Question: Q 1 ( 5 0 pts ) : The design parameters shown below are given for a 1 0 story hospital building. Calculate the horizontal

Q1(50 pts): The design parameters shown below are given for a 10 story hospital building. Calculate the horizontal earthquake forces and eccentricity moments to be applied on each story for x and y direction earthquakes (Exx and Ey).
The building has A1 Type of Torsional Irregularity Problem as described below
For all stories bi=1.5
Location: Avclar, Istanbul SS=1.277,S1=0.344
Local Site Class: ZC
Tx=1.55sec(the building vibrates in x direction)
Ty=1.25sec(the building vibrates in Y direction)
Story height is 3 meters (total height is 30m)
b:32m
w:28m
Uniformly Distributed Dead Load: 8kNm2
Uniformly Distributed Live Load: 4kNm2
I (Building Importance Factor)=1.5(Hospital Building)
It is given that earthquake loads are resisted by moment resisting frames and shear walls with high ductility, the corresponding R and D values are as follows:
R(System Response Coefficient): 7
D (Excess Strength Coefficient): 2.5
Note: Use ton as the unit of mass and kN(kiloNewton) for weight. 1 ton=9.81 kN
