This document provides information on calculating the period of vibration and seismic base shear of a building according to NBC 105:2020. It gives the equation to calculate fundamental period of vibration based on building height and structural system. It then provides steps to calculate the amplified period, spectral shape factors, seismic zoning factor, importance factor, and horizontal seismic base shear for ultimate and serviceability limit states. The example calculations provided are for a 26.8m tall moment resisting concrete frame building in Nepalgunj (soil type C).
