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.The structure will be made of concrete SMRF, a total height of 21 meters and a total weight of 23,456.50 kN. If a similar structure with the same function will be constructed in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, which of the following most nearly gives the height of the structure in Palawan so that its design base shear will not exceed the maximum design base shear of the structure in Valenzuela. Assume that the two structures will have the same weight and the governing total design base shear in Palawan will not exceed the maximum nor be less than the minimum considering its seismic data Group of answer choices a. 8.1 m b. 8.5 m c. 8.9 m d. 8.3 m
