Given: ASCE 7 seismic design force requirements

Find:

a. The formulas for the base shear. Give section reference.

b. The mapped maximum considered spectral response accelerations S_S
and S₁
from seismic hazard maps. Cite reference. What is the physical significance of S_S
and S₁?

c. The maximum tabulated Site Class coefficients F_a
and F_v. Cite reference. Explain the purpose of these coefficients.

d. The maximum values of S_MS, S_M1, S_DS, and S_D1, based on previous values.

e. Briefly describe the purpose of the R-factor. What value of R is used for a building with wood-frame bearing walls that are sheathed with wood structural panel sheathing?
