addition to lateral stresses brought on by earthquake base excitation. Using the ETABS software, we determined the active gravity load to be (self-weight), and we set the superimposed dead load on each level to 2.5 kN/m2. The total live load, including the terrace, was calculated to be 4.79 kN/m2 using ASCE 7 [48].
