For this model, all mass is input at the joints. Table B-1 defines the joint masses used in the<br />
model. The bottom portion of the table defines the masses, the top portion of the table defines<br />
which joints are referred to as the center, corner and edge joints. Note that no mass is assigned<br />
to joints 22 and 26 at the roof level. These are the joints at the top of the chevron braces.<br />

The lateral earthquake loads are assumed to be 17 kips (0.0074ksf) at the roof level and 16 kips<br />
at the second level for the X-direction (moment frame direction), and 26 kips (0.0113 ksf) at the<br />
roof level and 23 kips at the second level for the Y-direction (braced frame direction). These<br />
forces are assigned as shell static uniform loads at the roof level and as joint loads at the second<br />
level. The second level forces are broken down into joint loads as shown in Table B-2.<br />
