Sketch 2 NOTE: Shear Wall load shown is LRFD loading and DOES NOT INCLUDE the seismic load due to the weight of the shea
GIVEN: 2-Story shear wall sketch is shown Froof = 12,000 lbs (LRED Load, does not include seismic load from shear wall) Ffloor = 6,000 lbs (LRFD Load, does not include seismic load from shear wall) Roof DL on shear wall = 200 plf Roof LL on shear wall = 300 plf Floor DL on shear wall = 100 plf Floor LL on shear wall = 500 plf Wall DL = 20 psf F/W roof = 0.3 (ratio of (ZF/EW)/(F/W) = 1.0) F/W floor = 0.2 (ratio of (EF/EW)/(F/W) = 1.4) DETERMINE: (1) Unit shear in the second floor shear walls. (5 points) (2) Sheathing, fastener size and fastener spacing in second floor shear wall A. (5 points) (3) Unit shear in the first floor shear walls. (5 points) (4) Sheathing, fastener size and fastener spacing in the first floor shear wall A. (5 points) (5) Draw Free Body diagram for shear wall B (show clearly all loads) (10 points) (6) Determine maximum Tension and Compression forces in boundary members of shear wall B1 at ground floor level. (Combination of Dead, Live and Seismic Load) (5 points). (7) Draw axial forces diagram for the drag strut of the Ground floor shear walls and floor diaphragm and determine maximum drag strut force. (5 points) (8) Design the drag strut nail splice at maximum tension force location. (5)
