However in view of the large number of factors involved in deciding the location, spacing and nature of expansion joints, the provision of expansion joint in reinforced cement concrete structures should be left to the discretion of the designer.

Since air entrainment reduces the strength, suitable adjustments may be made in the mix design for achieving required strength.

(Courtesy UCLA Department of Earth and Space Sciences) Though these systems are described in the seismic section of the standard, they also provide resistance to wind and other forces that will cause the structure to rack, overturn, or slide in relation to the ground below. The importance of having an adequate lateral force resisting system can be seen in Fig. 4-2, as prevention of building collapse prior to escape of occupants during a significant loading event is commonly accepted as an absolute minimum level of performance.
Coefficients of thermal expansion for different materials are tabulated in ASTM C1193, which also includes procedures for calculating the required joint width and range of potential movement that can impose forces significant enough to cause cracking in building elements. In cold regions, building materials will con- tract with falling temperature and enlarge the joint width, whereas hotter climates cause member expansion as temperature rises. A good, waterproofed joint includes a priming material, backer rod, bond breaker, and sealant. Masonry, concrete, metal, and wood surfaces require a primer to improve adhesion of the sealant, depending on limitations imposed by the manufacturer. A backer rod is installed at a certain depth to control thickness of the sealant, in addition to serving as a secondary waterproofing element. Finally, a sealant that is allowed to flex with structural movement, yet remain intact, is placed to fill the joint.

Other plumbing that is commonly found in a building consists of sewage disposal, water drainage systems, fire suppression, and ventilation pipe runs in order to remove odors. Fixtures are provided to supply and collect water or waste, and those for use in waste lines must include a liquid-seal trap designed such that the passage of air and gases is prevented during the flow of liquid. Figure 4-4 shows a basic wastewater removal plumbing system that is common in buildings.

The function of a commercial building is quite busy with a multitude of different activities being performed at the same time. In a typical hospital building, for example, administrative duties are carried out in one area while medical proce- dures are practiced in another and patients are sleeping soundly in yet another. Residential buildings, on the other hand, are primarily used as a type of retreat from everything else, where families can grow closer together and refresh them- selves for the following day’s activities.

(Reproduced by permis- sion of the Virginia Department of Transportation) Decks The structural deck of a bridge is critical in transferring all imposed forces, including environmental and live traffic loads, to supporting structural elements and different types have been used successfully over the years, including the concrete deck shown being placed in Fig. 5-5. Technological innovation has introduced the use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) panels that were shown by testing to act in a somewhat composite fashion with steel girders when properly connected (Stiller, Gergely, and Rochelle 2006), though the effectiveness of this behavior is not considered by many designers of great enough value to include in analysis.

Figure 5-7 Different types of concrete bridge piers depending on site and economy. Abutments and Retaining structures I!he two most common abutment types are the seat-type, which allows for relative movement of the deck, and the integral-type. Design of any form of abutment according to DOT requirements typically assumes linear behavior when subjected to load, but nonlinear behavior during a strong seismic event may occur in response to cracking and yielding of the material, in addition to changes in stiffness of the supporting soil. This has an effect on the dynamic response of the superstructure itself. When a complete structural model is created for analysis, a properly reinforced concrete approach slab extending far enough beyond an abutment can be counted on for rotational restraint and considered in determining the dynamic response of the bridge.

Some consequences of poor communication that may be experienced in the “real world” include loss of job, loss of client, failure of a structure with subsequent loss of life and finances, loss of reputation, and certainly other unfortunate situa- tions that cannot be taken lightly.
Figure 7-2 Three-dimensional steel frames can be difficult to visualize regarding support of loads and analysis strategy. not restricted to any particular assumptions of material behavior. Whether by hand or computer, analysis of structural elements involves a discov- ery of six independent degrees of freedom, three serving translation, and three defining rotation about these translational axes by which every member follows. Refer to Fig. 7-2 for a three-dimensional frame structure that would require care- ful consideration of all dimensions. As load is applied, this frame will not only deflect but also twist, and forces must be resolved back to provide supports. Under some conditions, it may be necessary to look at other characteristics to serve as degrees of freedom, which can include beam deflection shapes or mode of vibration amplitudes in a dynamic analysis. All variables and constants used in structural analysis are subject to two basic physical laws: Equilibrium (static or dynamic) and compatibility (preservation of structural continuity). Coupling these physical truths with principles of virtual work provides a basis for analyzing support of forces by elastic and inelastic bodies or systems, since the concept is not restricted to any particular assumptions of material behavior.

