the first stage of design, which of the following statement is true? 
(A) When structure under frequent earthquakes, the seismic bearing capacity of the cross 
section of the structural member should be checked by the standard combination of seismic effect and

Class III site, 46m high. Through calculation, the seismic overturning moment of the seismic wall part is 
less than 50% of the total overturning moment of the structure. When performing the seismic structure 
design, which of the following is the correct?
