�f F GEJMETRY: There ue no significant geom�trical'vregularities; there are no setbacks <br />(i.e., no changa in 6orizontal d'ienension of t6e lateral-force-resisting system of morc than <br />30 percent in a story relalive to the adjacent stories). (Sec. 3.3.3) <br />� F MASS: There are no signific;+nt mass Srrqgularities; there is no change of effectice mass <br />a[ r.�oro than 50 percent from one story to the ne�n, excluding light rooFs. (Sec, 33.1) <br />� F VERTICAL DISCONTINUITIES: A.II shc�r walls are continuous to the foundation. <br />(Sec. 3JS) <br />c9 F TORSION: The laterel force resisting elemenls form a well balanted system that is not <br />subject to si(¢tificant torsion. Significan[ torsion will be taken as any condition where the <br />distance between the story center of ripdity an3 the story center of mass is grcater than <br />7A percent of [he width of the structure in either major plan dimension. (Sec. 3.3.6) <br />T �% ADJACENT BUILDINGS: There is no immediately adjacen[ struc[ure that is less than <br />hal( as tall or haz floors/levels tha[ do not match those of the building being evaluated. <br />A neig66oring structure is considcred to be "immediately adjacent' if it is within 2 inches <br />[ima the number of storios away from the building being evaluated. (Sec. 3.4) <br />�f F MASONRY UMTS: There is no visible deterioration of large areas of masonry units. <br />(Sec. 35.10) <br />T '� MASONRY JOIM'S: The mortar cannot be easily scraped away Gom the joints by hand <br />with a metal tool, and there are no significant areas of oroded mortar. (Sec. 3.5.9) <br />For buildings with wood diaphragms and unrcinforccd masonry bcaring and enclosure walls at thc <br />perimeter, complete Ihe evaluation using the procedure given in Appendix C. For other buildines, <br />contiaue with the [ollowing evaluation statements. <br />MASONRY WALLS <br />� F SHFARING STRESS CHECK: The building satisfies the Quick Check of the shcaring <br />strest in t6e unreinforced masonry shear walls, (Sec. 5.4.1) <br />T � PROPORTIONS; In areas of high scismicity (A� greater than or equal to 0.2), the height• <br />thickness �ratio oF the unreinforced masonry wall panels is as follows: (Sec. 5.5.1; also <br />see Appendix C) <br />• Ouastory building; Jt,,,/t < 14 <br />• Multis[ory building: <br />Top story: h„/t < 9 <br />Ot6er smries: h,,,/r < 20 <br />T F MASONRY LAY-UP: Filled collar joints o( multiwythe masonry walls have neglieiblc <br />voids.
