1. Stiffness Irregularity – Soft Storey
A soft storey is one in which the lateral
stiffness is less than 70% of that in the 208.4.8.3
storey above or less than 80 percent of Item 2
the average stiffness of the three stories
above.

2. Weight (Mass) Irregularity
Mass Irregularity shall be considered to
exist where the effective mass of any
208.4.8.3
storey is more than 150% of the
Item 2
effective mass of an adjacent storey. A
roof that is lighter than the floor below
need not be considered

3. Vertical Geometric Irregularity
Vertical Geometric Irregularity shall be
considered to exist where the horizontal
208.4.8.3
dimension of the lateral-force-resisting
Item 2
system in any storey is more than 130%
of that in an adjacent storey. One-storey
penthouses need not to be considered

5. Discontinuity In Capacity-Weak Storey
Irregularity
A weak storey is one in which the storey
strength is less than 80% of that in the
208.4.9.1
storey above. The storey strength is the
total strength of all seismic-resisting
elements sharing the storey for the
direction under consideration.

2. Re-Entrant Corner Irregularity
Plan configurations of a structure and
its lateral-force-resisting system
contain re-entrant corners, where both 208.7.2.7
projections of the structure beyond a Item 6 and 7
re-entrant corner are greater than
15% of the plan dimension of the
structure in the given direction

Diaphragms with abrupt
discontinuities or variations in stiffness,
including those having cutout or open
208.7.2.7
areas greater than 50% of the gross
Item 6
enclosed area of the diaphragm, or
changes in effective diaphragm
stiffness of more than 50% from one
storey to the next.

The vertical lateral-load-resisting
elements are not parallel to or

symmetric about the major orthogonal
axes of the lateral force-resisting
systems
Where the value of Ca is based on table 208-7 for the soil profile type.
When the soil properties are not known in sufficient detail to determine the soil
profile type, type Sd shall be used in Seismic Zone 4, and type Se shall be used in
Seismic Zone 2. In Seismic Zone 4, the Near-Source Factor, Na, need not to be
greater than 1.2 if none of the following structural irregularities are present:
1. Type 1, 4, or 5 of table 208-9
2. Type 1 or 4 of table 208-10
where;
The total design base shear need not exceed the following:
The total design base shear shall not be less than the following:
In addition, for Seismic Zone 4, the total base shear shall also not be less than the
following:
I. Method A:
For all buildings, the value of T maybe approximated from the following equation:
The values of represent any lateral force distributed approximately in accordance with
the principles of equations. 208-15, 208-16, and 208-17 or any other rational
distribution. The elastic deflections, , shall be calculated using the applied lateral forces,
.
The value of T form Method B shall not exceed a value 30 percent greater than the value
of T obtained from Method A in Seismic Zone 4, and 40 percent in Seismic Zone 2.
The concentrated force Ft at the top, which is in addition to Fn, shall be determined from
the equation:
Ft need not exceed 0.25V and maybe considered as zero where T Is 0.7seconds or less.
At each level designated as x, the force Fx shall be applied over the area of the
building in accordance with the mass distribution at that level. Structural displacements and
design seismic forces shall be calculated as the effect of forces Fx and Ft applied at the
appropriate levels above the base.
Where:
E = earthquake load on an element of the structure resulting from the combination
of the horizontal component, Eh, and the vertical component, Ev.
Eh = the earthquake load due to the base shear, V, as set forth in section 208.5.2
or the design lateral force, Fp, as set forth in section 208.9
Em = estimated maximum earthquake force that can be developed in the structure
as set forth in section 208.6.1, and used in the design of specific elements of the structure,
as specifically identified in this section.

208.6.1 EARTHQUAKE LOADS
Ev = the load effect resulting from the vertical component of the earthquake
ground motion and is equal to an addition of 0.5CaID to the dead load effect D, for
strength design, and may be taken as zero in Allowable stress design.
Ωo = the seismic force amplification factor that is required to account for structural
overstrength, as set forth in section 208.4.10.1
ρ = Reliability and redundancy factor as given by the following equation:
where:
rmax = the max. element-storey shear ratio. For a given direction of
loading, the element-storey shear ratio of the design storey shear in the most heavilty
loaded single element divided by the total design storey shear.
In seismic zone 4, PΔ need not to be considered when the storey drift ratio does not
exceed 0.02/R.
208.6.5.1 Calculated
Calculated storey drift using ΔM shall not exceed 0.025 times the storey height for
structures having a fundamental period of less than 0.70 sec. For structures having a fundamental
period of 0.70 sec or greater, the calculated storey drift shall not exceed 0.20 times the storey
height.
