[See Table 6 of this Article for explanation of symbols] The value of Cp need not exceed the values set forth in Table 1 of this Article. Alternative lateral force procedures using rational analyses based on well established principles of mechanics maybe used in lieu of those prescribed in these provisions. (c) Anchora eg and Interconnection. Anchorage and interconnection of all parts, portions and elements of the building shall be analyzed and designed for lateral forces in accordance with Table 1 of this Article and the equation Fp = CpWp. Minimum anchorage of masonry walls to each floor or roof shall resist a minimum force of 200 pounds per linear foot acting normal to the wall at the level of the floor or roof. (d) Level of Required Repair. Alterations and repairs required to meet the provisions of this Article shall comply with all other applicable requirements of the Uniform Building Code unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Article. (e) Required Analysis. (1) General. Except as modified herein, the analysis and design relating to the structural alteration of existing buildings not meeting the minimum standards for seismic resistance established by this Article shall be in accordance with the analysis specified in Chapter 23 of the Uniform Building Code. (2) Continuous Stress Path. A complete, continuous stress path from every part or portion of the building to the ground shall be provided for the required horizontal forces. (3) Positive Connections. A11 parts, portions or elements of the building shall be interconnected by positive means. (f) Analysis Procedure. (1) General. Stresses in materials and existing construction utilized to transfer seismic forces to the ground from parts or portions of the building shall conform to those permitted by the Uniform Building Code and those materials and types of construction specified in Section 7-5-865. (2) Connections. Materials and connectors used for interconnection of parts and portions of the building shall conform to the Uniform Building Code. Nails maybe used as part of an approved connector. 6
