Out of plane seismic forces on a bearing wall
Out of plane seismic forces on a bearing wall
(OP)
Having trouble finding where in the ASCE 7-02 code it defines how you calculate the out of plane seismic loads on a bearing wall. Does someone know offhand?
I interpret the equivalent lateral force procedure to only distribute the base shear to the diaphragms, not to individual components.

Will definitely look closer at the IBC2003. Didnt think they had much seismic guidance in there anymore
