Out-of-plane Seismic force on walls
Out-of-plane Seismic force on walls
(OP)
In determining the out-of-plane seismic reaction to the diaphragm, do you consider the inertial wall force due to
A: the full height of the wall
B: the height tributary to the diaphragm.
For simplicity consider a single story structure.
I've seen it calculated both ways with the latter being based on a lumped mass model.

A & C if we are talking about the design of the anchorage of wall itself.
