Total Dead Load given Base Shear Formula Elements

Variables
Total Dead Load
Total Dead Load is a permanent load which results from the weight of the structure itself.
Symbol: W
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Lateral Force
Lateral Force is live loads that are applied parallel to the ground; that is, they are horizontal forces acting on a structure.
Symbol: V
Measurement: ForceUnit: kipf
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
Symbol: Cs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
