IBC SEISMIC: Eqn 16-28
IBC SEISMIC: Eqn 16-28
(OP)
hey All,
I am trying to find the seismic loads of a flat roof of a tank. In the IBC 2000 Code, equation 16-28 states that
E = p*Qe + 0.2*Sds*D
I am confused about the Qe part of the equuation. How do I calculate the Qe. Do I just multiply the horizontal acceleration and the total mass of the roof.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karthic

You should do a search for this in previous threads. I think I have seen this topic before and it was explained better than I could now.
