Re: How to understand the article 4.3.2.4 of the Earthquake Code One of my teachers gave an opinion, I am copy-pasting the message exactly. I found out that there are two views. One of them was that the clause was valid only for reinforced concrete curtain wall systems and the other was that it was valid for curtain wall and frame systems. During the regulation speeches, I could not remember the discussions on the subject. I looked for ASCE 7-05, unfortunately I couldn't find it. However, from what has been written, I understand that this article only applies to pitched (without frame) systems and I agree that it is appropriate. Greetings
