Questions 7-8 : Seismic Loading Consider the building shown in section below. The footprint of the building is 100' x 100" (square in plan). The client wants to build twin towers, one located in New York City and the other in Los Angeles. The values of Z and C (seismic zone and soil conditions) for the two sites are shown in the table below. Otherwise the architectural design, construction system, weight and occupancy of the two buildings are identical (the construction details will, of course, need to be different given the difference in seismic zones). Z Location New York City, NY Los Angeles, CA с 1.5 0.10 0.40 2.5 7. If the base shear on the building in NYC is calculated to be 260 k, what would be the predicted base shear for the building in LA (in kips)? Vas kips 8. For the New York city location, calculate the seismic load at each level (1-5) in kips. The weight and spacing of each level is shown on the drawing. Seismic load value (kips) F1 F2 F F FS Hint: in order for the loads to balance on the building, the values of Fat each floor must add up to equal Vse
