Spreadsheet to Calculate Seismic Forces in SAP2000 Modeling

This type of spreadsheet is used to work out the forces to put in model in SAP2000.

The spreadsheet provides the following:-

• Loads for structural elements
• Weigh measurement of the building
• Summary Sheet metrado weight
• Connect with these forces to the spreadsheet seismic forces, seismic parameters like Peruvian standard
• Estimate seismic force distribution with level, applicable in the center of gravity of the model in SAP2000
• Computation of center of mass
• Computation of eccentricity as well as torque, to put in SAP2000
• Estimate loads circulated over beams to put in modeled SAP2000

The Excel spreadsheets are available in both Spanish and English languages and a model SAP2000 is included in the file.
