Question: Based on the static equivalent seismic load concept ( f s = m * a s ) , calculate f s using the spectral acceleration

Based on the static equivalent seismic load concept (fs=m*as), calculate fs using the spectral
acceleration value in 0.000378s
Note: This static equivalent force is the maximum load that your structure will be subjected to during
your earthquake. It is also equal to the maximum base shear Vtsoex(as defined in seismic codes) in your
structure during the earthquake.
fs(=fmax)=m*as=m*PSAa
(PSAa=as,max=2umax=2SDe)
where the subscript s refers to static equivalent load procedure, a to acceleration and e to elastic
analysis. The structure has a damping ratio of 5%.
