All
buildings and structures shall be separated from adjoining
structures. Separations shall allowfor the maximum inelas-
tic response displacement (d

). d
M
shall be determined at
critical locations with consideration for both translational
and torsional displacements of the structure using Equation

Where a structure adjoins a property line not common to a
public way, the structure shall also be set back from the
property line by not less than the maximum inelastic
response displacement, d

Exceptions:
1. Smaller separations or property line setbacks shall
be permitted when justified by rational analyses.
2. Buildings and structures assigned to Seismic
Design Category A, B or C.

= 1.5. Seismic supports
are not required for HVACductwork with I
p
=1.5 if either of
the following conditions is met for the full length of each
duct run:
1. HVAC ducts are suspended from hangers 12 inches
(305 mm) or less in length with hangers detailed to
avoid significant bending of the hangers and their
attachments, or
2. HVACducts have a cross-sectional area of less than 6
square feet (0.557 m

1613.7 ASCE 7, Section 11.7.5. Modify ASCE 7, Section
11.7.5 to read as follows:
11.7.5 Anchorage of walls. Walls shall be anchored to the
roof and all floors and members that provide lateral support
for the wall or that are supported by the wall. The anchorage
shall provide a direct connection between the walls and the
roof or floor construction. The connections shall be capable
of resisting the forces specified in Section 11.7.3 applied
horizontally, substituted for E in load combinations of Sec-
tion 2.3 or 2.4.
SECTION 1614
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
1614.1 General. Buildings classified as high-rise buildings in
accordance with Section 403 and assigned to Occupancy Cate-
gory III or IV shall comply with the requirements of this sec-
tion. Frame structures shall comply with the requirements of
Section 1614.3. Bearing wall structures shall comply with the
requirements of Section 1614.4.
1614.2 Definitions. The following words and terms shall, for
the purposes of Section 1614, have the meanings shown herein.
BEARINGWALLSTRUCTURE. Abuilding or other struc-
ture in which vertical loads from floors and roofs are primarily
supported by walls.
FRAME STRUCTURE. A building or other structure in
which vertical loads from floors and roofs are primarily sup-
ported by columns.
1614.3 Frame structures. Frame structures shall comply with
the requirements of this section.
1614.3.1 Concrete frame structures. Frame structures
constructed primarily of reinforced or prestressed concrete,
either cast-in-place or precast, or a combination of these,
shall conformto the requirements of ACI 318 Sections 7.13,
13.3.8.5, 13.3.8.6, 16.5, 18.12.6, 18.12.7 and 18.12.8 as
applicable. Where ACI 318 requires that nonprestressed
reinforcing or prestressing steel pass through the region
bounded by the longitudinal column reinforcement, that
reinforcing or prestressing steel shall have a minimumnom-
inal tensile strength equal to two-thirds of the required
one-way vertical strength of the connection of the floor or
roof system to the column in each direction of beam or slab
reinforcement passing through the column.
Exception: Where concrete slabs with continuous rein-
forcing having an area not less than 0.0015 times the con-
crete area in each of two orthogonal directions are
present and are either monolithic with or equivalently
bonded to beams, girders or columns, the longitudinal
reinforcing or prestressing steel passing through the col-
umn reinforcement shall have a nominal tensile strength
of one-third of the required one-way vertical strength of
the connection of the floor or roof system to the column
in each direction of beam or slab reinforcement passing
through the column.
1614.3.2 Structural steel, open web steel joist or joist
girder, or composite steel andconcrete frame structures.
Frame structures constructed with a structural steel frame or
a frame composed of open web steel joists, joist girders with
or without other structural steel elements or a frame com-
