June 15, 2002
Introduction
Since the conception of LA Division 88 (ASD ELF
Method) in 1981, and LA RGA-87 (ASD version of
ABK for Zone 4), there have been many changes
to the code for new buildings:
n Seismic load has increased for soil effect and
proximity of faults.
n Strength design has been introduced with the
1977building code.
n The need for URM retrofit need has spread to other
zones other than zone 4.
n Experience was gained from recent earthquakes .
2. Introduction (Cont.)
Ch.1 of 2001 GSREB has been updated to include the
above changes. It calls for the selection of 1 of 2
procedures:
n The General Procedure (GP), based on a strength
design ELF method of IBC 2000, using 75% of
new buildings seismic load.
n The Special Procedure (SP), a limit state design
method based on the original ABK research on
dynamic behavior of URM buildings with flexible
diaphragms.
Sec.106. Materials Requirements
n Table 1-D - Strength Values for
ExistingMaterials or configuration of Materials.
n Table 1-E – Strength Values of New Materials
used in Conjunction with Existing Construction.
n The materials values were obtained from
combined static and dynamic test data,
research, and engineering judgment.
3. Existing Un-reinforced Masonry
Lay-up of solid multi-wythe brick masonry:
n Bond with header bricks is required between
wythes of solid brick walls.
n Wythe not bonded with headers is veneer.
Veneer attachment shall be investigated.
n Veneer is not included in the thickness of
the wall for h/t calculations.
Lay up of other masonry:
n Running bond for hollow concrete or clay
blocks.
Sec 106.3.3 Testing of Masonry
n Mortar tests: In-Place Shear Test.
n In-Place shear test of mortar bed joint of the
outer wythe.
n Record Vtest at first movement of test brick.
n Record collar joint % coverage.
n Record test location for calculation of
overburden.
4. Alternative tests of Masonry
n 1. Tensile splitting strength of 8” diam
sample core:
n An intersection of mortar head and bed joints
shall be at the center of the core.
n Tensile splitting strength is determined per
ASTM C 476:
fsp = 2P/pa n
5. Alternative Tests of Masonry
n 2. Tensile splitting strength for hollow unit
masonry with through the wall units:
n Sawn 18” square sample tested with diagonal in
the vertical position
n Tensile splitting strength per ASTM E519:
fsp = 0.494P/a n
Location of Tests
n Representative of mortar condition
throughout the building. ( Class, Weather..)
n Determined by the engineer.
n Recorded by the testing agency.
6. Minimum quality of Mortar
n Mortar shear test value for each test:
vto = (V test/A b) – PD + L
n Mortar shear strength v t is the value exceeded
by 80% of v to . (Mean - s)
n URM walls with v t < 30 psi are not acceptable.
Repointing and retest, or replacement is
required.
Minimum quality of Masonry
n Minimum average value of tensile splitting
strength f sp= 50 psi
n Repoint and retest, or replace if < 50 psi
7. Sec 108. Design Strengths
n Refer to Table 1-D and Table 1-E for values for
existing material and combinations of existing
and new materials.
n Strengths not specified in this chapter or the
Building Code may be as specified by NEHRP
Recommended Provisions.
n Capacity Reduction factors are not used.
n New materials not specified shall be
substantiated by research test data.
Masonry shear Strength
n Determined from in-place shear test:
vm = 0.56 v t + 0.75 P D/A <= 100 psi
n Determined from tensile splitting tests:
v m = 0.8 fsp + 0.5 P D/A
Other Design Strengths
n Masonry compression: 300 psi
n Masonry tension : 0
n Foundation strength without geotech
investigation:
n New total DL may be increased over existing
DL by 25%.
n New DL & LL may be increased over existing
DL & LL by 50%.
8. Sec 109 Analysis And Design
Procedure.
n 1. Elements required to be analyzed:
Refer to Table 1-A.
n 2. Selection of Procedure:
n General Procedure (GP) is used to analyze buildings
with rigid diaphragms and flexible diaphragms.
n GP is merely the ELF method of the current code.
n One deviation: Rocking of masonry piers is allowed
per Sec.112.
