Where the calculated fundamental period exceeds CuTa in a given direction, CuTa shall be used in lieu of T in that direction. Where the combined response for the modal base shear (Vt) is less than 100% of the calculated base shear (V) using the equivalent lateral force procedure, the forces shall be multiplied by V∕Vt
where
V = the equivalent lateral force procedure base shear, calculated in accordance with this section and Section 12.8, and
Vt = the base shear from the required modal combination.
