(see Table 208-8) Soil Profile Type (see Table 208-2)
I: Importance Factor (see Table 208-1) Seismic Source Type (see Table 208-6)
W : Total Seismic Dead Load
R : numerical coefficient representative of
the inherent overstrength and global
ductility capacity of lateral-force resisting
systems (see Table 208-11)
T : elastic fundamental period of the
structure in the direction under
consideration

Using the NSCP 2015 provisions for seismic lateral
forces, determine the following
A. Design base shear
B. Distributed Lateral forces
C. Shear and Moment on each floor of the five
storey office building
D. Shear, axial and moment of the beams and
columns using portal method
If 3 members, analyze Frame B only.
If 4 or more members, analyze Frame B and 2.
