L--- --
I-
"Section 2311 (a) LUFMAT BRACING.
Every building and every portion thereof, except
Type IV and V buildings and all one story buildings v &ieh
are lees than twenty (20) feet in height shall be designed
and contracted with bracing to resist the stresses pro-
duced by lateral forces as provided in this Section. The
stresses shall be calculated as the effects of a force
applied horizontally at each floor or roof level above the
foundation, such force to be proportional to the total dead
plus live load of the building above any given plane and
shall be considered as concentrated at sash floor or roof
level. Where the design live load specified in Section
2304 for a particular building or portion thereof is fifty
(50) pounds per square foot or less, such live load may be
disregarded in tit's computation of the lateral forces re-
quired by this Secti on. The full value or all live load s
specified in Section 2304 more than fifty (50) pounds per
square foot shall be used in such computation. The force
shall be assumed to come from a direction at right angles
to any elevation of the building.
All bracing systems shall be located symmetrically
about the center of mass of the buiMing ani shall be of
sufficient extent and detail to safely move the whole mass
of the building. No system can be used vdhich provides only
for a small assumed movement of the foundation, or for only
a small assumed amplitude of vibration or movement. The
stresses to be provided for must be those which would be
produced if the stricture were subject to an unlimited
translation under the shear specified in paragraphs one
and two of this Section.
The factors to be employed to fix the lateral
force shall vary with the character of the f oundati on
2-
material and shall be as follows:
1. When the foundation rests upon material upon
Which a load of two (2) or more tons per square f Oct
is allowed, the horizontal force to be applied at
any plane shall be assumed as seven and one -half
per cent (7 1/2 %) of the total dead load plus the
live load of the building above that plane.
2. When the foundation rests upon material upon
...a _ which a load of less than two (2) tons per square
foot is allowed, the horizontal force to be applied
at any plane shall be as sums d as ten per cent (10 %)
of the total dead load plus the live load of the
building above that plane. All buildings on pile
foundations shall be included in this class.
Where the design of a Type I or II building
includes isolated footings, such footings shall be oom-
pYetely interoonnected in two directions approximately at
right angles to each other. Each such interconneoting
member shall be capable of transmitting either by tension
1259
or compression the above seven and one half per cent
(7 1/2 f) or ten per cent (10 f) of vertical load of the
heavier only of the two footings it connects. The minimum
gross size of each such member shall be twelve inches by
twelve inches (12" x 12 ") and shall be reinforced with not
less than the minimum reinforcement specified in Section 2621.
With each set of plans filed, a brief statement
of the following items shall be included:
(a) A summation of the dead and live load of the
building; floor by floor; which was used in figuring
the shears for ihich t ha building is designed.
3-
I:< 6O
(b) A brief desoription of the bracing system used;
the manner in which the designer expects sash system
to act, and a. clear statement of any assumptions used,
Assumption as to location of all points of counter-
flexure in members must be stated.
(c) Sample calculation of a typioal bent.
Stresses in structural steel due to earthquake
forces combined with other forces shall not exceed by more
than fifty per cent (50 %) the allowable working stresses
specified in Section 2702 and 2710, except that rivets may
be stressed to fourteen thousand (14,000) pounds per square
inch in tension. Tension and /or shear in briok walls and
piers shall not exceed forty (40) pounds per square inch
of net cross sectional area. The allowable unit shear in
reinforced concrete walls eight (8) inches or more in .
thickness shall not exceed four hundredths (o.04) of the
ultimate compressive strength of the concrete. Stresses
in all other materials shall not exceed by more than thirty -
three and one -third per cent (33 1/3 %) the allowable
working stresses permitted in this Code.
(b) BOBD IM AND TYING.
All buildings shall be firmly bonded and tied
together as to their parts ant each one as a vf:ole in such
manner that the structure will act as a unit.
All veneer finish, cornices and ornamental details
shall be bonded in the structure so as to form an integral
part of it. This applies to the interior as well as to
the exterior of the building.
Bearing walls and other walls of unit masonry
construction dhall be tied together at the level of each
floor line from outside to outside of the structure by c ontinu-
t 3
ous iron rods or other bonds of continuous strength and they
1 4-
1261
shall be tied to all vertical partition galls wherever
practicable.
-Nw (c) In the construction of all fire galls,
towers, friezes, cornices; signs, overhanging or protrud-
ing objeots, water towers, penthouses, eta., a factor of
100% against lateral forces shall be employed.
(d) In view of events intervening between the
original adoption of the Uniform Building Code, of nhieth
this amendment is made a part and the date of the adoption
of this amending ordinance, the use of lime mortar, as
specified in Section 2409 of said Code, is hereby prohibited."
URCTION 2. That said Ordinance No. 174, so passed
and adopted, and the Uniform Building Code, adopted by said
Ordinance No. 174 by reference; as amerded to date, be, and
