4‐Calculation the total lateral impulsive force Pi & convective force Pc :
= 0.765 ACI 350.3‐06, Appendix B, Eq B‐1,2,3
= 0.120 ACI 350.3‐06, Appendix B, Eq B‐4,5
5‐Calculation the total Base Shaer V:
= 3176.3 KN ACI 350.3‐06, Appendix B & Eq 4‐5
6‐Dynamic force distribution above base per Wall perpendicular to ground motion:
Pi Top = 5.7 KN/m2
Pi Bottom = 39.8 KN/m2
Pc Bottom = 2.0 KN/m2
= 29.4 KN/m2
= 29.4 KN/m2 = 29.4 KN/m2
= 5.7 KN/m2 = 5.2 KN/m2 = 40.3 KN/m2
