Total Lateral Force Acting in Direction of each of Principal Axis Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lateral Force = Seismic Response Coefficient*Total Dead Load
V = C_s*W
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Lateral Force - (Measured in Newton) - Lateral Force is live loads that are applied parallel to the ground; that is, they are horizontal forces acting on a structure.
Seismic Response Coefficient - Seismic Response Coefficient calculates reduced design seismic forces of structural system and deflection amplification factor to convert elastic lateral displacements to total lateral displacements.
Total Dead Load - (Measured in Newton) - Total Dead Load is a permanent load which results from the weight of the structure itself.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Seismic Response Coefficient: 0.35 --> No Conversion Required
Total Dead Load: 106.75 Kilonewton --> 106750 Newton (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = C_s*W --> 0.35*106750

Evaluating ... ...

V = 37362.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

37362.5 Newton -->8.39942413657375 Kilopound-Force (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8.39942413657375 ≈ 8.399424 Kilopound-Force <-- Lateral Force
