Overturning The effects of overturning must be considered. The overturning moment at any level is the sum of the moments at that level created by the Story Forces at each level above it.

The factor, D, may be taken as 1.0 for eight cases listed in ASCE 7-05 , including Seismic Design Categories A-C. For structures of Seismic Design Categories D-F: D 1.3 With listed exceptions ASCE 7-05 See ASCE 7-05 12.3.4 * ASCE 7-05 Seismic Provisions - A Beginners Guide to ASCE 7-05 * * Seismic Design Category A Very limited seismic exposure and risk Lateral forces taken to equal 1% of structure weight. A complete load path must be in place.
