RE: Sismic Load (to distribute)
You may get "Seismic design of building structures" by Lindenburg and Baradar and "Seismic design of buildings and briges" by Williams on www.ppi2pass.com (see products, seismic review materials).
Or you may find an engineer who will do it for you and take responsibility for his work.
Good luck.

Seismic loads can be a complex matter, involving a complete understanding of loads and load paths; and that would be just a start.
Good Luck.
