It’s the conversation factor from weight to mass as per Newton’s second law (the acceleration in “in/ sec2 units). 386 kips/in/sec2 = 32.174 ft./sec2 *12. Hope this helps

dakota, I do not have this book however you are totally right..Before comparing between Vt (dynamic base shear) & 0.85*V (ELE) you have to scale down the story forces (Fi) from the model (dynamic method) by the I/R factor

I'm sure there is probably a thread for this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. For those who have taken WA SE III, what study guides or references did you use beyond the codes? Thanks for your help. I'm trying to decide what to sell form books, I'm taking the WA SE III exam in October 09.

Did you get your result? I think we should get it within two days.
