A four story "intermediate reinforced concrete moment frames" supports seismic weights of
1400 kip on each floor and 500 kip on the roof. The natural (fundamental) period of this
frame as T-0.6 sec. Based on ASCE 7-16 procedures, the base shear this frame must resist
in an earthquake is V-846 kip

1. Based on the natural period, linearly interpolate the value of k that should be used for
the equivalent lateral force method.
2. Using your interpolated value of k and the base shear, compute the vertical distribution
of lateral loads.
3. Draw an elevation of the frame showing the lateral loads applied to each floor and the
roof.
4. Assuming k-2, compute the vertical distribution of lateral loads.
5. Draw an elevation of the frame showing the lateral loads applied to each floor and the
roof when k=2.
