Hi, I am attaching my calculation for calculation of in-plane seismic shear loads to parallel wall. Effective Seismic weight of building comprised of 18" reinforced concrete walls, 10" masonry walls and non-composite roof is 266 kips. Assuming the structure to be rigid, I am getting 88/wall of...
Question:
Is there a code limitation on how many Welded Wire Meshes can be combined together to attain required Moment Strength in a wall in single layer?
Example Discussion
If moment strength of a welded mesh required is 0.15 sq. in
Combing 3 layers of welded wire meshes 12x12 W5/W5 will = 3...
