(2) Lateral deflections obtained from a linear elastic analysis using the methods given in Articles 4.1.8.11.v1 and 4.1.8.12. and incorporating the effects of torsion, including accidental torsional moments, shall be multiplied by RdRo/IE to give realistic values of anticipated deflections.

(3) Based on the lateral deflections calculated in Sentence (2), the largest interstorey deflection at any level shall be limited to 0.01 hs for post-disaster buildings, 0.02 hs for schools, and 0.025 hs for all other buildings.
