Hi all

According to ASCE-7-2010  sec.  12.3.4  if one wants to determine the redundancy factor {RHO}, we should calculate  the ratio  height / length of a shear wall  {H/L-to show if the wall is squat or not } , while the height is defined as the H of one story ,and not the total height .where does it come from ?

why do not  we considered  the total height of the shear wall ?
