General
Section 9.6 establishes minimum design criteria
for Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical and nonstructural systems, components, and elements
permanently attached to structures
Minimum force requirements
Seismic relative displacement requirements
Component Importance factor (Ip)

Overview of requirements for Architectural,
General
Section 9.6.1
Establishes minimum equivalent static force levels and
displacements for the design of components and their
attachments to the structure
The functional and physical interrelationship of
components and their effect on each other shall be
designed so that the failure of an essential or
nonessential component shall not cause the failure of a
nearby essential architectural, mechanical, or electrical
component.
Exempt Components
1. Components in Seismic Design Category (SDC)
A
2. Architectural components in SDC B except
parapets supported by bearing or shear walls
with Ip = 1.0
3. Mechanical and electrical components in
SDC B
4. Mechanical and electrical components in
SDC C, Ip = 1.0
Parapet Failure
Exempt Components
5. Mechanical and electrical components in SDC
