Problem 2.5

SOLUTION

Because the live loads on the floors are equal to 100 lb/ft2 (4.79 kN/m2), the load factor
on 𝐿 is permitted to be taken as 0.5.

The seismic load effect, 𝐸, is determined as follows:

• For use in ASCE/SEI Equation 6:

𝐸 = 𝐸ℎ + 𝐸𝑣 = 𝜌𝑄𝐸 + 0.2𝑆𝐷𝑆 𝐷 = (1.0 × 𝑄𝐸 ) + (0.2 × 0.41 × 𝐷) = 𝑄𝐸 + 0.08𝐷

• For use in ASCE/SEI Equation 7:

𝐸 = 𝐸ℎ − 𝐸𝑣 = 𝜌𝑄𝐸 − 0.2𝑆𝐷𝑆 𝐷 = (1.0 × 𝑄𝐸 ) − (0.2 × 0.41 × 𝐷) = 𝑄𝐸 − 0.08𝐷

Substituting for 𝐸, ASCE/SEI Equation 6 becomes the following:

1.2𝐷 + 𝑄𝐸 + 0.08𝐷 + 0.5𝐿 + 0.15𝑆 = 1.28𝐷 + 𝑄𝐸 + 0.5𝐿

Similarly, ASCE/SEI Equation 7 becomes the following:
