Total Dead Load given Base Shear Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Dead Load = Lateral Force/Seismic Response Coefficient
W = V/C_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Dead Load - (Measured in Newton) - Total Dead Load is a permanent load which results from the weight of the structure itself.
Lateral Force - (Measured in Newton) - Lateral Force is live loads that are applied parallel to the ground; that is, they are horizontal forces acting on a structure.
Seismic Response Coefficient - Seismic Response Coefficient calculates reduced design seismic forces of structural system and deflection amplification factor to convert elastic lateral displacements to total lateral displacements.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lateral Force: 8.4 Kilopound-Force --> 37365.0615681401 Newton (Check conversion here)
Seismic Response Coefficient: 0.35 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = V/C_s --> 37365.0615681401/0.35

Evaluating ... ...

W = 106757.318766115

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

106757.318766115 Newton -->106.757318766115 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

106.757318766115 ≈ 106.7573 Kilonewton <-- Total Dead Load

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
