Q1. Analyze a 12-story building (Residential) has the plan shown below is intended to be designed as an earthquake resistant building according to ASCE 7-16.

1. Determine the Base shear force and its distribution along the building height.

2. Determine the force that will be transmitted to each wall in Plan.

3. Draw the force distribution, Shear and Moment diagrams for walls W3 and W8.

The seismic force acts in X-direction, and Y = 1 direction separately.

Assume a slab thickness of each story 35 cm with additional SD = 4.5KN / (m ^ 2)

Wall thickness h = 25 cm. The story height is 3. 6 m.

Assume a service Live Load of LL = 4KN / (m ^ 2)

Calculate the weight of all structural walls within each story and consider 25% of live Load (Assume the mass of the story is uniformly distributed in each story plan).

Take f_{c}' = 28MPa and f_{y} = 420MPa

Site Class "C" Very dense soil and soft rock.

City of the building: Nablus, MCE spectral response accelerations, S_{x} = 0.6, S_{1} = 0.16

Long Period Transition T_{L} = 8S

Consider the own weight of the walls as an axial load in the walls.

Q2. From the analysis results of previous question:

1. Design the wall W3 for the transmitted seismic shear forces (Flexure and Shear) assuming that the wall is Ordinary reinforced concrete structural wall.

2. Design the wall W8 for the transmitted seismic shear forces (Flexure and Shear) assuming that the wall is Special reinforced concrete structural wall Take f_{c}' = 28MPa and f_{y} = 420MPa
