity are calculated and then
the relative
stiffness of each wall is calculated.
North shear wall =Rwall(north) / (Rwall(north)
+Rwall(south))
South shear wall = Rwall(south) / (Rwall(north)
+Rwall(south)

STEP 3: DETERMINATION OF TORSIONAL FORCES

To calculate the shear forces due to torsion, first the location of
the centre of mass and the centre of rigidity was calculated.
LOCATION OF THE CENTRE OF MASS
1. First the respective weights (W) of walls (N-wall, S-wall, Ewall and W-wall) and Roof Slab were found out in KN.
2. The X-coordinate and Y-coordinates (in m) were found out.
Then for each item (Roof Slab, N-Wall, S-wall, E-wall, and
W-wall) the statical
moments about a point (WX and WY
in KN-m) were calculated using the respective weights of

walls as forces in the moment summation.
3. The cumulative of W, WX and WY were found out.
The centre of Mass (XCM and YCM ) were found out using
the formulae
XCM = WX/ W
YCM = WY/ W
Because of symmetrical layout of the building, the centre of
mass occurs near the centre of building.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
LOCATION OF THE CENTRE OF RIGIDITY
1. First the relative stiffness (Rx and Ry ) of the walls (N-wall,

S-wall, E-wall and W-wall) were found out.
2. The X-coordinate and Y-coordinates (in m) were found out.
3. Then for each item (N-Wall, S-wall, E-wall, and W-wall) the
statical moments about a point (YRx and XRy) were
calculated using the relative stiffness of the walls as forces in
the moment summation. . The stiffness of the slab was not
considered in the determination of centre of rigidity.
4. The cumulative of Rx, Ry , X Ry and YRx were found
out.
The centre of Rigidity (XCR and YCR ) were found out using
the formulae
XCR = XRy / Ry
YCR = YRx / Rx
Torsional Eccentricity
Torsional Eccentricity in y- direction:
Eccentricity between centre of mass and centre of rigidity
ey = YCM YCR
MAJOR PROJECT

Adding minimum 5% accidental eccentricity =(0.05Y)

Total eccentricity = ey +(0.05Y)
Torsional eccentricity in x- direction
Eccentricity between centre of mass and centre of rigidity
ex= XCM - XCR
Adding minimum 5% accidental eccentricity
(0.05X)
Total eccentricity = ex +(0.05X
TORSIONAL MOMENT
The torsional moment due to E-W seismic force rotate the
building in y direction.
Hence, MTX = Vx Cy
Similarly if considered seismic force in N-S direction
MTy= Vy Cx
Vy = Vx because Sa/g is constant value of 2.5 for Time period
0.11T.55

DISTRIBUTION OF FORCES IN NORTH AND SOUTH

SHEAR WALLS
STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED
1. Since we are considering the seismic force only in E- W
direction, the walls in N-S direction will resist the forces and
the walls in E-W direction were ignored.
2. Computation of Relative Stiffness (Rx )
3. Calculation of distance of considered wall from centre of
rigidity (dy =2Y- ey ) in m, Rxdy and Rx dy for both N-wall
and S-wall.
4. Negative torsional shear was neglected.
5. Calculation of distribution of direct shear (KN)
Direct shear force from North-wall = Vx RN
Direct shear force from South-wall =VxRS
Calculation of Torsional shear force (KN)
Torsional force in North-wall = (Rx dy )/ (Rx dy2) (Vx ey)
Torsional force in South-wall = (Rx dy )/ (Rx dy2) (Vx ey)

2. Calculation of distance of considered wall from centre of
rigidity (dx =2X- ex ) in m, Rydx and Ry dx2 for both E-wall
and W-wall.
3. Calculation of distribution of direct shear force (KN)
Direct shear force from East-wall =VyRE
Direct shear force from West-wall = Vy RW
Calculation of Torsional shear force:
Torsional force in East-wall = (Ry dx )/ (Ry dx2) (Vy ex)
Torsional force in West-wall = (Ry dx )/ (Ry dx2) (Vy
ex)
STEP 4: DETERMINATION INCREASE IN AXIAL LOAD

DUE TO OVERTURNING
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
In shear wall analysis the principal forces are

1. In plane shear (direct + torsional)
2. In plane moment (in plane shear height of pier )
3. Dead & Live Load carried by the pier.
4. Lateral forces from Wind or Earthquakes which create severe
overturning moments on buildings. If the overturning
moment is great enough it may overcome the dead weight of
the structure & may cause tension at the end of the piers of
shear walls. It may also induce high compression forces in
the pier of walls that may increase the axial load in addition
to the dead load and live load.
The increase in axial load in piers due to overturning
moments was evaluated as below:
Overturning moment at ith floor level
(Movt ) = Vr ( hi+hi+1) + Vi+1 hi
(where i is the floor level and Vi is the seismic force at ith
floor level)
Total overturning moment on pier in the first storey :Movt =(Movt)+(total V) ( distance to the second floor level
from critical level of the pier in the ith storey)
Let at the sill height of the pier = hir
MAJOR PROJECT

Thus the axial load on a pier due to overturning change to Povt

is
Povt = (Movt ) (liAi)/In
Where,

ith storey to the
centroid of the pier
= ni=1 (liAi)/ Ai
Where,
Ai= cross-sectional area of pier in question
In= Moment of Inertia of net wall section in first storey
DISTRIBUTION OF LATERAL FORCES
Lateral force at a height hi = VNX Wihi/ ( ni=1 Wihi)
Using the above formula the following were calculated for both
North and South shear wall

Movt = Vr (hi +hi+1) + Vi+1hi + (total V) (distance of ith
floor level from critical level of the pier in the (i-1) storey)

Where a= Ptotal (Pd+ PL+ Povt) / (width of pier (d) t)
b= M/(td2/6)
Fa= Permissible compressive stress=2.5 N/mm2
Fb=Permissible bending stress=2.5+0.252.5=3.125(as per IS
:1905)
STEP 7: DESIGN OF SHEAR WALL FOR SHEAR
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
In load bearing masonry buildings, the walls, which carry

gravity loads also acts as shear walls to resist lateral load. The
structural walls parallel to lateral load and subjected to inplane
(shear) forces and bending are called shear walls. Shear in
building is resisted by providing the bands or bond beams. The
bands represent a horizontal framing system, which transfer the
horizontal shear induced by the earthquakes from the floors to
shear (structural) walls. It also connects all the structural walls
to improve the integral action. In combination with vertical
reinforcement, it improves the strength, ductility and energy
dissipation capacity of masonry walls.

CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Masonry buildings are the most common type of construction
used for all housing around the world. But the post earthquake
survey has proved that the masonry buildings are most
vulnerable to and have suffered maximum damages in the past
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
earthquakes. A survey of the affected areas in past earthquakes

demonstrated that the major losses of lives were due to collapse
of low-strength masonry buildings. Due to the brittleness of the
masonry material, lack of ductility, strength and locally used
traditional material in a traditional manner without the
earthquake-resistant features are the main causes of collapse of
building during earthquake.
The present work is a step towards with regard to illustrate a
procedure for seismic analysis and design of masonry building.
The procedure has been presented by considering each clause as
mentioned in IS 1905 and IS 4326:1993 with the help of an
example of a one-storied residential masonry building
CONCLUSION DRAWN:
1. The best shapes of earthquake resistant buildings are regular
shapes and preferably with two axes of symmetry. This
ensures the centre of gravity and rigidity will be the same or
close to each other resulting in minimization of torsion
moment in building.
MAJOR PROJECT
DIPLOMA
2. Provision of bonds at different level increases the number of

lateral force and thereby reduces the effect of seismic forces
remarkably.
3. Provision of vertical reinforcement in flexural walls helps to
resist the moments generated due to seismic force. This in
turn helps in safe distribution of the lateral load to the shear
walls.
4. Vertical steel at walls especially at corners, at openings of
shear wall resists the compression and flexure forces helps in
preventing sliding or collapse of building.
5.
6. A number of construction aspects are required to ensure the

box action. Firstly,connections between the walls should be
good. This can be achieved by (a) ensuring good interlocking
of the masonry courses at the junctions, and (b) employing
horizontal hooks, at various levels, at intersection of the
orthogonal walls.
7. The sizes of openings need to be kept small and preferably

closer to the centre. The smaller the opening the larger is the
resistance offered by the wall.
