Code Name Regulations for Earthquakes-Resistant Design of Buildings in Egypt Issued by - Revision - Horizontal Base Shear V= C,W, where C, is the seismic design coefficient and W is the total seismic weight. A PROCEDURE” for evaluating each of these quantities is given in the sections that follow. Seismic design coefficient C, ‘The seismic design coefficient C, shall be determined from the following formu: Z = seismic ZONING factor I= importance factor 'S = structural system type factor M= material factor R= tisk factor Q = construction quality factor C,= shall not be taken as greater than 4.8%ZIMQ, nor less than 0.02 for sites with seismic ZONE® factors greater than zero. Seismic ZONING “ factor Z The seismic ZONING ® factor Z is given by Z= ACF A= standard value for horizontal acceleration ratio (expressed as faction of the acceleration of gravity g) to be determined from Table | and the seismic ZONING” map shown in Fig. 1 F = foundation soil factor to be determined from Fig, 2 Importance Factor I Values for the importance factor I are given in Table 14.3, as fimetions of buildings use. Structural system-type factor S hitpisee enten go|pine¥seismc_design_codelegyeegyothimét orranean Eat ‘Values for the structural system-type factor S must be determined separately for each direction of the building. Unless more precise values are determined, the recommended values for this factor that are given in Table 2 may be used. ipliisee beter gojpneliseismic_ design codelenypuegyet hint
