What is SA/g in seismic analysis? How do you calculate SA/g?
SA/g is called the lateral force coefficient in seismic analysis. Base shear or lateral force on a building subjected to an earthquake is represented as follows.
Base shear =
Multiplying the SA/g value with the weight of the structure gives the maximum lateral force that a building can withstand.
