NOTE: Shear Wall load shown is LRFD loading and includes the seismic load due to the weight of the shear wall line.
GIVEN:
detail at each shear wall end. The boundary member
2-Story shear wall sketch is shown size is 4 x
F roof =8,800lbs,(LRFD Load, includes seismic load from shear wall)
F floor =4,200 lbs (LRFD Load, includes seismic load from shear wall)(both forces are the results of the diaphragm analysis and are not adjusted)
Roof DL on shear wall =180 plf
Roof LL on shear wall =240 plf
Floor DL on shear wall =60 plf
Floor LL on shear wall =320 plf
Wall DL =15 psf
F/W roof =FW roof =0.3
F/W floor =0.15(for shear wall analysis)
EF/ WW floor=0.2(for diaphragm analysis)
PROBLEM NO 3-(40 Points)
DETERMINE:
(1) Unit shear in second floor shear walls .(5 points)
(2) Sheathing, fastener size and fastener spacing in second floor shear walls B and points)
(3) Unit shear in first floor shear walls. (5 points)
(4) Sheathing, fasteners size and spacing in ground (first) floor wall walls B and C.(5 points)
(5) Draw Free Body diagram for shear wall C (6 points)
(6) Determine maximum Tension and Compression forces in the boundary members of shear wall C1 at the ground level only (7 points).
(7) Draw axial forces diagram for the drag strut of the first floor shear walls (second floor diaphragm to first floor shear wall shear force transfer) and determine maximum drag strut force. (7 points)
NOTE: Shear Wall load shown is LRFD loading and
