Light steel structure with added stories is a economic and effective method of strengthening design for existing buildings, and it is promoted and applied widely. But it still has some problems about computing of seismic action effect. The computing is not simply in accordance with the base shear method. The value of dynamic magnification factor which was counted as ß needs further research. In this paper, the value of is 2 on the basis of theoretical analysis and calculation example. The safety factor of the value is higher, and the design with the ß is more economic and reasonable.
