remaining structural system. Where the forces associated with the irregularity are resisted by a structural system designed in accordance with [accepted engineering practice] the Building Code, Chapter 5A, Hawai`i County Code, the remainder of the building shall be permitted to be designed using the provisions of this code. 1. Shear wall or braced wall offsets out of plane. Conditions where exterior shear wall lines or braced wall panels are not in one plane vertically from the foundation to the uppermost story in which they are required see Figure R301.2.2.6(1). 3 E----- -------OUT OF PLANE OFFSET IN EXTERIOR BRACED WALL PANELS • SECTION VIEW SECTION VIEW Figure R301.2.2.6(1) Braced Wall Panels Out of Plane Exception: For wood light-frame construction, floors with cantilevers or setbacks not exceeding four times the nominal depth of the wood floor joists, see Figure R301.2.2.6(2), are permitted to support braced wall panels that are out of plane with braced wall panels below provided that all of the following are satisfied: 1. Floor joists are nominal 2 inches by 10 inches (51 mm by 254 mm) or larger and spaced not more than 16 inches (406 mm) on center. 2. The ratio of the back span to the cantilever is not less than 2 to 1. 3. Floor joists at ends of braced wall panels are doubled. 4. For wood-frame construction, a continuous rim joist is connected to ends of cantilever joists. Wherespliced, the rim joists shall be spliced using a galvanized metal tie not less than 0.058 inch (1.5 mm) (16 gage) and 1-1/2 inches (38 mm)wide fastened with six 16d nails on each side of the splice; or a block of the same size as the rim joist and of sufficient length to fit securely between the joist space at which the splice occurs, fastened with eight 16d nails on each side of the splice. 18
