A 4-storey with Roof deck AFP armory is to be constructed in Sulu. The facility is essential for the housing of the Philippine Army's newly purchased weapons, ammunitions and explosives. The location of the facility is 7.5 km from the known source which is capable of producing a magnitude 6.7 earthquake. The structure is a Steel MRF with an overall height of 14m from the NGL. The weight per level of the slabs and stairs is equal to 1740 kN. For the walls at the typical levels, the weight is computed as 2362.5 kN and for the parapet at the roof deck level, the weight is computed as 388.8 kN. An equipment 2.0 meters high with a hexagonal cross - sectional area whose sides equal to 1 meter is installed at the second level and has a weight of 100 kPa. Using R = 8.5, which of the following most nearly gives the lateral force at the 4th level in kN? Use Soil Type A.
