Question

A one-story building shown has a concrete slab roof. The shear walls are all 10-inch concrete and also act as bearing walls. All the walls are 12 feet in height. The walls are assumed to act as cantilevers. Consider earthquake in the North-South direction. Determine the distribution of the shears on the shear walls. Assume the design base shear V= 100 kips in the N-S direction. The center of mass is located on the plan. The building is in Seismic Design Category D. 24 ft- 48 ft Wall (6) 12 ft Wall (1) Roof slab above walls 36 ft Wall (4) Wall (5) 12 ft Center of mass 16 ft Wall (3) 12 ft Wall (2) - 24 ft + 24ft - 24 ft -
