Check the Period (1/Frequency) from 16-39

3/4
= Ct * hn where Ct = 0.020 and hn = total Vessel Height [Ta]:
3/4
= 0.020 * 7699.9995 = 0.225 seconds
The Coefficient Cu from Table 1617.4.2 is 1.300
Check the Min. Value of T which is the Smaller of Cu*Ta and T, [T]:
= Min. Value of (1.300 * 0.225 , 1/33.000 ) = 0.0303 per 1617.4.2
As Time period is < 0.06 second, using section 1622.2.6.
Compute the Base Shear per 16-77, [V]:
= 0.3 * Sds * W * I
= 0.3 * 0.667 * 12377198 * 1.00 = 2475439 N
Note: Loads multiplied by the Scalar multiplier value of 0.7143
Final Base Shear,

V = 1768206.62 N
