The horizontal forces are 0.7 for dead, 1.1 for live, and 4.7 for earthquake. The vertical forces are 2.3 for dead, 3.9 for live, and 3.8 for earthquake. For vertical forces, positive indicates compression and negative indicates uplift. Apply all the relevant load combinations. All forces are in kips. Determine the largest compressive vertical force in kips to two decimals.arrow_forward
