SECTION 2314 (j) Structural Systems.
1. Design requirements. All buildings
designed with a horizontal force factor
K equals 0.67 or 0.80 shall have space
frames -ductile moment resisting.
Buildings more than 160 feet in
height shall have space frames -ductile
moment resisting capable of resisting
not less than 25 percent of the required
seismic forces for the structure as a
whole.
EXCEPTION: Buildings more than 160
feet in height in Seismic Zone No. 1
may have concrete shear walls designed
in conformance with Section 2627 of
this Code in lieu of a ductile moment
resisting space frame, provided a K
value of 1.00 or 1.33 is utilized in th
design.
In Seismic Zones No. 2 and No.
all members in braced frames of
equals 1.0 and K equals 1.33 buildings
shall be designed for 1.5 times the
force determined in accordance with
Section 2314 (d) 1. Connections shall
be designed to develop the full
capacity of the members or shall be
bosed on stresses without the one-third
increase usually permitted on those re-
sulting from earthquake forces.
In Seismic Zones No. 2 and No. 3
concrete space frames required by de-
sign to be part of the lateral force
resisting system and all concrete frames
located in the perimeter line of vertical
support be space frames -ductile mo-
ment resisting.
EXCEPTION: Frames in the perimeter
line of the vertical support of buildings
designed with shear walls taking 100
percent of the design lateral forces
need only conform with the following
paragraph.
In Seismic Zones No. 2 and No, 3
framing elements not required by de-
sign to be part of the lateral force
resisting system shall be investigated
and shown to be adequate for vertical
load -carrying capacity and induced
moment due to four times the distor-
tions resulting from the Code required
lateral forces. The rigidity of other
elements shall be considered in accord-
ance with Section 2314 (e). If the
framing elements do not have sufficient
deformation capacity within their
strength range, then deformation
capacity shall be provided by ductility
or other means.
Moment resisting space frames and
ductile moment resisting space frames
may be enclosed by or adjoined by
more rigid elements which would tend
to prevent the space frame from re-
sisting laferal forces where it can be
shown that the action or failure of the
more rigid elements will not impair the
vertical and lateral load resisting
ability of the space frame. Other
structural concepts may be approved by
the Building Official when evidence is
submitted showing that equivalent
ductility and energy absorption are
provided.
2. Construction. The necessary duc-
tility for a ductile moment -resisting
space frame shall be provided by a
frame of structural steel with moment
resisting connections (complying with
Section 2722 for building in Seismic
Zones No. 2 and No. 3 or Section 2723
for buildings in Seismic Zone No. 1) or
by a reinforced concrete frame (com-
plying with Section 2626 for buildings
in Seismic Zones No. 2 and No. 3 or
Section 2625 for buildings in Seismic
Zone No. 1) .
Braced frames in buildings shall be
composed of axially loaded bracing
members of A36, A440, A441, A572

structural steel; or reinforced concrete
members conforming to the require-
ments of Section 2627.
Reinforced concrete shear walls for
all buildings shall conform to the re-
quirements of Section 2627. In buildings
where K equals 0.67 and K equals 0.80,
all structural elements below the base

