Is the Allowable 4' Horizontal Offset Deleted Now?
Is the Allowable 4' Horizontal Offset Deleted Now?
(OP)
Another structural engineer recently told me that the allowable 4 foot offset for combining shear walls into one shearwall line (flexible diaphragm analysis only) has been deleted from the 2006 IBC / ASCE 7, and the new offset value is only 6 inches. Can anyone confirm or deny this with a code reference? I cannot find it. Thanks in advance.
