This document calculates the base shear and seismic forces for a two-story timber frame building. It provides details on the building geometry, material properties, and code parameters used in the calculations. The base shear is determined to be 64.099 kN. This is distributed to the first and second floors as 40.856 kN and 23.243 kN respectively.
