design, deformation compatibility, basic, vertical and <br />alternate load combinations, horizontal distribution, <br />horizontal torsional moments and story drift as well as <br />allowable stress design be of the highest standard followed <br />by that the most current national standards. Plans for <br />building construction in the City must be as clear as <br />possible to translate the professional designers ideas into <br />three dimensional reality and for construction personnel to <br />follow. Plan details then are critical to attain the proper <br />construction as designed and required details and <br />information on plans is a necessity. Stucco and gypsum <br />board walls used to counter the seismic forces and used as <br />bracing or as shear walls proved to be inadequate and <br />performed poorly. The shear values for gypsum wallboard <br />and portland-cement stucco contained in the Code are based <br />on mono-directional testing. It is appropriate to limit the <br />use of these types of walls used to resist shear forces until <br />cyclic testing is performed and evaluated. <br /> <br />5.
