This document summarizes the final project for a 9-story building located in California designed to seismic standards. It includes pushover curves analyzing the building's response to lateral loads, linear dynamic analysis per FEMA-356, and a sensitivity study exploring the effects of increased mass, reduced member stiffness, and scaled ground motions. The analysis required reinforcing the first story columns more but less for 7th story beams. The design proved highly sensitive to changes and will require closer inspection.
