R - response modification factor (see ASCE 7-02 Table 9.5.2.2)
I - occupancy importance factor (see ASCE 7-02 Section 9.1.4)
SMS - maximum considered earthquake spectral response acceleration for short periods (see ASCE 7-02 Section 9.4.1.2.4-1)
SS - mapped maximum considered earthquake spectral response acceleration at short periods (see ASCE 7-02 Figure 9.4.1.1a)
Fa - acceleration-based site coefficient at .3 s-period (see ASCE 7-02 Table 9.4.1.2.4a)

T - fundamental period of the building (see ASCE 7-02 Section 9.5.5.3)
Ta - approximate fundamental period (see ASCE 7-02 Section 9.5.5.3.2-1)
CT = building period coefficient (see ASCE 7-02 Table 9.5.5.3.2)
Cu - coefficient for upper limit on calculated period (see ASCE 7-02 Table 9.5.5.3.1)
hn - height in feet (meters) above the base to the highest level of the building
Cvx - vertical distribution factor
Wx, Wi - the portion of the total gravity load of the building (W) located or assigned to level I or x
hx - the height (feet or m) from the base level I or x
Fx - the portion of the seismic base shear, V, induced at level x
