0305 WIND LOADS
0305.1 GENERAL
0305.1.1 Scopes
(1) This Section describes minimum wind load requirements for the
design of buildings and other structures that respond elastically in
wind actions.
(2) Design wind loads for wind force resisting main-frames shall be
applied to the design of structural frames of buildings.
(3) Design wind loads on claddings shall be applied to the design of
claddings, surface finishing-materials of buildings and wind force
resisting sub-frames to support claddings (just called “claddings”
hereafter).
0305.1.2 Fundamental Principles

(1) Design wind loads shall be classified into horizontal design wind
loads for wind force resisting main-frames of buildings, design wind
loads for structural roof frames, and design wind loads for claddings
individually. Their respective design wind loads shall be calculated
by the product of design wind force or design wind pressure and
the projected area.
(2) Design wind pressures for wind force resisting main-frames of
buildings shall be generally calculated from the product of the
design velocity pressure, the gust effect factor, the wind force or
pressure coefficient and the projected area. However, for estimating
wind load of partially opened buildings and roofs, the effect of
internal pressure should be accounted.
(3) Design wind loads on claddings of buildings shall be calculated from
the product of the design velocity pressure and peak external
pressure coefficient or peak internal pressure coefficient, which
accounts for simultaneously both of gust effect factor and external
pressure coefficient or internal pressure coefficient.
(4) Design velocity pressure shall be calculated by the product of air
density and square of design wind speed.
(5) The reference height shall be generally defined as the mean roof
height of the building. Wind loads may be calculated based on the
velocity pressure at this reference height.
(6) Wind load calculating methods prescribed in this section shall be
only applied to estimating along wind loads due to the turbulence of
the wind flow.
0305.1.3 Wind Lads for Reflecting Special Consideration

Special wind loads, which account for the particular phenomena of
buildings and other structures due to wind actions, shall be
recommended when the buildings or other structures under consideration
satisfy one or more of the following conditions.
0305.1.3.1 Buildings to Take Wind Induced Vibration into Consideration

For flexible buildings having very large aspect ratios and satisfying
following criteria (1) and (2), wind tunnel tests shall be conducted to
investigate across-wind vibration and torsional vibration, and then wind
loads shall be calculated using wind tunnel test results.

0305.1.3.2 Special Structural Roof Frames and Claddings

Appropriate wind tunnel tests shall be conducted when the buildings or
other structures under consideration satisfy one or more of the following
conditions: structures are light in weight and very low in stiffness like
in large span suspension membrane roofs, cable roofs, and large span
suspension roofs that aeroelastic instability in roof frames can occur or
vibration of inappropriate cladding may be expected by construction
methods.
0305.1.3.3 Construction Site Taking Place the Convergence Effect

When construction site may be located to cause severe convergence
effect by surrounding topographies or structures, the convergence effect
should be investigated by appropriate wind tunnel test study.
0305.1.3.4 Buildings Taking into Account Interference Effect

When wind load on existing buildings may be increased by new
buildings constructed nearby, appropriate wind tunnel tests shall be
conducted to investigate the interference effect between existing buildings
and nearby new buildings.
0305.1.3.5 Buildings Having Shape which Differs Significantly from a

Uniform Rectangular Prism.
When the buildings under consideration have a shape which differs
significantly from a uniform rectangular prism so that it is inappropriate
to apply this section, wind tunnel tests shall be conducted to estimate
wind load for buildings.

0306.4.1 General
Each structure shall be assigned a Seismic Design Category based on its
occupancy and site conditions. Seismic Design Categories are used in
this code to determine permissible structural systems, limitations on
height and irregularity, those components of the structure that must be
designed for seismic resistance, and the types of lateral force analysis
that must be performed.
0306.4.2 Seismic Use Groups and Occupancy Importance Factors

Each structure shall be assigned a Seismic Use Group and an
Occupancy Importance Factor based on the importance of the building
structures in accordance with <Table 0306.4.1>. Where a structure is
occupied for two or more occupancies not included in the same
Importance, the structure shall be assigned the classification of the
highest Importance corresponding to the various occupancies. However,
where structures have two or more portions that are structurally
separated in accordance with Section 0306.8, each portion shall be
separately classified. Where a structurally separated portion of a structure
provides required access to, required egress from, or shares life safety
components with another portion having a higher Importance, both
portions shall be assigned the higher Importance.

For rigid diaphragms, the seismic design story shear,   , shall be
distributed to the vertical elements of the seismic force-resisting system
in the story under consideration based on the relative lateral stiffness of
the vertical resisting elements and the diaphragm.
0306.5.6.2 Flexible Diaphragm

For rigid diaphragms, the distribution of lateral forces at each level shall
consider the effect of the horizontal torsion. The horizontal torsion
consists of the inherent torsional moment,   , and the accidental
torsional moments,   . The inherent torsional moment,   , results from
the eccentricity between the locations of the center of mass and the
center of rigidity. The accidental torsional moment,   , is caused by an
assumed displacement of the mass each way from its actual location by
a distance equal to 5 percent of the dimension of the structure
perpendicular to the direction of the applied forces. The accidental
eccentricity shall be considered in both orthogonal directions.
0306.5.6.4 Amplification of Torsion

The torsional amplification factor,   , is not required to exceed 3.0. The

more severe loading for each element shall be considered for design.
0306.5.6.5 Overturning Moment

The structure shall be designed to resist overturning effects caused by
the seismic forces determined in Section 0306.5.

line interpolation for stories between the 20th and 10th
stories below the top.
0306.5.7 Story Drift Determination and P-Delta Effects
0306.5.7.1 Story Drift Determination

The design story drift, Δ , shall be computed as the difference of the
deflections at the center of mass at the top and bottom of the story
under consideration. Where allowable stress design is used, Δ shall be
computed using the strength level seismic forces without reduction factor
0.7. For structures assigned to Seismic Design Category C or D having
irregularity Type H-1 of <Table 0306.4.4>, the design story drift, Δ ,
shall be determined as the largest difference of the deflections along any
of the edges of the structure at the top and bottom of the story under
consideration.
The deflections of level  at the center of the mass,  , shall be

compliance with the story drift limits of Section 0306.4.6, it shall be
permitted to determine the elastic drifts, δ  , using seismic design forces

(3) Where the stability coefficient,  , is greater than 0.1 but less than or
equal to  max, the incremental factor related to P-delta effects on
displacements and member forces shall be determined by rational
analysis. Alternatively, it is permitted to multiply displacements and
member forces by the amplification factor       .

