What is Seismic Base Shear

This video shows What is Seismic Base Shear. Base shear can be defined as the maximum lateral force that will occur due to seismic ground motion at the base of a structure. When earthquakes load acts, the structure starts to vibrate, loading been transferred from soil to base of the structure. This base shear has been distributed to different floors of the building, as the height of the building increases more load acts on the top stories of the building. Therefore it is necessary to increase the stiffness of the building in high rise buildings. For more details please watch the full video.

excellent video.. even understood to people from non civil engineering background

How to know if its necessary to design shearwall or not. Especially 3-5storey only. Tnx

[@mukaraamamin8333]

Great sir

[@TuanNguyen-uq8gz]

Can you explain why the force is increasing when it goes higher floors for the seismic force? Thank you.

I would like to study mining engineering, but I don't know the scope of that genre.. can you please tell me about this..

[@zian.2493]

Sir did u mean base shear occurs at base of structure?what specific location?is it in the bottom of footing or natural grade line of the ground?

[@ashokuppunasi4042]

Sir plz make video's from rehabilitation and retrofitting of buildings

[@SajjadAhmad-gw7sp]

Sir try to come with more technical numericals....that are helpful

[@vijay_sawant]

thank you

[@robbiecrawford4345]

Great explanation❤

[@civilengineering94]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SajjadAhmad-gw7sp]

Sir u are best

[@sinethheang1959]

thanks

Welcome

[@prajaktabhange1207]

Base shear of building should be more or less

[@bestvideos8844]

I think the explanation is wrong.. base shear is not the earthquake force.. it is resistance against the earthquake force . !! All the force in story are earthquake force.. and base shear resist that !!
