Section 2305 General Design Requirements Forlateral-Force-Resisting Systems

Ohio Building Code 2011 > 23 Wood > 2305 General Design Requirements Forlateral-Force-Resisting Systems
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

2305.1 General

Structures using wood shear walls and diaphragms to resist wind, seismic and other lateral loads shall be designed and constructed in accordance with AF&PA; SDPWS and the provisions of Sections 2305, 2306 and 2307.

2305.1.1 Openings in Shear Panels

Openings in shear panels that materially affect their strength shall be detailed on the plans, and shall have their edges adequately reinforced to transfer all shearing stresses.

2305.2 Diaphragm Deflection

The deflection (Δ) of a blocked wood structural panel diaphragm uniformly fastened throughout with staples is permitted to be calculated by using the following equation. If not uniformly fastened, the constant 0.188 (For SI: 1/1627) in the third term shall be modified accordingly.

(Equation 23-1)

For SI:

where:

A=Area of chord cross section, in square inches (mm2).
B=Diaphragm width, in feet (mm).
E=Elastic modulus of chords, in pounds per square inch (N/mm2).
en=Staple deformation, in inches (mm) [see Table 2305.2(1)].
Gt=Panel rigidity through the thickness, in pounds per inch (N/mm) of panel width or depth [see Table 2305.2(2)].
L=Diaphragm length, in feet (mm).
v=Maximum shear due to design loads in the direction under consideration, in pounds per linear foot (plf) (N/mm).
Δ=The calculated deflection, in inches (mm).
Σ(ΔcX)=Sum of individual chord-splice slip values on both sides of the diaphragm, each multiplied by its distance to the nearest support.

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 1 pound = 4.448 N.

  1. Increase en values 20 percent for plywood grades other than Structural I.
  2. Load per fastener = maximum shear per foot divided by the number of fasteners per foot at interior panel edges.
  3. Decrease en values 50 percent for seasoned lumber (moisture content < 19 percent).

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 pound per inch = 0.1751 N/mm.

  1. Applies to plywood with five or more layers; for five-ply/three-layer plywood, use values for four ply.

2305.3 Shear Wall Deflection

The deflection (Δ) of a blocked wood structural panel shear wall uniformly fastened throughout with staples is permitted to be calculated by the use of the following equation:

(Equation 23-2)

For SI:

where:

A=Area of boundary element cross section in square inches (mm2) (vertical member at shear wall boundary).
b=Wall width, in feet (mm).
da=Vertical elongation of overturning anchorage (including fastener slip, device elongation, anchor rod elongation, etc.) at the design shear load (v).
E=Elastic modulus of boundary element (vertical member at shear wall boundary), in pounds per square inch (N/mm2).
en=Staple deformation, in inches (mm) [see Table 2305.2(1)].
Gt=Panel rigidity through the thickness, in pounds per inch (N/mm) of panel width or depth [see Table 2305.2(2)].
h=Wall height, in feet (mm).
v=Maximum shear due to design loads at the top of the wall, in pounds per linear foot (N/mm).
Δ=The calculated deflection, in inches (mm).
