I am designing a concrete wall which carries a transfer beam supporting a planted/floating column.
ASCE7 mentions the wall should be designed for seismic load with overstrength factor. Now, my question is does all the seismic load resisted by the wall (coming all the way up from uppermost level) need to be amplified? Or only that seismic load imparted by the transfer beam?
