Question: Please solve part 3 . I. A 5 - story office building below has the steel special moment resisting frames for the seismic force resisting

Please solve part 3. I. A 5-story office building below has the steel special moment resisting frames for the seismic force
resisting system. Each story is 12 ft tall. The story displacements are given as shown from the linear
elastic analysis. The following is required:
What is the elastic story drift (inter-story displacement) at
level 5(roof) and level 3, respectively.
What is the design story drift ratio for level 5 and level 3,
respectively.
What is the allowable story drift ratio for this building?
Justify your answer.
III. Below are the seismic design parameters of a building:
Site shear wave velocity for the top 100ft(vs)=1100ftsec
(assume no clay, peat or liquefiable soils)
Mapped spectral response acceleration at 0.2-sec period, Ss=1.00(g)
Mapped spectral response acceleration at 1-sec period, S1=0.45(g)
Building period, Ta=0.80sec
Long-period transition period, TL=8sec
Required:
The site class of the building
The design spectral response acceleration, Sa
The seismic base shear for equivalent force procedure design (in terms of W, the total
effective seismic weight of the building)
