ASCE 7-10, Table 12.3-3
ASCE 7-10, Table 12.3-3
(OP)
In looking at the table, several places it mentions the term "story strength", but I can't find that term specifically defined anywhere in the code. Am I missing something?
Based on the shear wall analysis, I would assume the term to mean "the total shear resistance of the remaining walls in any one direction" - not just a particular shear wall line, but all the remaining shear walls in that one direction. Is my thinking wrong here?
