Re: 2007 cbc special seismic load combinations

FWIW, we are to use IBC 2006, which CBC 2007 is based on, and only refer to ASCE when specifically directed.  The special seismic load combos in IBC/CBC are different from the ASCE.  But, I have not seen otherwise.

Should we be using the CBC Equations 16-22 & 16-23 or ASCE 7-05  section 12.4.3.2 Equations 6 & 8?

 

I do not find any reference in the CBC which requires the use of the ASCE equations. My confusion comes from the Seismic Design Manual Volume 2, Ex. 2 using the ASCE equations for the uplift of shear panel on a beam.
