    This document provides the steps and calculations for determining earthquake loading on a structure according to Australian standards. Step 1 defines parameters like importance level, design life, and hazard factor. Step 2 determines soil class. Step 3 establishes the earthquake design category. Step 4 shows load calculations for each floor, accounting for dead, superimposed dead, wall, and imposed loads. Step 5 calculates the base shear and distributes seismic forces vertically according to each floor's seismic weight and height. The loads are applied in the two principal directions as required.
