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.