Rain loading can be significant on flat roofs which deflect to such a degree that water ponds during a heavy storm faster than it is allowed to run off, usually requiring a close review for roof systems with a drop of less than !/4 in over a run of 12 in (1.19°) (ASCE/SEI 7-05, Section C8.4; NFPA 5000, Section 35.1.2.8.8).

A response spectrum is often used to develop a building’s elastic response to earthquake motion as though the problem were a simple one of statics. The response of multiple single degree-of-freedom systems is idealized as a graphical plot of relative displacement, velocity, or peak ground acceleration versus period of vibration. Figure 8-8 shows the basic shape of a design base shear response spectrum, which is constructed from measured site-specific, short- and long- period accelerations that have been truncated in recognition of physical limita- tions to the maximum considered earthquake within a region. Time histories of ground motion recorded on accelerographs during a seismic event can also be used as direct input for a computer model. The base shear coefficient, which is used in common strength-based design procedures, is determined from the spec- tra as a function of the fundamental period.
Figure 8-9 Concept of lateral force distribution on a horizontal plane using rigid diaphragm the- ory. (Courtesy U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) parameters. Current methodologies do a fine job of combining the art and science of earth- quake design, but an engineer must not lose sight of the fact that a structure’s true dynamic response to seismic excitation is quite complicated. Behavior of compo- nents located along the lateral force path often changes during a strong event and it is therefore necessary to use worst-case scenarios in the determination of struc- tural response. Simplified models and assumptions are important, but an engineer can explore greater freedom in design and different performance objectives by consideration of inelastic system relationships and site or structure-specific parameters.
| Figure 8-10 General material stress-strain curve. Stress and Strain The most basic diagram found in the study of elasticity is the stress-strain curve, such as that shown in Fig. 8-10. Strain is defined as change in a member’s length, or total deformation, divided by the original length and is a dimensionless quantity. Stress is defined as applied force per unit area or moment per section modulus and exists in the form of tension, compression, or shear. Bending stress is simply an image of a tension-compression couple applied about a member’s neutral axis, where stress has zero value along this line and varies linearly to a maximum value at the top and bottom (extreme) fibers of any cross-section. It is this understanding of how moments are resisted that allows an engineer to develop unique solutions to design problems, where an applied eccen- tric force creating moment in the carrying member may actually be transferred there by two simply supported elements setting up the necessary couple, facili- tating less-expensive connection requirements.
Hysteresis Hysteresis is a phenomenon that occurs in all materials where a history of applied loading is identified in a diagram (see Fig. 8-11) as a lag between application and removal of load and is fundamental to the understand- ing of material behavior under a cyclic-type force. This lag is identified as a shift in the looping pattern that is plotted on a diagram as magnitude of force versus system displacement. The relationship can be developed from a single framing element or an entire assembly, such as a frame or shear wall.
Figure 8-12 Concept of superposition, combining the effects of stress from axial load plus bending moment. Analysis of beams that are continuous over multiple supports is often simplified by placement of live load in different spans to create worst-case effects. For example, the maximum positive moment within a span is determined by placing live load on that span as well as on all other alternate spans. Maximum negative moment within a span is determined by placing live load on both adjacent spans and all other alternate spans. At an interior support point, maximum positive moment occurs in the beam when live load is placed on the two spans immedi- ately beyond the two spans adjacent to that support (one on each side), whereas

as fixed between floors and each segment around openings calculated accord- ingly. The combined rigidity of piers in series is determined simply by adding individual rigidities, whereas piers that are stacked require a different consideration. Individual shear wall segments separated by large openings can be considered as stiffened through proper design and connection of intermediate beams or panel segments which resist axial, shear, and flexural loads. Shear wall segments that have been properly coupled together will then act as frame-type elements instead of pure cantilevers.

