Application | Application 1: Minimum value of the base shear, Vd, for
structures analyzed using a Linear Dynamic Analysis, to be used in the design
of buildings for earthquake.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the base shear used for the
design of the structure will be based on a value obtained from a model that
is more flexible than an actual structure would be, which could lead to a
base shear value that is lower than it should be, which could lead to structural
failure, which could lead to harm to persons. |
