California Existing Building Code 2019 > 5A Prescriptive Compliance Method > 501A General > 501A.3 Prescriptive Compliance Provisions > 501A.3.2 Prescriptive Compliance Provisions for SPC-4D Using the New Building Design Requirements of This Code
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Structures satisfying the requirements of the California Building Code for new general acute care hospital buildings design shall be deemed to satisfy the SPC-4D requirements of Table 2.5.3, Chapter 6 of the California Administrative Code.

All existing structural elements of a Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS) shall satisfy the detailing requirements of the California Building Code for new construction or demonstrate that the level of seismic performance is equivalent, as determined by the building official. A demonstration of equivalence shall consider the regularity, overstrength, redundancy, and ductility of the structure.

Elements not part of the Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS), including those identified in the California Administrative Code Chapter 6, Article 10, shall be evaluated using seismic forces and the requirements of this code for new general acute care hospital buildings.