Figure 9-5 Example of a poorly graded project site with standing boulders and loose soil. Figure 9-5 shows a foundation that has been placed on a poorly graded site, where large boulders were simply overlain with a thinner section of concrete for footing: rather than removed: Adverse settlement is extremely likely. Proper compactiot begins with the removal of larger solids and organic material, followed by excavatior of site soils to a predetermined depth. Engineered fill may also be specified if native soils are not particularly desirable in their natural condition for supporting a structure This fill is created using reconditioned site soils or imported material, placed anc compacted in lifts of thickness ranging between 6 and 12 in (152 and 305 mm).
| Figure 9-6 General soil stress-strain curve. Courses in geotechnical engineering define mechanical properties of soil as the interaction between individual particles and moisture that is present. An approximate representation of the stress-strain properties of a soil mass is shown in Fig. 9-6. Because of its low tensile strength, soil almost always fails in shear (Marxhausen and Bagley 2006), which occurs when particles begin to slide past one another and is dependent on the frictional and cohesive strength present in that interac- tion. Modes of soil shear failure below foundations include general shear failure, local shear failure, and punching shear failure. General shear failure is identified as slippage of one footing edge in relation to the ground surface, where tilting of the foundation and bulging of the adjacent soil may also occur. Local shear failure
| Figure 9-7 Pad footing awaiting placement of concrete. A spread footing is known to be shallow when its depth below the surrounding grade line is less than the footing’s least width, as seen in Fig. 9-7, otherwise it carries the title deep. Simple spread footing models, as well as strip footings to an approximate degree, have shown that stress carried by the soil diminishes with increasing depth from the bottom of a footing (Brown 1997, pp. 50-51; Winterkorn and Fang 1975, pp. 164-166). Position of the groundwater table com- plicates this distribution, as bearing capacity is weakened below that level due to

Figure 9-11 Different load support mechanisms for deep foundations.
Figure 9-12 Soil moisture drainage system behind a retaining wall. (Courtesy U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) An active soil pressure condition may be assumed for design when the wall is allowed to translate at the top by a distance of 0.1% of wall height during back- filling. This condition is difficult to prevent, except by either a very stiff floor or roof diaphragm or wall tie-back anchors, therefore most design applications can likely assume an active state of soil pressure (Amrhein and Vergun 1994, p. 59). If the wall is restrained at the top in any fashion prior to backfilling, an at-rest soil pressure condition must be assumed. The bottom of a wall can be designed with fixity from 0 to 100%, which helps in the distribution of restraining forces nec- essary for equilibrium in an effort to prevent failure through sliding or excessive rotation about the base with a safety factor of 1.5 (minimum). Passive pressure develops on the other side of the footing as the structure is pushed against the earth. The effect of this is seen in a loading and resistance diagram for a sheet pile wall in

Understanding the Behavior of Concrete Structural plain concrete, whether cast-in-place or precast, is recognized by AC 318-05 only for members that are continuously supported by soil or some othe means (footings, slabs-on-grade), members by which arch action provides contin uous compression for all load combinations, or for walls with continuous vertica support and pedestals with a ratio of unsupported height to average least latera dimension less than or equal to three. Plain concrete columns, defined as member that primarily support longitudinal compression and are taller than pedestals, ar restricted against structural uses.

Behavior Under Axial Loading Multiple combinations of nominal axial load strength (P,,) and nominal moment strength (/_,) for a reinforced concrete column are defined along the curve of a strength interaction diagram, such as that shown in Fig. 10-7. Radial lines that project from the origin of the axes represent different values of axial load eccentricity, with e = 0 along the vertical axis and e = © along the horizontal axis. A balanced strain condition occurs at e = e, along the interaction curve, which divides the compression controls region (concrete compressive strain reaches 0.003 prior to yielding of the steel) from the tension
Figure 10-8 Bearing conditions of precast concrete sections in a parking garage. Prestressing is an operation where a concentric or eccentric force is applied in the longitudinal direction of a bending member in such a way that tensile stress at midspan (for simply supported elements) is either eliminated or greatly reduced, thus allowing full use of the compressive strength of concrete across the entire depth of an element. A prestressed structural system can be made either flexible or rigid without influencing strength through proper control of applied longitudinal force, developed by high strength steel in order to maintain the necessary pre- stressing force after normal losses occur, which can be in the range of 35 to 60 ksi (241 to 414 MPa). Pretensioning is the most common method for applying this axial force, where steel is tensioned prior to placement of concrete within forms and then cut once concrete has encased the tendons and hardened sufficiently to take up the compressive force transferred from tension in the steel.
ASTM A416 (uncoated seven-wire steel strand). Low-relaxation strands are con- sidered to be standard, but stress-relieved (normal-relaxation) material may be specially ordered. Stress-relieving is achieved by heating steel to about 1202°F (650°C) and maintained at that level for a period of time, after which the steel is slowly cooled. Either type of strand is available with a minimum ultimate strength of 250 or 270 ksi (1725 or 1860 MPa), where a strand is defined to be a group of wires having a center wire enclosed tightly by six helically placed outer wires. Finished strand sizes are available in diameters of 0.25 to 0.60 in (6.4 to 15.2 mm) and are designated by the nearest whole number in millimeters (i.e., a strand measuring 15.2 mm in diameter may be identified as #15).

