Use the Simplified Alternative Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 12, Section 12.14 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the limitations described therein. A two-story building with the following characteristics has a bearing wall system consisting of light-frame (cold-formed steel) walls sheathed with wood structural panels rated for shear resistance. A certain shear wall in the building is 120 feet long by 20 feet tall and weighs 15 psf. Determine the seismic base shear, V, for the wall.Risk Category ISite Class DSS = 1.25, S1 = 0.75

Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing an open building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 120 mph. Assume that exposure category B is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the velocity pressure, qh.
