1. Building Description:
20-story office building in Los Angeles, CA has a dual moment resisting frame system of reinforced
concrete structural walls and reinforced concrete moment frames. Typical floor plan and an elevation are
shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The building is square in plan with five 28-ft bays totaling 142 ft – 3 inches out to out in each direction.
Story heights are 23 ft from the first to second floors and 13 feet for the remaining 19 stories; the overall
building height is 270 feet.
Typical floor framing consists of 4½ inches thick light weight concrete slabs, 12 x 18½ beams at 9 ft- 4in
o.c. and 18 x 24 girders; interior columns are 30 inches square for the full height of the building.
Girders at the periphery of the floor are 27 x 36 and columns are 36 inches square for the full height of the
building.
A 28 ft x 84 ft x 13 ft high penthouse with equipment loading at the roof level
A small mezzanine floor at the first story
1.1 Material:
Concrete Strength – fc´ = 4,000 psi above 3rd
floor (light weight 115 pcf)
fc´ = 5,000 psi below 3rd
floor (normal weight)
Reinforcement - fy = 60,000 psi
1.2 Design Loading:
Partition including miscellaneous dead load = 20 psf
Floor Live load = 50 psf (reducible based on tributary area)
1.3 Story weight:
Roof = wrf =2800 kips
Floor 16–20 wi = 2800 kips
Floor 9 – 15 wi = 2850 kips
Floor 3 – 8 wi = 2900 kips
Floor 2 - w2 = 4350 kips
Total building weight Σwi = 58,500 kips

2.0 OUTLINE OF PRELIMINARY DESIGN PROCEDURE:
2.1 LOADING
2.1.1 Develop seismic loading based on ASCE7-05 Chapter 11 and 12.
Establish response modification factor R, deflection amplification factor Cd and overstrength factor Ω0
Establish mapped maximum considered earthquake spectral response acceleration for short and long
periods Ss and Sl from USGS data base
Calculate design spectral response acceleration SDs and SDl
Establish a standard response spectrum for design reference
Calculate fundamental period Ta using (Eq. 12.8-7)
Calculate seismic response coefficient, Cs
Calculate seismic base shear V
Calculate vertical distribution of story seismic forces
Calculate building overturning
Distribute seismic forces to structural walls and building frames accounting for accidental torsion
Approximate building deflection (any suggestions without doing computer run?)
2.1.2 Design of structural wall (shear wall)
Obtain seismic base shear for one wall pier from horizontal distribution
Calculate required seismic shear strength at lower story
Design wall thickness or guess at wall thickness and calculate nominal shear strength base on 8√fc´
Calculate seismic overturning moment by proportion of building overturning or from story force
distribution
Calculate gravity loads dead and live with the approximate loading combinations
Base on the calculated seismic OTM, obtain the approximate area of tension reinforcement
Check for requirement of boundary element based on Section 21.7.6 (ACI 318)
Establish P0, Pb, Mb, Mn to draw an interaction diagram based on φ = 1
Based on Pu/φ and Mu/φ, check that design is within the interaction diagram envelope
Check for termination of boundary reinforcement requirement
Calculate confinement reinforcement for longitudinal boundary rebar
For upper stories, establish shear strength for reduce wall thicknesses and the minimum reinforcement
requirements
2.1.3 Design of special moment frame
Obtain seismic base shear for one perimeter frame from horizontal distribution (no less than 25% of total
building shear)
Distribute story seismic shear to column based on portal method (or other acceptable method)
Calculate seismic axial force and moments in end column and first interior column
Calculate gravity loads dead and live axial loads
Calculate gravity load moments based on approximate coefficients
Obtain combined loading combinations for girders and columns
For girder design, calculate minimum required flexural strength and reinforcement
Calculated required shear strength based on probable moment strength of girder, and design shear reinf.
For column (design end column and first interior column), design longitudinal reinforcement such that the
column moment strength satisfies equation (21-1.)
Calculate probable moment strength of column ends
Calculate required shear strength
Design transverse confinement reinforcement
Check joint shear strength requirement

Ash = 0.3 (sbcfc´ /fyt)[(Ag/Ach) - 1] (21-3)
= 1.17 Sq. in.
Or Ash = 0.09 sbc fc´ /fyt (21-4)
= 1.55 Sq. in. Say OK
Max spacing s0 = 4 + (14 - hx)/3 (21-5)
= 6 in
