PROBLEM #$2$:

Given: $2-$ Story building per Figures A & B$.$

Seismic Coefficient $C_s=0\mathrm{.}25$ Roof Dead Load $D_r={16}^{PSF}{2}^{nd}$ Floor Dead Load $D={24}^{PSF}$ Walls: $10"$ thick Normal Weight CMU, Solid Grouted. Find:

A$.$ Effective Seismic Weight, $W$ for Seismic Base Shear Force for the entire two$-$story office building per Figures $A$ & B$.$

B$.$ Seismic Base Shear, $V($Kips$)$ and $V_{\text{A}\text{S}\text{D}\text{L}\text{E}\text{V}\text{E}\text{L}}$ for the entire two$-$story office building per Figures A & B$.$

C$.$ Unit Shear $v_u(PLF)-$ strength level & unit shear v $($PLF$)-$ ASD level at $1^{st}$ floor walls in both directions $($transverse & longitudinal$).$
