12.7 The lateral force that is generated during building shaking can be calculated with the equation: Force = mass x acceleration, Based on this, which one of the following statement(s) is correct? ⚫ A building's total seismic design force is proportional to its weight. ⚫ Seismic forces are applied at the ground level; therefore, a building's upper floors have very small seismic force. ⚫ The largest seismic force is generated at the upper floors where they have the highest acceleration. . Seismic protective devises that dampen (reduce) building acceleration may be used to reduce the building seismic force. 12.8 Given five-story building, that weighs a 100kips and has concrete shear walls and special moment-resisting frames: a) Determine Response Modification Factor, R, from ASCE 7, Table 12.2-1 for Dual System of Special Moment Frame and Special reinforced concrete shear wall (Type D-3) b) Calculate Seismic Base Shear (V) using the following ASCE 7 equations and building information:…

Q5 a) The discontinuity characteristic mostly dominates failure in the rock mass. Thus, the selection of stabilisation must be made based on the mode of instability. Answer the following question: a) Figure Q5(a) shows two types of failure modes in rock; rockfall and wedge failure.