Figure 10-12 Concrete bridge damage from the Loma Prieta earth- quake, California 1989. Tests performed by Cheok and Stone (1990) on scale models of circular bridg columns defined a pattern of failure when subjected to cyclic loading that has bee: noted by other experimenters. Flexural cracks initiate within the plastic region near th column base, where they gradually extend around its body. Damage continues wit spalling of surface concrete away from the reinforced core, followed by yielding an subsequent fracture of spiral reinforcing, leading to eventual buckling and fracture o the longitudinal steel. Cyclic energy-absorption capacity decreases significantly whe confining reinforcement fractures, leading a designer to the conclusion that ties or spi rals are critical to assuring good flexural behavior during a seismic event. Whether b column, beam, connection, or joint, adequate absorption of cyclic energy is critical t structural success and failure can be catastrophic, as shown in Figs. 10-12 and 10-13

Figure 10-16 Concrete cantilevered slab elements may be designed as special plates using charts or simple computer analysis methods. Understanding the Behavior of Concrete A typical moment-interaction diagram for a reinforced concrete column indicates that a moderate amount of axial force increases the moment capacity, but testing has shown that this relationship also holds true for flat plates, where inplane load- ing leads to increased capacity and flexural rigidity, though it depends greatly on shape and slenderness (Ghoneim and MacGregor 1994). Plates with large out-of- plane deflections tend to resist loading by creating a tension field near the mid- dle, held stable by a compressive field around the perimeter, resulting in increased capacity due to combined bending and tensile membrane actions.

Figure 11-5 Glass masonry walls provide beauty with structural strength, provided they are properly anchored to supporting elements.
Figure 11-6 Clean out in concrete masonry wall construction for inspection and removal of mortar and other debris. Before grout can be placed, the masonry cavity must be cleared of debris and solid mortar that has squeezed out into the space between wythes or inside hollow block. Excess material is knocked to the bottom of the constructed assembly, often by use of a reinforcing bar from above, and removed from clean outs (see Fig. 11-6). After they have been inspected, holes are covered by mortaring brick or a face shell back into place. Depending on design requirements, grout either completely fills the void or is restricted to particular cells in a vertical or horizontal pattern by installing dams and screens during erection. Since it is a form of concrete placed around embedded items, grout must be properly consolidated within its tight space by the use of paddles for small lifts or thin vibrators for larger lifts.

Figure 11-8 Masonry walls may be constructed using blocks of differing widths for structural or architectural purposes.
Masonry lintels are not required to carry the total load distributed above an open- ing, as arching action tends to direct loading that occurs above a triangle’s apex (see Fig. 11-9) away from the opening. Any load, including the weight of the masonry itself, that is located above the triangular area shown does not need to be included in the design equations. One cautious observation, however, is the fact that there must be sufficient masonry along each side of the opening to coun- teract the arch’s thrust, as well as above the apex to support the arch’s compres- sive force. Concentrated forces are assumed to be distributed along a wall length of the bearing area plus 4t, where t = wall thickness (ACI 530-05, Section 2.1.9.1), and the portion along this distribution which falls within the triangular area above the lintel is to be added to the loading pattern. This is also demon- strated in Fig. 11-9. Standard lintels are limited in length by threat of cracking

When load is applied normal to a wall’s surface, the masonry unit itself is sub- jected to compression and grout may not actually be stressed at all from flexural. It is important to remember that the weight of a wall and carried vertical loads provide great assistance in maintaining stability when subjected to lateral forces, especially in the case of unreinforced masonry assemblies, in addition to delaying the onset of masonry cracks due to a precompressive effect. Amrhein and Vergun (1994, p. 65) comments that the inherent flexibility of masonry walls perpendicular to their plane allows them to tolerate a significant amount of out-of-plane bending

One such imperfection is known as a dislocation, which ordinarily moves easily through a crystal when external load is applied to a steel system. However, when an obstacle occurs to disrupt their movement—such as the abnormal boundary that is formed when different grains come together—these dislocations build up and cause strain-hardening of the metal, which was defined earlier. See Fig. 12-3 as an illus- tration of this phenomenon. Plastic (or inelastic) deformation of the material corre- sponds to the movement of a large number of these dislocations. Ductility is perhaps one of the most attractive mechanical properties of structural steel and is defined by this ability to deform plastically before failure. Measurements of ductility obtainec

