special reinforced masonry shearwall

[Tdog67]

What criteria do I need to meet for this classification? The code calls for all masonry to be special inspected so I thought this is what I need. I am trying to get the R value for seismic above the 2 value for just ordinary reinforced masonry shear walls?

thanks

Go to Chapter 1 of ACI 530. The requirements for the various type of shear walls can be found there.

There are specific requirements for the special reinforced classification. Check with ACI-530.

fellers,

we've misplaced our ACI 530, can someone post the few pages distinguishing from special reinforced shear walls to ordinary reinforced shear walls?

thanks much
