Computation of Earthquake Loads

The document provides calculations for computing earthquake loads based on reference standards. It defines factors and variables used in the calculations such as Omega_o equal to 2.8 and calculates values for design force Fp equal to 4.2336 kN/m and maximum expected force Em equal to 11.85 kN/m which converts to 0.812 k/ft.
