Suppose your seismic coeff is more than 0.01 but you are getting seismic category as A as per ASCE7-2005, how will you calculate story shears?
I have seismic coeff, Cs=0.0211 and category A.
If I consider eqn 11.7-1 which is for category A, then it is like seismic coeff I am...

with 2' of flood water the buoyancy forces are...
