Appendix-2 Seismic "G" Load Calculation

This document provides the calculation of the seismic "g" load factor for stress analysis of components at the Badra Oilfield in Iraq. It involves inputting parameters like soil profile type, seismic zone factor, seismic source information, amplification factors, and component properties. The output is the total design lateral seismic force and checking that it meets required minimum and maximum criteria according to building code standards. The calculated seismic "g" load factor is 0.34g.

b) Fp <= 4 x Ca x Ip x Wp
a) Fp >= 0.7 x Ca x Ip x Wp
b) Fp <= 4 x Ca x Ip x Wp
