2211.3.3.4 Compression Chords
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
(Equation 22-2)
Vertical elements at each end of each Type II shear wall segment shall be designed for a compression force, C, from each story calculated in accordance with the following:
| C | = | Compression chord uplift force, lbs (kN). |
|---|---|---|
| V | = | Shear force in Type II shear wall, lbs (kN). |
| h | = | Shear wall height feet, (mm/1,000). |
| Co | = | Shear resistance adjustment factor from Table 2211.3. |
| ΣLí | = | Sum of widths of Type II shear wall segments, feet (mm/1,000) |
