HOW TO DETERMINE THE COEFFICIENT OF OVER STRENGTH AND DUCTILITY CAPACITY, R

The coefficient R in computing for base shear in static force method represents the inherent over-strength and global ductility capacity of lateral-force-resisting systems. 

There are 4 tables for this value (Table 208-11), categorized with the different materials used for the frames - for concrete, steel, masonry, and wood. Different tables contain the different seismic-force resisting system namely:

1. Bearing-wall systems. Structural systems where building loads (dead and live looads) are transferred to the ground through walls. 

2. Building frame systems. Structural systems with complete space frames to support vertical loads. 

Note: The value of R for building frame systems is greater than that assigned to bearing wall systems, thus the former is more desirable from a cost-efficient design perspective.

3. Moment-resisting frames. Rectilinear Structural assemblages of beams and columns with beams rigidly connected to the columns.

4. Dual systems. Structural systems where a complete frame provides support from gravity loads. Lateral loads support is provided by moment -resisting frame ad braced frames of shear walls.

5. Cantilevered column building frames. Seismic force-resisting systems whereby lateral loads are resisted by columns acting as vertical cantilevers.

6. Shear-wall frame interaction systems. Structural systems with combination of shear walls and frames to provide the required stiffness and strength in withstanding loads in high rise buildings.

NSCP uses moment-resisting frames, particularly special moment resisting frames. The other two kids of these kinds of frames are ordinary and intermediate.
  • Ordinary moment resisting frames do not meet special detailing requirements for ductile behavior.
  • Intermediate moment resisting frames are concrete or steel frames designed in accordance to section 8.3 in BNBC 93.
  • Special moment resisting frame is specially detailed to provide ductile behavior complying with seismic requirements provided in BNBC 93.
NSCP specifies using Special moment resisting frames for analysis and study on lateral loads.
