    1) The document provides calculations to determine the storey forces, shears, and moments for an 8-storey evacuation center in Abra, Philippines using the base shear formula from NSCP-2015. 2) The base shear is calculated to be 2,804.73 kN. Storey forces and shears are then determined. 3) The overturning moment is calculated as 48,886 kN-m. With a resisting moment of 78,000 kN-m, the factor of safety against overturning is 1.60, which is less than the required 3.00. Therefore, the structure is not safe against overturning.

    Given a proposed eight (8) storey (10 meters by 20 meters) evacuation


    center which is to be constructed in the Province of Abra (refer to photo on the
    Page 2 of 4

    site to fault distance - assume seismic source type A). It is designed under
    reinforced concrete with special moment resisting frames. Assume regular
    weight per floor area to be 10 KPa while the roof deck weighs 8 KPa per floor
    area. Regular floor to floor height is 3.20m except for the first floor being
    3.5m. Calculate the storey forces and storey shears using the procedure mentioned
    in NSCP Vol 1 or in the UBC using the latest Base Shear formula (NSCP-2015). From
    the storey shears, determine the Cantilever Moment at the base. Determine the
    factor of safety against overturning, FSOT. Is the structure safe against overturning?
    FSOT ≥ 3.00

    Ca= 0.44 * 1.068 = 0.46992

    Base Shear Computation


    Design Base Shear Formulas:
    Cv I 2.5Ca I
    V= W (208-4) <= V= W (208-5)
    RT R
    >= V= 0.11 Ca I W (208-6)
    0.8 Z Nv I
    >= V= W (208-7)
    R

    Computations

    Cv I 0.85504(1.50)
    V= W= 15600 = 2804.7307 kN
    RT 8.5(0.8393)
    2.5Ca I 2.5(0.46992)(1.50)
    V= W= 15600= 3234.1553 kN
    R 8.5
    V= 0.11 Ca I W = 0.11(0.46992) (1.50) (15600) = 1209.5740 kN

    0.8 Z Nv I
    V= 𝑊= (0.8 (0.4) (1.336) (1.5)/8.5)15600 = 1176.9374 kN
    R

    Since V = 2804.73 kN < 3234.16 kN


    > 1209.57 kN
    > 1176.94 kN, the Base shear is V = 2, 804.73 kN
    Page 4 of 4

    Since, T > 0.7secs, Ft is required to be computed and shall be subtracted from the
    base shear when distributing the storey forces.
    Ft = 0.07 * TV = 0.07*0.8396*2804.73 = 164.77 kN < 0.25V (=701.18kN) Ok!

    From the table:


    OM = 48, 886.46 kN-m

    RM = 15, 000 kN * (10m/2) = 78, 000 kN-m (Moment taken along the shorter
    building dimension since it is the more
    critical direction for overturning)

    FSOT = RM/OM

    FSOT = 78, 000/ 48, 886.46 = 1.60 < 3.0

    General Conclusion (Is the structure safe against overturning?)

    Given this Factor of Safety against Overturning (FSOT), it can be noted that the
    value is greater than unity which means that the structure is able to resist the
    overturning moment. Although having obtained this, the problem states that for the
    building to be considered safe against overturning, the FSOT should be greater than
    or equal to 3, which it is not. It is concluded therefore, that the structure is not safe
    against overturning.
