Extracted text: 1 The plan and elevation of a three-storey RCC school building is shown in Fig. 5.28. The building is located in seismic zone iI . The type of soil encountered is soft soil resisting frame. The intensity of DL is 15 kN/m² and the floors are to cater to an IL of 5 kN/m?. Determine the design seismic loads on the structure by static analysis. and it is proposed to design the building with a special moment- 4m 3.5 m 3.5 m 4m 3.5 m 4m 4m (a) Plan (b) Elevation Fig. 5.28 Building configuration
