2109.2.1.1 Cumulative Length of Shear Walls
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
In each direction in which shear walls are required for lateral stability, shear walls shall be positioned in two separate planes. The minimum cumulative length of shear walls provided shall be 0.4 times the long dimension of the building. Cumulative length of shear walls shall not include openings or any element with a length that is less than one-half its height.
