15 Effects of Air Gap on Horizontal, Vertical Forces - Horizontal force increases as air gap decreases. Research Horizontal Accomplishments Force - The maximum vertical force is found when the air gap is zero. - In some cases vertical force can exceed horizontal force Vertical Force - There are limited provision in FEMA 55 or ASCE 7-16 to estimate these forces 15
