Seismic loads calculations

Seismic analysis calculations typically involve several steps and considerations. While I can provide you with a general outline, it’s important to note that seismic analysis methods and codes can vary depending on the region and design standards being used. Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in seismic analysis:

Seismic load calculations are an essential part of structural engineering, particularly in regions prone to seismic activity. The specific method of calculating seismic loads depends on the seismic design code adopted for a particular country or region. Since you mentioned ECP, which stands for “Ecuadorian Code of Construction,” I’ll provide an overview of seismic load
