Considering only Y direction and seismic Type 1 calculate:

a) (5.0 marks) The natural frequency in Y direction by Rayleigh Method.
b) (4.0 marks) Using the Lateral Force Method calculate the horizontal forces acting in each
storey without considering the torsional effects. Consider a behaviour factor equal to 1.5.
si  mi Fi is the horizontal force acting on storey i;
Fi  Fb 
 sj  mj Fb is the seismic base shear;
si, sj displacements of masses mi, mj in the fundamental mode
shape;
Fb  Sd (T1 )  m  
mi, mj are the storey masses.
c) (3.0 marks) The moment at the base of column P1B, without considering the torsional effects.

d) (2.0 marks) Considering the requirements of Eurocode 8 for the design structures with
medium ductility class, the transverse reinforcements of a beam are designed to a design
value of the shear force obtained by the capacity method. Explain how the design value of the
shear force can be obtained taking into account the quasi-permanent actions and seismic
action.
