Design Example Using CAST<br />

<strong>The</strong> three-story squat wall with openings described in the book by Paulay and Priestley (1992) is<br />

used to show how CAST can be used for seismic design. In this design, ACI code (ACI 318-02<br />

2002) is employed <strong>The</strong> design only considers the seismic effects in term of equivalent static lateral<br />

forces; the gravity load condition is not performed. Because the structure is not symmetric, two load<br />

conditions, one associated with the left lateral forces and the other associated with the right lateral<br />

forces, need to be considered.<br />
