Wall configurations vary depending on the application, and may include coupling beams. Building codes permit the use of special walls using precast concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete, or prestressed reinforcement. Building codes also permit the use of ordinary cast-in-place structural walls in buildings assigned to Seismic Design Category A, B, or C, and intermediate precast walls in some buildings assigned to Seismic Design Category A, B, C, D, E, or F. The interested reader is referred to ACI 318 for specific requirements for these other systems, which are outside the scope of this \u003cem\u003eGuide\u003c\/em\u003e. This \u003cem\u003eGuide \u003c\/em\u003eemphasizes code requirements and accepted approaches to their implementation. It also identifies good practices that go beyond the code minimum requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis technical brief is also available for download in electronic format at the\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.nehrp.gov\/pdf\/nistgcr10-917-5.pdf\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003eNEHRP web site\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis task has been completed and produced the NIST GCR 11-917-11 report which may be ordered here in hard (printed) copy format. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/4224\/4564\/files\/nistgcr11-917-11.pdf?v=1783551065\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to view the Title Page, Preface, and Contents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: NEHRP Technical Briefs are available online free of charge.