Analysis and Design (cont.)
n Special Procedure (SP) is used to analyze
buildings with flexible diaphragms when
applicable. SP is based on dynamic testing of
diaphragms and URM walls responses.
n There is no redistribution of calculated base
shear similar to Building Code.
n Instead, SP uses concept of building element
response.The element response shear is an
upper bound or yield capacity, such as
diaphragm v u.
9. Analysis and Design (cont.)
n The summation of the response of the
elements will constitutes a base shear.
n When the diaphragm is yielding, large
deflections may result in instability of out-of-
plane walls. Cross-walls are used to reduce
the diaphragm deflection.
n In flexible diaphragms that stay near elastic,
yielding cross-walls also dampen the
diaphragm response and allow higher h/t
ratios for out-of-plane walls.
GP vs SP
10. Sec 110. General Procedure
n Sec. 110.1 Seismic loading is determined
at 75% of Building Code:
V = 0.75 SDS / R
S DS from IBC = 2.5 C a of UBC
S D1 from IBC = Cv of UBC
R = 1.5 from IBC for plain masonry
n Base shear is distributed according to the
Building Code.
n Sec.110.2. Elements of Structures:
n Diaphragms and their connection to shear walls
shall be analyzed and designed per the current
Building Code.
n Sec.110.3. Stability of out-of-plane walls:
URM walls with h/t ratios < set forth in Table
1-B need not be analyzed for out-of-plane
loading.
n Sec.110.5. Redundancy factor = 1, and vertical
component of earthquake force E v=0.
n Sec.110.4. In-plane analysis of URM walls is
according to Sec 112 - same as SP- using the
code distributed story shear.
11. Sec 111. Special Procedure
n Limits for the application of S.P.:
n Flexible diaphragms at all levels above base
of structure.
n Vertical lateral force resisting system
consisting predominantly of masonry or
concrete shear walls.
n Minimum 2 lines of vertical lateral force
resistance parallel to each axis of the
building.
n Lateral Forces on Elements of Structures:
n Same as GP, 110.2 to 110.5, except:
n Allowable h/t is determined by dynamic behavior
of diaphragm (zone 1,2 or 3 of Fig.1-1).
n Diaphragm deflection control provisions of 111.4
apply.
12. Cross-Walls
n Sec 111.3. Cross-walls Definition:
n Wood framed with materials of Table 1-D&E.
n Designed to yield.
n Couple diaphragms together and to ground.
n Dampen the diaphragm response, hence reduce
diaphragm amplification effects.
n Spaced no more than 40.' Minimum capacity
required.
n Full story height and placed in each story of the
building.
Exceptions:
n 1. Cross-walls need not be provided at all levels if used
only to couple the roof to the diaphragm below.
n 2. Cross-walls need not be continuous to grade under
first floor crawl space if:
n Diaphragm is anchored to foundations for shear and
tension.
n There are minimum cross-walls coupling the
diaphragm to the foundations.
n DCR of the diaphragm sections within cross-walls do
not exceed 2.5.
13. Cross-Walls (cont.)
n 111.3.2 Cross-wall Capacity:
n Sum of cross-walls shear capacities within any 40
ft of the diaphragm span > = 30% of the
stronger diaphragm shear capacity.
n Existing Cross-walls
n h/D of 1.5 to 1.
n Existing connections need not be checked if
cross-wall extends from floor to floor.
n New Cross-walls
n Connections to diaphragms to develop
cross- wall capacity.
n Design for OTM. OTM need not be cumulative
for more than 2 stories.
n Steel moment frame may be cross-wall.
14. 111.4. Wood Diaphragms.
Displacement
Control.
n Calculate DCR for each
diaphragm level, starting
from the roof level
n Diaphragms are acceptable
if the point DCR-Span is
located within the curve of
Fig.1-1.
