Question: Problem 2 The 5 - story building below uses special moment resisting frame ( SMRF ) . Mapped spectral accelerations for the short period,

Problem 2
The 5-story building below uses special moment resisting frame (SMRF). Mapped spectral accelerations for the short period, \(\mathrm{Ss}=2.1\mathrm{~g}\). Mapped spectral accelerations for the long period, \(\mathrm{S}1=0.95\mathrm{~g}\). Site profile is very dense soil. Building is standard occupancy. Typical floor weight, WF \(=350\) kips, Roof weight, WR \(=250\) kips. Determine 1) Seismic base shear, V. Use the IBC Equivalent Lateral Force Method, 2) The vertical load distribution Fx.3) The diaphragm forces Fp.
