A small one-story reinforced-concrete building shown blow is idealized as a massless frame supporting a total dead load of 10 kips at the beam level. Each 10-in.-square column is hinged at the base; the beam may be assumed to be rigid in flexure and E = 3 x 103 ksi. Determine the peak response of this structure to ground motion characterized by the design spectrum above scaled to 0.25g peak ground acceleration. Determine the displacement at the top of the frame and the bending moments in the two columns.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
