    The document provides calculations for computing earthquake loads based on reference standards. It defines factors and variables used in the calculations such as Omega_o equal to 2.8 and calculates values for design force Fp equal to 4.2336 kN/m and maximum expected force Em equal to 11.85 kN/m which converts to 0.812 k/ft.

    Computation of Earthquake Loads

    REFERENCE: NSCP 2015


    Ωo= 2.8
    Em=ΩoE h
    Eh=Fp
    Fp=4 CaIpWp
    Ca=0.48
    Ip=1.5

    Fp=4 ( 0.48 ) ( 1.5 ) (1.47)
