A two-storey with roof deck building with special moment
resisting frame is constructed and located to a seismic source type
A , 4 kms. closest distance from seismic source. The 3 vertical
columns of the building is equally spaced at 6 m. with 2nd floor
and roof deck located at 6 m and 10 m from the ground respectively.
The estimated wt. of the 2nd floor and roof deck are 800 kN and
700kN respectively. Use Na = 1.2, Nv = 1.6 and Z = 0.20
Which of the ff. most nearly gives the lateral force (in kN) at
the 2nd floor.*
a. 131
b. 141
c. 151
d. 121
Which of the ff. most nearly gives the lateral force (in kN) at
the roof deck.*

c. 140
d. 130
Calculate the base shear using simplified method in kN.*
a. 291
b. 271
c. 261
d. 281
