The document outlines the process and calculations for determining seismic forces on two structural models (ductile moment frame and ductile concentrically braced frame) of a 4-story building using quasi-static analysis as per Canadian codes.

The steps involve determining the total building height and weight, calculating the seismic response factor, period, base shear, lateral seismic force, additional load at the roof, checking F*S requirements, and distributing forces to each level based on their weight times height.

For a ductile moment frame, the force reduction factor R is 4.0, while for a ductile concentrically braced frame it is 3.0. The braced frame also requires specifying the brace section. Other parameters and calculations are the same for both frames.
