Static Lateral Force Procedure For Non Building
PROCEDURE FOR:
NON BUILDING STRUCTURES
NON-BUILDING STRUCTURE
• include all self-supporting structures other than buildings that carry gravity loads and resist
the effects of earthquakes.
• shall be designed to provide the strength required to resist the displacements induced by
the minimum lateral forces specified in this section.
WEIGHT (W):
• he weight, W, for non-building structures shall include all dead loads as defined for
buildings in Section 208.6.1.
• For purposes of calculating design seismic forces in non- building structures, W shall also
include all normal operating contents for items such as tanks, vessels, bins and piping.
208.8.2 LATERAL FORCE
Exception:
Intermediate moment-resisting frames (IMRF) may be used in Seismic Zone 4 for non-building structures in
Occupancy Categories III and IV if (1) the structure is less than 15 m in height and (2) the value R used in reducing
calculated member forces and moments does not exceed 2.8.
208.8.3 RIGID STRUCTURES
• Rigid structures (those with period T less than 0.06 s) and their anchorages shall be
designed for the lateral force obtained from Equation 208-24.

provisions in Section 208.5 with the following additions and exceptions:
1. The factors R and Ω0 , shall be as set forth in Table 208-12. The total design base shear
determined in accordance with Section 208.5.2 shall not be less than the following:
