Structures and portions thereof shall, as a minimum, be designed and constructed to resist the
effects of seismic ground motions.
In this design project, Method 2 was used in determining the seismic design load applied in the
structure. In this method, earthquake which in actual is a dynamic load is translated as a static
load but with magnified magnitude.
*Buildings that are less than 10 km from the fault are vulnerable to earthquake damage.
V. Determining the Near Source Factors, and
By using the application, Tremors, which gives the distance from one location to the nearest
West Valley Fault, it was found out that the closest distance to known seismic source from
Tagaytay Southridge Estates is 8.29 km.
It was stated on the footnote of Tables 208.5 and 208.6 of NSCP 2015 that The Near-Source
Factor may be based on the linear interpolation of values for distances other than those shown
in the table.
Solving for by interpolating:
(8.29 ) (5 ) (10 ) (8.29 )
=
8.29 5 10 8.29
(8.29 ) 1.2 1 (8.29 )
=
8.29 5 10 8.29
(8.29 ) = 1.0684
