Steps for Civil Engineering, Structural Analysis

The figures show an apartment

building, which structural system is

concrete bearing wall with special shear

walls. It is located in flat terrain, with

buildings, homes, and trees around it$.$

The soil is "Very Dense Soil". Based on

ASCE $7-16,$ do the following:

a$)$ Determine the seismic equivalent

static forces to be applied on each floor.

Use $740$ kips of weight for each

intermediate floor and $680$ kips for the

roof.

b$)$ Determine the wind load pressure at

the main structural system assuming

the building is enclosed, evaluated at

each principal direction $(x$ and $Y).$ Do

not consider the stairs for the analysis.

$L=10ft$
