Consider the typical floor of a multistorey building, with the centre of mass located in position X=9.0, Y=9.0 and the seismic force applied at theground floor is equal to 2000 kN. Calculate the displacements and stress resultants of columns C1, C3, C4, C 6, C11, C13, C16 under seismic action in direction X. The ground floor height is 3.0 m. Concrete class C30/37. 
Figure 5.4.7.1 Figure 5.4.7.1 Select sheet B_547-1 of file "diaphragm_ortho.xls" containing the geometry of the 16 columns, the coordinates of centre of mass CM 9,00/9,00 and the seismic force Hx=2000 kΝ . Column C1 -although non diaphragmatic will be treated as belonging to the diaphragm as two beams frame into it and therefore behaves rather as a diaphragm one than as an inactive element.
