Hello,
When load combinations with seismic load effects and over strength factors are used for shear wall over a beam, how do I design the beam? Do I put the tension or compression on a beam one at a time for each load case, or I put two loads since compression on one side of the shear wall...
Hello,
I am a bit confused in application of seismic load effects and have a few basic questions. For example lets say I have a 10'x10' shear wall that has a 10 kip unfactored seismic load at the top with a 1 k/ft dead and 1 k/ft live distributed load.
Q1: Should I only use 1.2D+1.0E+1.0L and...
Hello,
Let's say I have a beam that is 20' long with a DL deflection of 1" and LL deflection of 1/2". I will specify a camber of 1.5" on my plans. My question is how do I check the LL or TL deflection for a scenario where LL limit is l/360 and TL is l/240. Do I just make sure that the LL...
Hello,
I have an 8" solid grouted masonry shear wall and am confused on what load factors to use for overturning moment. The wall is 12' tall and 20' long with a seismic (ASD) load of 10 kips @ 10' and other loads of 200 PLF DL, 300 PLF LL, wall weight of 78 psf and foundation weight. In it's...
