Q#3: Given the deformation of a 4-story building shown below. Determine the allowable and design drifts...
General Information (Problems 2–4) The envelope of a four-story steel building (risk category II) is shown below. Resistance to lateral loads (wind and earthquake) in the direction shown is provided by a steel braced frame on the interior of the building. The gravity load system, floor and roof diaphragms, and the lateral load system for the orthogonal direction are omitted from the figure. GRAVITY BF Roof 15 ft - - - - - - 15 ft WIND 3 15 ft...
