Seismic Response Coefficient given Fundamental Period

Go Seismic Response Coefficient = 1.2*Seismic Coefficient for Short Period Structures/(Response Modification Factor*Fundamental Period^(2/3))

Total Lateral Force Acting in Direction of each of Principal Axis

Go Lateral Force = Seismic Response Coefficient*Total Dead Load

Seismic Response Coefficient given Base Shear

Go Seismic Response Coefficient = Lateral Force/Total Dead Load

Total Dead Load given Base Shear

Go Total Dead Load = Lateral Force/Seismic Response Coefficient
