Seismic drag strut forces based on applied loads are increased 20% as per 9.8.6. Note that this is not contingent on the value of IEFaSa(0.2), as per 9.8.7.3. The legend under the Drag Strut Forces table has been revised to reflect this.
Capacity vs Applied Load
This factor is not applied if shearwall capacity is used to create drag strut forces, rather than applied loads. However if 1.2 x applied load is greater than shearline capacity, that value is used and a note below the Drag Strut Forces table indicates this.
Elevation View
The legend in Elevation view shows the 1.2 factor and 9.8.6 reference.
