Seismic Load Factors and Coefficients

This document defines seismic coefficients and load combinations for structural design. It provides the soil type, seismic coefficients for horizontal and vertical ground motion, and defines load factors and additional seismic parameters. It then lists drift check and ultimate strength design load combinations that include factors for dead loads, live loads, roof live loads, wind loads, earthquake loads, and other parameters.