Plate girders are simply built-up beams, where their shape can be defined accor ing to stress patterns and applied load and, since the bulk of the section is place where needed, these built-up cross sections, such as is shown in Fig. 12-5, can t quite economical in carrying large forces. Plate girders can become very dee resulting in slender webs that sometimes require stiffener plates spaced at varyir increments along the length in order to provide postbuckling shear strength throug tension field action. This can be visualized as a form of truss action, where flang« serve as top and bottom chords, the web resists diagonal tension forces, and tran verse stiffener plates act as compression web elements.
The interface between base metal and weld metal contains discrete zones with dif- ferent microstructures produced by heating and cooling cycles. These are shown in Fig. 12-7. The weld (mixed) zone is a mixed production of base and weld metals. The adjacent unmixed zone consists of a boundary layer of melted base metal that did not get incorporated with the weld zone and is produced by a flow of excess heat from that requiring melting as the source travels along beyond the previous region. A partially melted zone follows the unmixed zone, but is not always present during fusion depending on the chemical composition of the base metal. The heat- affected zone (HAZ) is a much broader area, sometimes thought to include the par- tially melted zone, defined as the portion of base metal where mechanical proper- ties or microstructure have been changed in some way by the heat of welding. The unaffected base metal is sometimes labeled as a final zone in the creation of a weld.

ire 12-8 Groove welds that are in common use. When subjected to load, welds, and joined pieces must deform together and the sharing of stress to accomplish this is somewhat complex. The presence of resid: ual stresses due to weld cooling, poor welding procedures, and high joint restrain further complicate this phenomenon. Despite these complications, an enginee! should remember that the weld metal itself has a higher strength than the materi: als joined. This is due to the fact that the core wire used in the electrode is a pre mium grade of steel held to tight specifications, and the shielding of molten meta and certain ingredients in the electrode coating provide a uniformity of crysta structure and physical properties (Blodgett 1966, p. 1.13).
Figure 12-9 Buckling mechanism of steel I-girder. (From Timoshenko and Gere, Theory of Elastic Stability, McGraw-Hill, 1961) Lateral-torsional buckling of a beam is said to have occurred when deflection changes from being predominantly in the plane of applied load to a combination with lateral deflection and twisting (see Fig. 12-9), as the capacity for carrying load drops off because of significant lateral movement and yielding. Because of this complex action, bracing will only be effective if it restrains both lateral movement and twisting of the cross section. Lateral-torsional buckling strength is dependent on distance between braces and their stiffness, type and placement of transverse load, restraint of member at ends and interior supports, cross sectional geometry (some sections are more stable than others), inclusion of stiffening elements that restrain warping, material properties, residual stress, applied compressive loading.

(Courtesy U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) An earthquake that occurred in Northridge, California on January 17, 1994 led to some important discoveries regarding the behavior of steel moment-resisting frames. The focal point of this 6.4 Richter magnitude event was about 19.8 miles (32 km) west-northwest of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley and was fol- lowed by more than 9000 aftershocks (Hall 1995, p. 4).

A steel fabricator may be faced with three different types of contract issues related to selection, detailing, or designing connections (Ratterman 2003). In the traditional approach, the engineer-of-record either fully designs the connections himself or specifies the type of connections needed so that the fabricator can fully develop construction details on shop drawings that are subject to the engineer’s review. Another approach is where the engineer-of-record specifies connection types and related performance criteria and the fabricator’s engineering staf develops and designs these connections, affixing a professional seal and signature to the documents. A different approach that may be specified in a contract is that the fabricator will essentially become the engineer of record of connections Refer to Fig. 12-15.

