Seismic Load Considered Is As Per SAES-A-112. If Calculated The Value Shall Be 0.02 (See The Calculation Below.)

1. The seismic load for the structure is calculated according to ASCE 7-10. The calculated seismic load is 0.02. 2. Key parameters like the mapped spectral acceleration, site coefficients, design spectral response acceleration, seismic design category, structural system properties, and calculation of the seismic response coefficient are determined. 3. All calculations show the seismic design category is C and the seismic response coefficient Cs used is 0.02, which is the minimum allowed value.
