into columns or walls where earthquake actions can produce forces in columns
or walls due to lateral loading along both orthogonal axes.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that, where elements of the Seismic
Force Resisting System are subject to forces from two loading directions,
the potential for simultaneous yielding will not be taken into account, which
could lead to structural failure, which could which could lead to harm to
persons. |
