DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 26

26 California Administrative Code Existing Buildings CAC Section 4-309(a): Alterations Any increase in gravity load of more than 5% requires member to be checked per current code. Any modifications that increase the seismic or wind forces in, or decrease the capacity or stiffness of, any lateral load-carry structural component > 5% shall be made to comply with current seismic and wind provisions. Cumulative since original construction. 5% is calculated by analysis of existing building with no alterations and compare to analysis with alterations. The force level of this analysis is irrelevant.

36 Design and Detailing Issues

37 Design and Detailing Issues Sill Plates Sill plate thickness need not exceed a 2x Gymnasium walls may have 2x10 sill plate Anchor bolt placement critical Consider out-of-plane wind Option 1 Option 2 DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 38

38 Design and Detailing Issues Sill Plates Anchor bolt layout at double sided shear walls Stagger anchor bolts or use large plate washer Option 1 Option 2 DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 39

39 Design and Detailing Issues Sill Plates Sill plate thickness? While SDPWS permits 2x sill plates, should consider 3x for thick walls or closely spaced edge nailing. DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 40

40 Design and Detailing Issues Inelastic Behavior When are amplified seismic loads (Ω o E) required for light-frame wood construction? Members supporting discontinuous shear walls Not required for hold-down, hold-down post, sill plate shear transfer, or collectors DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 41

41 Design and Detailing Issues Inelastic Behavior Should consider a capacity design approach or amplified seismic loads (Ω o E) where discrete elements transfer seismic loads and there is limited redundancy and reliability is critical Force the ductile mechanism (fuse) to occur in the shear wall that has the ductile capacity All other material design standards have migrated to this approach DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 42

42 Design and Detailing Issues Forcetransfer Shear Wall Design (SDPWS section 4.3.5) Maximum wall pier aspect ratio 2:1, up to 3.5:1 with shear capacity reduction No maximum spandrel aspect ratio Recommend using same limits as piers. DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 43

43 Design and Detailing Issues Force-transfer Shear Wall Design Piers in walls with long aspect ratio spandrels behave like full-height wall segments Pier Moment Diagrams Force-transfer Deep Spandrel Shallow Spandrel Full-height wall segment No Spandrel DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 44

44 Design and Detailing Issues Engineered Lumber Minimum nailing spacing into edge of LVL, PSL, and LSL shall be per evaluation report Typically more restrictive than sawn lumber Review edge nailing for: Diaphragm edge nail spacing Manufactured strap nail spacing Manufactured framing angle clips into I-joist flanges DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 45

45 Design and Detailing Issues Engineered Lumber DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 46

46 Design and Detailing Issues Double Top Plate Alignment Double top plate is typically the collector and diaphragm chord, need to align vertically on same wall line (e.g. change in detailing, recessed floor) DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 47

47 Design and Detailing Issues Floor/Roof Framing Parallel to Wall Limit mid-span deflection of framing parallel to wall, especially for long spans Uneven floor Disrupt roof drainage Solution: change framing direction for 2-3 bays, use double truss DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 48

48 Design and Detailing Issues Out-of-Plane Connections Check alignment and load path for out-ofplane wind load connections DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 49

49 Design and Detailing Issues Tall Parapets Provide out-of-plane connections at each balloon framed stud unless stud is capable of spanning to top of parapet bypassing roof. Top of Parapet Roof Span Span Span Ground Option 1 Option 2 DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 50

50 Design and Detailing Issues King Post Support at Opening When studs are balloon framed, provide specific king post-to-roof connection detail at large openings for out-of-plane wind loads. Ledger DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 51

51 Product Acceptance

53 Product Acceptance General Design values for products resisting seismic forces: DSA IR A-5 Cyclically tested: 100% of listed value Statically tested: 80% of listed value DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 54

54 Product Acceptance General DSA may further limit product use due to the following: DSA IR A-5 If Acceptance Criteria is not based on national consensus standard Product shall comply with CBC, DSA IR s Bulletin, etc Pre-manufactured seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) or components not listed in ASCE 7 Table DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 55

55 Product Acceptance Prefabricated Wood Connectors Prefabricated Wood Connectors DSA IR 23-1 Requires valid evaluation report Listed values adjusted per DSA IR A-5 80% 100% DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 56

56 Product Acceptance Pre-manufactured SFRS Determine seismic performance factors: FEMA P695 determine factors for the system FEMA P795 or equivalent demonstrate product is equivalent to an ASCE 7 SFRS Discourage use of some components: High aspect ratio components act like a cantilever column with R=6.5 vs 1.25 vs 2.5 Unconventional yielding mechanism Acceptance Criteria may be limiting Generally limit use to discrete areas, not entire vertical SFRS elements DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 57

57 Construction Oversight Lessons Learned

58 Construction Oversight Coordination with MEP & Arch. Paramount to a successful wood project SE should coordinate directly with MEP SE should generally understand routing of utilities in the building and below ground (e.g. electrical room = conduits below ground) SE should generally understand how the system works (e.g. fan coil / condenser) Perform regular site visits during construction DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 59

59 Construction Oversight Coordination with MEP & Arch. Example #1 DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 60

60 Construction Oversight Coordination with MEP & Arch. Example #2 DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 61

61 Construction Oversight Coordination with MEP & Arch. Example #3 DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 62

62 Construction Oversight Coordination with MEP & Arch. Provide typical notching and hole details specific to project design ( (3), ( (2)) Provide plumbing chases (double walls) DIVISION OF THE STATE ARCHITECT 63

63 Construction Oversight Clear and Concise Drawings Construction documents need to be clear and concise Details, details, details! There are typically no shop drawings in wood construction Consider knowledge and ability of contractor They generally do not understand many of the concepts in seismic design (e.g. load paths) Don t resort to they ll figure it out in the field, chances are they will and the solution may not be what was intended.
