Question

The new City Sanitarium is to be constructed in Valenzuela City. After conducting soil tests, the underlying soil of the location of the new sanitarium was found out that has a stiff soil profile. The structure is located 7 km from the nearest source that is capable of producing a Magnitude 6.5 earthquake. If it will be made of concrete SMRF, a total height of 21 meters and a total weight of 23,456.50 kN. A. Determine the percentage of the additional force at the top level of the structure with respect to the maximum value of the force at the top level. a. 20.1% b. 21.1% c. 23.1% d. 22.1% B. Determine the ratio of the additional force at the top level of the structure to the maximum allowable (force at the top). a. 33.33% b. 20% c. 16.67% d. 25% C. Determine the near source factor Nv. a. 1.00 b. 1.20 c. 1.12 d. 1.25 D. Determine the additional force at the top level of the structure. a. 142.5 kN b. 136.5 kN c. 140.5 kN d. 138.5 kN
