Construction Requirements - Signs and sign structures shall be designed and constructed to resist wind and seismic liforces as specified in this Section. All bracing systems shall be ! designed and constructed to transfer lateral forces to the founda- E tions . For signs on buildings the dead and lateral loads shall be /! transmitted through the structural frame of the building to the kjground in such manner as not to overstress any of the elements thereof. 1 The overturning moment produced from lateral forces shall in no case exceed two-thirds of the dead-loan resisting moment. Uplift due to overturning shall be adequately resisted by proper anchorage to the ground or to the structural frame of the building. The weight of earth super-imposed over footings may be used in determining the dead-load resisting moment. Such earth shall be carefully placed and thoroughly compacted. 1. Wind Loads. For the purpose of design, wind pressure shall be taken upon the gross area of the vertical pro- jection of all signs and sign structures at not less than 20 pounds per square foot for those portions less than sixty feet 60' ) above the ground, and at not less than 30 pounds per square toot for those portions more than sixty feet (60' ) above the ground. -4-
