Paraphrase of IBC 2003 Section 1620.2.9:
Columns subject to vertical reactions from discontinuous walls or frames...shall resist special seismic combinations of 1605.4.
My question is:
Can someone show me a graphical representation (or a link to this subject) of which columns are subject to this requirement?
Here is an example of a bracing line:
There is a picture in the code (Figure 1620.2.9) that shows a couple of examples but I am dealing with an industrial structure that has vertical bracing in some bays and not others and where to apply these special combinations is not clear from the code.
