Excerpt from Design and Tests of Building Structures: Symposiums on Seismic and Shock Loading Glued Laminated and Other Constructions
The interest in seismic or earthquake effects is not only a part of the strue tural engineer's problems relating to buildings, but, it is applicable to all structures - bridges, towers, aqueducts, or pipelines, to name some of the other elements effected by lateral force.
Other states have provisions in their codes for providing resistance to winds. California has provided for the lateral force, which ever is the greater - seismic or wind.
