Seismic Design of a New Room in an Existing Structure

You might not need to do a full analysis. The code has a threshold of 10% I believe. If the seismic weight being added to the structure is less than 10% you don’t need to do anything. I would imagine for your case the additional weight would be the weight of the partitions plus any live load depending on the type of loading.
