2,319.1. Example Building
Given. A12-story steel building located in downtown Los Angeles, California. The
lateral-load-resisting system consists of special moment-resisting space frames (SMRFS),
interacting with eccentric braced frames (ECBs). The far ends of beams in the ECBs are
moment-connected to columns. The building has wo, 12-feet-high basement levels. The
shear base is at ground level. (This example building is also analyzed using ASCE 7-02
Seismic provisions in Sect. 2.4.6. See Fig. 2.46.)

Required. Using the Eq
following:
alent Lateral Procedure of UBC 1997, determine the
+ Base shear ¥,
+ Seismic forces, ie., the F, forees.
+ Overtuming moments.
+ Diaphragm design forces.
+ Maximum allowable inelastic response displacement, Ay. This is the total drift
that occurs when the structure is subjected to design-basis ground motion, includ~
ing estimated elastic and inelastic contributions to the deformation.
+ Seismic force amplification factor, @, required for the design of critical
elements such as columns below structural discontinuity.Seismic Data