0306.5.8 Soil Structure Interaction

In the structural analysis, foundation models shall incorporate fixed end
supports or foundation stiffnesses computed by established principles of
foundation mechanics. Where lateral displacement of the basement is
restricted by the adjacent foundation, stiffness of the foundation shall be ignored.
0306.6 SEISMIC FORCE-RESISTING SYSTEM

The appropriate response modifications coefficient,  , system overstrength
factor, Ω , and the deflection amplification factor,  , indicated in <Table
0306.6.1> shall be used in determining the base shear, element design
forces, and design story drift.
Seismic force-resisting systems that are not contained in <Table 0306.6.1>
shall be permitted if analytical and test data establish the dynamic
characteristics and demonstrate the lateral force resistance and energy
dissipation capacity to be equivalent to the structural systems listed in
<Table 0306.6.1> for equivalent values of response modification coefficient,  ,
system overstrength factor, Ω , and the deflection amplification factor,  .
0306.6.1 Dual system

The total seismic force resistance is to be provided by the combination
of the moment frames and the shear walls or braced frames in
proportion to their rigidities. For a dual system, the moment frames shall
be capable of resisting at least 25 percent of the design seismic forces.

direction, the value of the response modification coefficient,  , used in
that direction shall not be greater than the least value of any of the
systems utilized in the same direction.
0306.6.3 Combinations of Framing Systems

Different seismic force-resisting systems are permitted to be used to
resist seismic forces along the two orthogonal axes of the structure.
Where different systems are used, the respective  , Ω , and 
coefficients shall apply to each system, including the limitations on the
systems used contained in <Table 0306.6.1>.

The value of the response modification coefficient,  , used for design
at any story shall not exceed the lowest value of  that is used in the
same direction at any story above that story except roof story. The
system overstrength factor, Ω , used for the design at any story shall not
be less than the largest value of this factor that is used in the same
direction at any story above that story.
Exceptions：

(2) For structures with a weight equal to or less than 10 percent of the
weight of the structure, response modification coefficient  and
system overstrength Ω can be determined independently from the
overall building.
(3) A two-stage equivalent lateral force procedure is permitted to be
used for structures having a flexible upper portion above a rigid
lower portion, provided that the design of the structure complies
with the following:
① The stiffness of the lower portion must be at least 10 times the
stiffness of the upper portion.
② The period of the entire structure shall not be greater than 1.1
times the period of the upper portion considered as a separate
structure fixed at the base.
③ The flexible upper portion shall be designed as a separate stru-
cture using the appropriate value of  .
④ The rigid lower portion shall be designed as a separate structure
using the appropriate values of  . The reactions from the upper
portion shall be those determined from the analysis of the upper
portion amplified by the ratio of the  of the upper portion over
 of the lower. This ratio shall not be less than 1.0.
0306.6.3.2 Combination Framing Detailing Requirements

0306.6.4 Structural System Limitations for Seismic Design Category D

Structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D shall comply with the
structural system limitations in <Table 0306.6.1> and the followings.
0306.6.4.1 Interaction Effects

Moment-resisting frames that are enclosed or adjoined by more rigid
elements not considered to be part of the seismic force-resisting system
shall be designed so that the action or failure of those elements will not
impair the vertical load and seismic force resisting capability of the
frame. The design shall consider the effect of these rigid elements on
the structural system at structural deformations corresponding to the
design story drift, Δ , as determined in Section 0306.5.7.1. In addition,
the effects of these elements shall be considered where determining
whether a structure has one or more of the irregularities defined in
Section 0306.4.4.
]]4&*4.*$-0"%4]]
0306.6.4.2 Deformation Compatibility
Every structural component not included in the seismic force-resisting
system in the direction under consideration shall be designed to be
adequate for the vertical load-carrying capacity and the induced moments
and shears resulting from the design story drift, Δ , as determined in

A mathematical model of the building shall be constructed that
represents the spatial distribution of mass and stiffness throughout the
structure. For regular structures with independent orthogonal seismic-
force resisting systems, independent two-dimensional models are

structures or structures without independent orthogonal systems, a
three-dimensional model incorporating a minimum of three dynamic
degrees of freedom consisting of translation in two orthogonal plan
directions and torsional rotation about the vertical axis shall be included
at each level of the structure. Where the diaphragms are not rigid
compared to the vertical elements of the lateral-force-resisting system,
the model should include representation of the diaphragm's flexibility
and such additional dynamic degrees of freedom required to account for
the participation of the diaphragm in the structure's dynamic response.
Stiffness properties of concrete and masonry elements shall include the
effects of cracked sections. For steel moment frame systems, the
contribution of panel zone deformations to overall story drift shall be
included. In case    effects are considered to be significant, the
effects shall be included in the analysis modeling. When the area of the
basement is significantly larger than that of the super-structure, the
super-structure can be analyzed separately from the basement structure.
