Earthquake Considerations
Site is in Westland rIverside, Nairobi
Zone VII is used a per Loupekine's seismic zoning map of Kenya
Usage adopted for classfications is class A - apartment > 4 floors
Structure type is class 1 & flexible is adopted
Structure will be on a hard rock , as per the exisitng strata
From table 2 'C' = 0.028
Base shear 'F' = 0.028W = 0.028 x 48152.69 = 1,348.28kN
ft = 0.004F(hn/Ds)
= 0.004(1348.28)(32.8/9.3) = 67.08 kN
ft < 0.15F = 0.15x 1348.28 = 202.24kN o.k
(F- ft) = 1281.2kN
