I had some questions regarding the wind load cases for method 2-all heights. For structures of light-framed construction with wood shear wall MWFRS can the orthogonal load directions be separated to have no influence on each other due to the lack of common elements (except the diaphragm or...
Hi I was wondering if there are any good references on combining masonry shear walls and/or steel moment frames with wood 1-3 story wood structures that utilize wood shearwalls for the majority of the LFRS. Does the R value change for the wood shearwall design if only one masonry wall or one...
Are there any examples of how to apply the torsion loads to complex floor plans of 2 and 3 story residences? Would it be acceptable to break up complex plans into rectangular diaphragms and apply the torsion load to each diaphragm separately?
Thanks