required to transmit seismic forces to
the foundation shall be composed of
structural steel (complying with Sec-
tion 2722 for buildings in Seismic Zones
No. 2 and No. 3 or Section 2723 for
buildings in Seismic Zone No. 1) or
by reinforced concrete (complying with
Section 2626 for buildings in Seismic
Zones No. 2 and No. 3 or with Section
2625 for buildings in Seismic Zones No.
1 and with Section 2627 for buildings
in Seismic Zones Nos. 1, 2, and 3.)
SECTION 20. Section 2609 (d) of
the code adopted by this Ordinance is
hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 2609 (d) Required Strength.
The required strength U provided to
resist dead load D and live_ load L
shall be at least equal to
U = 1.5D + 1.8L (9-1)
In the design of a structure or member,
if resistance to the structural effects
of a specified wind load W must be
included in the design, the following
combinations of D, L, and W shall be
e investigated in determining the greatest
required strength U.
3 U-0.75 (1.5D + 1.8L + 1.7W
K
(9-2)
where the cases of L having its full
'value or being completely absentshall
both be checked to determine the'most
severe condition, and
U = 0.9D + 1.3W (9-3)
but in any case the strength of the
Member or structure shall not be less
than required by Formula (9-1 ).
Where earthquake loads are a con-
sideration, the requirements of the pre-
ceding paragraph shall apply except
that 1.1E shall be substituted for W in
Formulas (9-2) and (9-3). Load factors
contained in Section 2626 and Section
2627 shall be used where applicable.
If lateral earth, pressure H must be
included in design, the strength 'U shall
be at least equal to 1.5D plus 1.8L
plus 1.8H but where D or L reduce the
effect of H, the corresponding coeffici-
ents shall be taken as 0.90 for D and
zero for L.
EXCEPTION: Where lateral earth
pressures have been estimated by "at
rest" soil theory instead of "active" cr
"Rankine" soil theory and such pres-
sures are equal to or exceed an equiva-
lent fluid pressure of 50 p.c.f., 1.5H
may be used instead of 1.8H as re-
quired in the above paragraph. This is
allowed only on the basis of an in-
vestigation, performed by qualified
persons, conforming to the requirements
of Section 2905 for foundation in-
vestigations. For lateral pressures from
liquids F, the provisions of the para-
graph preceding the. exception shal!
apply, except the 1.5F shall be sub-
stituted for 1.8H. The vertical pressure
of liquids shall be considered as dead
load, with due regard to variation in
liquid depth.
Impact effects if any, shall be in-
cluded with the live load L.
Where the structural effects of dif-
ferential settlement, creep, shrinkage,
or temperature change may be signifi-
cant, they shall be included with the
dead load D and the strength U shall
be at least equal to 0.75 (1.50D plus
1.8L).
Estimations of differential settlement,
creep, shrinkage, or temperature change
shall be based on a realistic assessment
of such effects occurring in service.

code adopted by this Ordinance is
hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 2611 (q) Special Provisions for
Walls. Design for horizontal shear forces in
the plane of the wall shall be in accordance
with this Section. The nominal sheaf stress,
v shall be computed by
'Jilted by
-"-cAht (11-31)
Where d shall be taken equal to 0.81 . A
larger value of d, equal to the distance from
the extreme compression fiber to the center
of force of all reinforcement in tension, may
be used when determined by a strain com-
patibility analysis.
The shear stress carried by the concrete,
v„ shall not be taken greater than the lesser
value computed from
c=3.3V7+41 h
and
yr=0.6 +
1 (1.25V},'.' + 0.2 I}
U 2
(11-32)
(11-33)
where N is negative for tension.
EXCEPTION: N when in compression
shall be taken as zero for buildings located
in Seismic Zone No. 3 when considering
earthquake loads.
However, v. may be taken as 2✓ f' if N
is compression or Section 2611 (c) 4 may be
applied if N is tension.
When v is less than v./2, reinforcement
shall be provided in accordance with Section
2614 except that in Seismic Zone No. 3 the
minimum required ratio for Ph and P is

ceeding paragraph. The spacing of vertical
shear reinforcement shall not exceed
1w/3,3H, nor 18 inches.
Horizontal wall elements required by de-
sign to be part of the lateral force system
shall be designed for induced vertical shear
forces in the plane of the wall and, in addi-
tion, shall meet all other requirements for
beams when carrying vertical loads as a
beam. The shear stress shall be computed
from Formula (11-3). The shear stress car-
ried by the concrete V shall be as given by
Section 2611 (e). The ratio P of vertical
shear reinforcement area to the gross con-
crete area of horizontal sections shall be at
least 0.0025. The ratio of horizontal re-
inforcement Ph shall be not less than 0.0025
nor less than the required value of Ph. The
