Currently lost in the code a little bit and had some questions about how all of the items in the title relate to each other.
So we are trying to solve two things for a tier 2 check withing ASCE 41-17:
1. If the existing connection between a concrete wall and the diaphrapm is adequate to resist...
All,
Just wanted to post I found an answer to item number 1. "Controlled by" is determined by the limit state of the wall. You solve for your flexural capacity for the wall per section 11.3.4.2.1 and your shear capacity of the wall per section 11.3.4.2.2 (Both of which state to use the...
Hello,
I'm currently working on a tier 3 seismic retrofit of an existing 1 story CMU building. When I originally ran through equation (7-21) I used Table 7-3 to obtain a value for my C1C2 factor. At the time this got me C1C2 = 1.4.
Going through the building though I realize I may have...
Hello all,
I'm looking at designing some components and cladding (Metal studs) for a project right now. The building is enclosed, class B, flat roof and with a Velocity pressure of 31.3 psf according to equation 30.3-1. I'm using ASCE 7-10 section 30.4 to solve for my values
I'm currently...
Hello,
I am designing a metal stud wall with brick veneer on the face of the first floor, on one edge of the building, resting on the slab. The stud system sits outside of the building and is attached back with clips, so the first floor studs are attached to the underside of the second floor...
Hey,
So I have a question about ACI 318 Appendix D.
When checking D6.2 the commentary on page 430 (318-08) states that, "One assumption of the distribution of forces indicates that half the shear would be critical on the front anchor and its projected area." Is this the case for infinite...
