Seismic Force of an Existing Irregular Shape Building

Seismic Force of an Existing Irregular Shape Building

Seismic Force of an Existing Irregular Shape Building

(OP)
Hi ,

I was asked to design a couple new cmu walls and a dropped ceiling inside of an existing 1 story building Roof framing is wood and the perimeter has different size cmu walls. I need to find the seismic force in order to engineer the walls and the dropped ceiling. Does it matter if the building has an irregular shape or not ?
It is almost hexagonal shape.
