This document provides information for analyzing seismic loads on a steel building per UBC-97 standards. It includes notation for terms used in the analysis such as seismic coefficients, response modification factor, and period coefficients. The analysis calculates the total gravity load (W) and seismic base shear (V) for different levels of the building. It then distributes the seismic shear to each level based on its relative mass and height to calculate the seismic force (Fx) for design.
