Disclaimer: The weight of the ground floor was assumed to be transferred to the frame and not to the ground itself, and thus was included in the computation. For the ground floor having slabs on fill, disregard the weight at that level.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: FAQ Q: Sir, di po ba dapat 0 kN yung sa ground floor kasi nagrerest siya sa ground? (Sir, shouldn't the weight of the ground floor disregarded since it is resting on the Ground itself?) A: More often than not, the WEIGHT OF THE GROUND FLOOR IS DISREGARDED. And thus, you are indeed correct. (0kN on the ground floor) Q: Then why did you include the weight of the ground floor in your computation, sir? A: I assumed that the weight of the ground floor rests on the structure and not on the ground (Which is very rarely considered). Obviously, the value solved here will not be equal to the base shear computed as if the ground floor weight is disregarded. But would definitely give a more conservative value.
hello po. thank you po dahil sa videos niyo naintindihan ko ng maigi ang irereport. at madali siyang niintidihan dahil na explain ng mabuti. God bless po. more videos po.
Thank you sir for the simplified solution clear and very understandable for us engr s who have low IQ tha yours Can you also give us example how to design a single simple at any floor level or at 10 th floor using the shear at that u derive
