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 building frame system consisting of steel and concrete composite special shear walls. A certain shear wall in the building is 80 feet long by 18 feet tall and weighs 80 psf. Determine the seismic base shear, V, for the wall.Risk Category ISite Class BSS = 0.75, S1 = 0.30

The two columns in the following floor framing plan support only loads from a restaurant on the second floor. The city has approved floor live load reductions for this particular building. A dead load of 13.0 psf acts on the tributary area of the columns. Combine this with the reduced floor live load, and then determine the total load that acts on one of the columns.
