¹ Vertical Loads are actual Service Loads. ² These columns are the Maximum Earthquake Loads as defined in Sec 1630.1.1, 1997 UBC. ³ The Maximum Wind Loads have been set at E/1.4. ⁴ The Story Drift is computed from D+L+E/1.4 or D+L+W. ⁵ The distribution of Lateral Load can vary as long as the Overturning Moments and the Story Loads resulting from the figures shown in the Table are not exceeded. "All of the appropriate 1997 UBC Load Combination factors have been included, therefore enter these tables with E, not with E/1.4.
