how to calculate the seismic load of CMU screen wall
(OP)
I have a 12" CMU wall (solid grouted) with 13.3' high. it is a screen wall. the verical reinforcement is #6 @ 18" OC
I have calcualted the SDs=0.61, SD1=0.58 (design spectral response).
How to calculate lateral seismic load?
Thanks

Just use the pertinent IBC equations for the lateral seismic forces.

in the formula 0.4SDsI, is that I can be same as the adjacent building.
Thanks.
