Determine the seismic design force (in pounds) for a parapet braced at the top. The concrete (150 pcf) parapet measures 4 ft tall and 6 in thick. Perform the analysis on a 1 ft strip of parapet. In other words, the parapet for analysis measures 12 in long x 4 ft tall x 6 in thick. The parapet is on the roof, so z = h. Use Sps = 0.8 and Ip = 1.0.
