�1� The other analytical procedures in ASCE/SEI Table 12.6-1 may be used to determine seismic
design forces.
�2� General structural integrity forces are applicable to buildings assigned to any SDC but generally do
connections of diaphragms to vertical elements of the LFRS and to collectors in buildings assigned
to SDC D through F for structures that have any of the irregularities in ASCE/SEI 12.3.3.4. Forces
calculated using the seismic load effects including overstrength of ASCE/SEI 12.4.3 need not be
increased by 1.25.

�4� Seismic
forces determined by ASCE/SEI 12.10.1.1 must be increased by 1.25 for
the design of collectors and their connections, including connections to vertical
elements of the LFRS, in buildings assigned to SDC D through F for structures that
have any of the irregularities in ASCE/SEI 12.3.3.4. Forces calculated using the
seismic load effects including overstrength of ASCE/SEI 12.4.3 need not be
increased by 1.25.
