I just realized that anytime I worked a concrete problem with lateral loads, they were always seismic based lateral loads and I applied the text of Ch. 21. This begs the question.....if the wind load governs the lateral design, do we just use the general provisions of ACI 318-05 (i.e. Ch 10, 11, 12, etc) and NOT the provisions of Ch. 21 since it specifically says Seismic Design? :blink:
