Is There a Requirement for Accidental Torsion?
A, s seven has historically required us to put in a minimum eccentricity equal to five % of our building width. And so the idea heres, we're going to make sure that we consider this accidental torsion intortonal itive buildings. If you don't have a tortonally sensitive building, it's ok to not do that five%.
