Earthquake Load Calculation

This document contains input parameters for calculating the design base shear and lateral forces of a 7 meter tall building with a plan area of 20.43m x 14m located in Seismic Zone II. The total seismic weight of the building is 10868.76kN. The design base shear in the X and Y directions is calculated to be 271.72kN using the specified seismic zone intensity factor, response reduction factor, and total seismic weight. The lateral forces at each floor level are also calculated.
