Given: The elevation of the side shearwall of a building as shown in Fig. 3.D. The force from the roof diaphragm to the shearwall is 43 k. The wall dead load D 75 psf, and the seismic base shear coefficient is 0.244.

Find: The total shear and the unit shear at the midheight of the wall using ASD and LRFD load combinations.
