Single story with a basement. 40'x120'. Masonry shear walls and concrete basement walls. IBC 09, SDC=B.
The question I have is about the basement level. Are there any special provisions to determine the seismic force on the basement level or is its similar to a level about grade? Do I need to consider some weight of the soil as seismic weight?
