may be considered as uniform buildings without setbacks providing
other irregularities as defined in this section do not exist .
"3. STRUCTURES HAVING IRREGULAR SHAPES OR FRAMING
SYSTEMS. The distribution of the lateral forces in structures
which have highly irregular shapes, large differences in lateral
resistance or stiffness between adjacent stories or other unusual
structural features shall be determined considering the dynamic
characteristics of the structure.
114 . DISTRIBUTION OF HORIZONTAL SHEAR. Total shear

"5. HORIZONTAL TORSIONAL MOMENTS. Provisions shall be
made for the increase in shear resulting from the horizontal
torsion due to an eccentricity between the center of mass and
the center of rigidity. Negative torsional shears shall be
neglected. Where the vertical resisting elements depend on

resisting elements shall be capable of resisting a torsional
moment assumed to be equivalent to the story shear acting with

building dimension at that level .
" (e) OVERTURNING. Every building or structure shall be

governs .
"At any level the incremental changes of the design
overturning moment, in the story under consideration, shall be
distributed to the various resisting elements in the same pro-
portion as the distribution of the shears in the resisting
system. Where other vertical members are provided which are
capable of partially resisting the overturning moments, a re-
distribution may be made to these members if framing members
of sufficient strength and stiffness to transmit the required
loads are provided.

The distribution of these forces shall be according
to the gravity loads pertaining thereto.
" (h) DRIFT AND BUILDING SEPARATIONS. Lateral deflections
or drift of a story relative to its adjacent stories shall not
exceed 0. 005 times the story height unless it can be demonstrated

multiplied by (1. 0/K) to obtain the drift . The ratio (1. 0/K)
shall be not less than 1. 0 .
23.

constructed to act as an integral unit in resisting horizontal
forces unless separated structurally by a distance sufficient
to avoid contact under deflection from seismic action or wind
forces .
" (i) ALTERNATE DETERMINATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SEISMIC
FORCES. Nothing in Section 2314 shall be deemed to prohibit
the submission of properly substantiated technical data for
establishing the lateral forces and distribution by dynamic
analyses, in such analyses the dynamic characteristics of the
structure must be considered.

lateral forces. The rigidity of other elements shall be consi-
dered in accordance with Section 2314 (e) 4 .
"E. Moment resisting space frames and ductile moment
resisting space frames may be enclosed by or adjoined by more

resisting lateral forces where it can be shown that the action or
failure of the more rigid elements will not impair the vertical
and lateral load resisting ability of the space frame.

forced concrete (complying with Section 2626 for buildings in
Seismic Zones No. 2 and No . 3 or with Section 2625 for buildings
in Seismic Zone No. 1) , as appropriate, shall apply to all
structural elements below the base which are required to trans-
mit to the foundation the forces resulting from lateral loads.
