The city of Moscow, Idaho has decided to build a 3-story high school on the edge of town (next to "open terrain"). There is an Intermediate reinforced masonry, 25 foot wide, shear wall parallel to the North-South direction, and two steel ordinary concentrically braced frames on the East and West walls. The roof has a dead load of 25 psf and a snow load 75 psf. The second and third floors have a dead load of 65 psf and a partition load of 12 psf. The intermediate reinforced masonry shear wall has a dead load of 82 psf. The exterior walls have a dead load of 40 psf. Our geotechnical engineer says the site class is classified as C. A. Determine the seismic base shear B. Determine the vertical distribution of seismic forces, Fx C. Determine the diaphragm loads for the 2nd, 3rd, and roof levels. All floors have the same floor plan. You may assume there are no structural irregularities. 12 ft 12 ft 12 ft 80 ft North 60 ft 80 ft X - Bracing 25 ft Shear Wall Floor Plan 60 ft The city of Moscow, Idaho has decided to build a 3-story high school on the edge of town (next to "open terrain").
