When nonlinear analysis is used to satisfy the requirements of these Provisions, it shall be performed in accordance with the applicable building code and Appendix 1.
User Note: ASCE/SEI 7, Chapter 16, includes requirements for using nonlinear response history analysis procedures for seismic design. ASCE/SEI 7 provides requirements for calculating seismic demands under maximum considered earthquake ground motion shaking intensities and acceptance criteria for story drifts, required strengths for force-controlled actions, and inelastic deformations in deformation-controlled components.
