We are interested in the forces at a footing due to dead, live, and earthquake loads. The horizontal forces are 0.8 for dead, 1.1 for live, and 4.7 for earthquake. The vertical forces are 2.3 for dead, 3.9 for live, and 4.0 for earthquake. For vertical forces, positive indicates compression and negative indicates uplift. Apply all the relevant load combinations. All forces are in kips Determine the largest uplift force in kips

Question

We are interested in the forces at a footing due to dead, live, and earthquake loads. The horizontal forces are 0.8 for dead, 1.1 for live, and 4.7 for earthquake. The vertical forces are 2.3 for dead, 3.9 for live, and 4.0 for earthquake. For vertical forces, positive indicates compression and negative indicates uplift. Apply all the relevant load combinations. All forces are in kips

Determine the largest uplift force in kips to two decimals. Since uplift is negative, provide a negative answer. If your calculations show that there is no uplift, enter zero.
