Appendix C - Seismic Design Parameters BNBC 2020 Commentary

The document provides seismic design parameters for alternative method of base shear calculation according to Bangladesh National Building Code 2020 (BNBC 2020). It includes 5 tables that specify: 1) spectral response acceleration parameters SS and S1 for different seismic zones, 2) site coefficients Fα for different seismic zones and soil types, 3) site coefficients F for different seismic zones and soil types, 4) spectral response acceleration parameter SDS for different seismic zones and soil types, 5) spectral response acceleration parameter SD1 for different seismic zones and soil types. The parameters are used to calculate seismic loads for structural design of buildings in different seismic zones and soil conditions in Bangladesh.
