Response Spectrum Using El centro Ground Motion

All structural design building codes have design response spectra. In this video you will learn how this was made using just excel. However, in the code, ductility factor is incorporated such that base shear from earthquake is reduced. This video however shows pseudo acceleration response spectra which is required prior to doing the inelastic design response spectra. Download excel here.

SEISMIC DESIGN MANUAL

NSCP code is patterned from UBC 1997 of USA. SEAOC is an organization of structural engineers in California USA that is similar to ASEP. This manual is made by SEAOC who is in charge also of seismic provisions in UBC 1997. Reading this and its commentary will help you learn Seismic Design intent of NSCP.

EBOOK on Seismic Analysis and Design of RC Building

I created an ebook for beginners wanting to learn Seismic Analysis and Design of RC Building Using STAAD and Spreadsheet.

Feel free to download draft copy of this..just send a message. FREE EBOOK

DESIGN OFSTRUCTURE USING STAAD AND SPREADSHEET

Design and analysis of structure is normally done in the following procedure:

1. Setting up Design criteria
2. Modeling of structure in STAAD
3. Adding loads in structure
4. Design of Gravity Members
1. One way slab
2. Two way slab
3. Intermediate Beam
5. Design of Seismic resisting Members
1. Girder
2. Column
6. Design of Foundation
7. Compiling the result in a structural design report for submission in city hall.

PART 12- DESIGN OF ISOLATED FOOTING USING EXCEL FROM STAAD RESULT

This video shows how to design an isolated footing using excel from load result in staad.

This video below also shows isolated footing design using RCDC and verified with spreadsheet.

PART 5-GENERATING AUTOLOAD COMBINATION AND VERIFYING STAAD RESULT WITH SPREADSHEET

This shows how important the ff:

1. Defining load cases type will help you generate autoload combination according to your specified code.
2. Seismic weight depends on what dead load or mass you specified on the seismic definition.
3. Spreadsheet verification of seismic base shear accoring to NSCP/UBC 1997.
