DS D1 Consider a 7-story buildings with a total plan area BxL. In which B=125ft and L=60ft. The average weight of each floor and roof are 95 lb/ft2 and 75 lb/ft2, respectively. The 84 ft-tall building is located in a seismic region with S =1.6 g and S=0.5g for a building supported on rock, where g is the gravitational acceleration. The structure of the building consists of steel moment frames (all joints are rigid) that have an R value of 8. The importance factor l=1.0 Determine the total design seismic force (kips) acting at the base of the building (seismic base shear in kips)
