Seismic and Wind Requirements

Seismic Requirements, IBC-21 Section 1704.3.2

Description of seismic-force-resisting system and designated seismic systems subject to special inspections:

None. Seismic Design Category B; therefore, no special inspection of seismic-force resisting systems are required (IBC 1705.12)

Wind Requirements, IBC-21 Section 1704.3.3

Description of wind-force-resisting system and designated wind systems subject to special inspections:

3-second gust wind speed = 175 mph (ultimate) = 135 mph (allowable) > 110 mph (allowable), Exposure C; therefore, special inspections of wind-force resisting systems is required (IBC

1705.11)