Diaphragm Displacement Control
n Demand Capacity Ratios calculations :
n 1. Any diaphragm w/o X-walls immediately
above and below:
DCR= 2.1 S D1 W d / 2vuD
n 2. Roof of one story with X-walls or roof coupled
with X-walls to diaphragm below:
DCR= 2.1 S D1 W d / (Sv uD + V cb )
n 3. Multistory building with x-walls at all
levels:
DCR= 2.1 SD1SW d / (SSvuD + V cb)
n 4. Roof and diaphragm immediately
below if coupled by x-walls:
DCR= 2.1 SD1SW d / SvuD
15. Diaphragms (cont.)
n Diaphragm chords need not be checked.
n Collectors need be designed.
n Diaphragm openings reduces the depth D if within
the end quarter of diaphragm span.
111.5. Diaphragm Edge Shear
Transfer to Shear Walls
n Shear connectors at each edge of a diaphragm is
designed for the lesser of:
V = 1.2 S D1 C p W d
C p from Table 1-C is dependent
on diaphragm make up.
or
V = vu D
16. 111.6. Shear Wall in-Plane Loading
n 1. Wall Story Force at any diaphragm level:
F wx = 0.8 S D1 (W wx + W d/2)
Not to exceed:
F wx = 0.8 S D1 W wx + v uD
n 2. Wall Story Shear:
V wx = S F wx
n Shear wall analysis per Sec.112, same as for GP.
n Moment frames used in place of shear walls shall
have story drifts limited to 0.015 with further
restrictions per Sec.112.4.2.
17. 111.7. Out-of-Plane Forces:
Stability of URM Walls
n h/t ratios for use in Table 1-B are determined
from Fig 1-1:
n Region 1: Diaphragm is an elastic amplifier,
hence cross-walls are effective.
Use h/t ratio for “buildings with cross-walls” if
qualifying cross-walls are present in all stories.
n Region 2: Diaphragm is heavily loaded and yielding,
and already damping the EQ force:
Use h/t ratio for “buildings with cross-walls” whether
or not qualifying cross-walls are present.
n Region 3: Diaphragm is strong and lightly loaded.
Cross-walls are not displaced enough to yield:
Use h/t ratio for “all other buildings” whether or not
qualifying cross-walls are present.
n Walls with diaphragms in different regions:
n When DCR of the diaphragm above and below the
level of consideration result in different regions of
Fig 1-1, use the lesser h/t.
18. Open Front Procedure
n Single story.
n Open on one side.
n Cross-walls parallel to open front.
n Use the method of mirror.
n Effective diaphragm span and DCR for use in Fig 1-1:
Li = 2[(W w/W d)L + L]
DCR = 2.12SD1(W d + W w)/[(vuD) + V cb]
n Note: If cross wall is not at the open front,
another DCR check is made for the cantilevered
portion.
19. Sec.112. Analysis and Design
- URM Pier Analysis
n Applicable to both GP and SP.
n In-plane shear force at any level of a shear wall is
distributed to each pier in proportion to the pier
stiffness, unless the pier rocks.
n Pier rigidity considers shear and neglects flexural
rigidity.
n Rocking of URM pier is allowed after tension
cracks form at the ends of the pier. The axial
load on the piers provides restoring resistance to
overturning.
Pier Analysis
n The capacity of a pier is the lesser of the
following:
n Shear capacity = Allowable shear x pier
section area:
V a = v mA/1.5
n Restoring rocking capacity:
For piers: V r = 0.9P DD/H
For solid walls:V r = 0.9(P D + 0.5P w)D/H
Shear vs Rocking
20. Pier Analysis
n Rocking controlled mode:
n When V r < V a for each pier, the story
shear V wx is distributed to each pier in
proportion to PDD/H.
n The wall will be rocking safely on its piers if:
0.7 V wx < V r
Shear Controlled Mode:
n When Va < Vr in at least one pier, the story
shear is distributed in proportion to D/H.
n Use flow chart of Figure 1-2 as a design aid.
n The calculated shear in the piers must not
exceed pier capacities as defined above or the
wall must be strengthened.
21. Analysis and design (cont.)
n Plywood sheathed shear walls allowed for
buildings with flexible diaphragm analyzed
with SP, Sec.111.
n Plywood shear walls may not share lateral
forces with other materials along same line
of resistance.
n Moment resisting frames may not be used in
line with URM wall unless the wall has piers
with adequate rocking capacity.
The story drift ratio shall be 0.0075.
