Seismic Dead Load W
The dead load W, used for calculating the base shear, includes the total dead load of
the structure, the actual weight of partitions with a minimum allowance of 10 psf of
floor area, 25% of the floor live load in storage and warehouse occupancies.

Distribution of Lateral Force Fx
The extra force at the top is
Ft accounts for the greater participation of the higher-mode responses of longer-
period structures. The remaining portion of the total base shear (V – Ft) is
distributed over the height, including the top, by the formula

Example-01 (Seismic Base Shear)
The floor plan is shown, in figure of a single story commercial building located on a site
in seismic zone 3 with a soil profile type Sd. The 14 feet high masonry shear walls are
load bearing and have a weight of 70lb/ft2. The weight of the roof is 50lb/ft2 and all
other weights may be neglected. Determine the seismic base shear?
