 HANGER, THERE IS NO ROOM TO INSTALL THE 2X10S?
 107.2.1.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS TO HOW THE PROCESS
 WILL OCCUR.

 THEIR CONNECTIONS SHALL BE DETERMINED BY METHODS OF
 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EQUILIBRIUM,
 GENERAL STABILITY, GEOMETRIC COMPATIBILITY AND BOTH
 SHORT- AND LONG-TERM MATERIAL PROPERTIES.
 THE TOTAL LATERAL FORCE SHALL BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE
 VARIOUS VERTICAL ELEMENTS OF THE LATERAL
 FORCE-RESISTING SYSTEM IN PROPORTION TO THEIR
 RIGIDITIES, CONSIDERING THE RIGIDITY OF THE HORIZONTAL
 BRACING SYSTEM OR DIAPHRAGM. RIGID ELEMENTS ASSUMED NOT
 TO BE A PART OF THE LATERAL FORCE-RESISTING SYSTEM ARE
 PERMITTED TO BE INCORPORATED INTO BUILDINGS PROVIDED
 THEIR EFFECT ON THE ACTION OF THE SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED
 AND PROVIDED FOR IN THE DESIGN. A DIAPHRAGM IS RIGID
 FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISTRIBUTION OF STORY SHEAR AND
 TORSIONAL MOMENT WHEN THE LATERAL DEFORMATION OF THE
 DIAPHRAGM IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO TWO TIMES THE
 AVERAGE STORY DRIFT. WHERE REQUIRED BY ASCE 7,
 PROVISIONS SHALL BE MADE FOR THE INCREASED FORCES
 INDUCED ON RESISTING ELEMENTS OF THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
 RESULTING FROM TORSION DUE TO ECCENTRICITY BETWEEN THE
 CENTER OF APPLICATION OF THE LATERAL FORCES AND THE
 CENTER OF RIGIDITY OF THE LATERAL FORCE RESISTING
 SYSTEM.
  
 EVERY STRUCTURE SHALL BE DESIGNED TO RESIST THE
 OVERTURNING EFFECTS CAUSED BY THE LATERAL FORCES
 SPECIFIED IN THIS CHAPTER. SEE SECTION 1609 FOR WIND
 LOADS, SECTION 1610 FOR LATERAL SOIL LOADS AND SECTION
