I. Direction: Fill in the blanks.

1. The maximum element storey shear ratio is defined as the largest of the element storey
shear ratios, which occurs in any of the storey levels at or below the ________________
height of the building.

2. For shear walls, , the element storey shear ratio ( ri ) shall be taken as the maximum
value of the product of the wall shear multiplied by 3/lw and divided by the total storey
shear, lw refers to ________________.

Answer: _________________

5. The equivalent Importance factor of hazardous facilities is equal to _________________.

6. Near-source factors, Nv equal to 2.0, 1,6 and 1.0 connote the seismic source type of A,
B, and C, respectively, under the distance of ____________________.

7. The formula in determining the maximum design base shear by static lateral force
procedure is _______________________.

8. What is value of Ct for RC moment-resisting frames and eccentrically braced frames?


Answer: _________________

9. A ___________________ is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70% of that in
the storey above or less than 80% of the average stiffness of the three stories above.

10. ______________________ type of irregularity should be considered to exit where the


horizontal dimension of the lateral force resisting system in any storey is more than 130%
of that in an adjacent storey.
