8.3.1 Transfer to Shear Walls

California Administrative Code 2019 > 6 Seismic Evaluation Procedures for Hospital Buildings > 8 Procedures for Connections > 8.3 Shear Transfer > 8.3.1 Transfer to Shear Walls
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Diaphragms have sufficient capacity and are connected for transfer of loads to the shear walls.

For conforming buildings, the evaluator may consider this condition as mitigated, and no calculations are necessary. The deficiency is in the capacity of the connection to transfer shear. Verify the adequacy of the available diaphragm capacity.