Figure 13-2 Plywood structural diaphragm testing. (Courtesy APA— The Engineered Wood Association) Particleboard was originally created from a need to dispose of sawdust, shavings and other somewhat homogeneous mill waste. Some have even incorporated non wood, agricultural residues and blends. It consists of discrete particles instead o fibers that are covered in adhesive, heated, and pressurized together in a fashio1 meeting the requirements of ANSI A208.1 and most applications are for interio use. Mechanical properties of particleboard are derived from the type of rav material used in production, additives, and manufacturing itself. When used a: underlayment, it is sometimes advisable to provide glue to the subfloor in orde: to control some of the instability in the longitudinal direction.
Figure 13-3 Steel straps installed at wood header to jack stud and horizontal blocking in narrow shear wall. Older timber trusses used a birdsmouth-type connection between web and chord members where a portion of the chord was notched out to allow for the place- ment of the web. Testing has indicated that the basic configuration exhibits good ductility as well as semirigid behavior through rotational capacity that occurs as a function of the width and level of compression of the web, the friction and skew angle of the connection (Parisi and Piazza 2000). Modern light-frame truss assemblies use metal side plates with many small teeth that are embedded into the wood by a hydraulic press, whose design values are typically based on load- slip curves generated in a testing laboratory.
yure 13-5 Pattern of wood fibers in the vicinity of a knot A knot is formed as a change in physical properties along the trunk where a branch has become ingrained within the structure of the stem, interrupting arrangement and continuity of cells (see Fig. 13-5). Wood fibers attempt to work their way around the knot, creating a pattern of distortion that includes several points of concentrated stress. Knots affect a member’s tensile, bending, shear, and compressive strengths as they essentially create large voids within a cross-section. Their effect on reducing a
logical structural position, such as providing support for a hanging load from above the neutral axis along a bending member. Simple connections under any loading condition are preferred as there is a better assurance of proper framing in the field. Toe-nails, for example, add needed simplicity but proper installation (see Fig. 13-4) is necessary to get the most out of such a connection. These are fasteners driven through the edge or end of an attached member, at a slope of about 30° with that member, into the carrying (main) piece, though they are more effective when driven through the edge.
member’s capacity depends on size and location, shape and soundness, local slope of grain, and character of loading. After a branch has died and the trunk continues to grow, the resulting knot may become encased within living wood fibers and its influence over mechanical properties will be lessened. In bending members, a knot located within the region of tension fibers will have an impact on flexural capacity. The lateral stiffness of a member under axial compression will be somewhat reduced in the presence of a large knot.

Figure 13-9 Flexible, stiff, and rigid diaphragm definitions based on relative displacement. (Courtesy U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) A wood sheathed diaphragm fails either by nail heads pulling through the panel fac« or edge, splitting of framing members or panels, or buckling of the panels. It has beer shown, and is recognized by model building codes, that a diaphragm with applied lat eral forces in a direction perpendicular to continuous panel joints in an unblocke condition is stronger than a diaphragm which resists load applied parallel to thes joints. At high levels of force, nailed joints between sheathing and framing exhibi nonlinear behavior, except when adhesive is used along with the nails (Kamiya 1987) and are seen as the major factor affecting lateral deformation under load.

Section 1203.2 of the 2006 IBC requires enclosed attic and rafter spaces to be ven- tilated in order to prevent damage to wood framing due to environmental effects. The basic area of ventilation required is 1/150 of the total area of space enclosed, but may be reduced to 1/300 of the total area if certain conditions are met. Fifty percent of the ventilation provided must occur 3 ft (0.91 m) above eave or cornice openings and the balance taken through the eave or cornice. Some truss manufacturers provide blocks that include holes drilled for ventilation, otherwise a contractor will need to create some and cover the openings with a corrosion-resistant screen in buildings used for human occupancy (2006 IBC, Section 1203.2.1). Ridge venting is always something of a mystery when a roof diaphragm is expected to be continuously blocked around all edges. However, it is typically sufficient to provide blocked wood panel edges between every other roof framing member and simply double the nailing requirement at this blocking to make up for what was left out at the spaces.

Figure 13-16 Load duration factors for allowable stress design according to NDS-2005. (Breyer et al, Design of Wood Structures, McGraw-Hill, 2007) One of the most tricky aspects of designing wood-frame structures is the con- sideration of irregular features as described in Tables 12.3-1 and 12.3-2 of ASCE/SEI 7-05. Many of these features involve an offset of elements within the lateral force resisting system, or those that are supported over a softer, more flexible layout of framing, such as the shear wall installed atop a beam shown in Fig. 13-17. In this particular photo, premanufactured roof trusses also require

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SHEAR WALLS
by levi edwig
It consists of reinforced concrete walls and reinforced concrete slabs. Wall thickness varies from 140 mm to 500 mm, depending on the number of stories, building age, and thermal insulation requirements. In general, these walls are continuous throughout the building height; however, some walls are discontinued at the street front or basement level to allow for commercial or parking spaces. Usually the wall layout is symmetrical with respect to at least one axis of symmetry in the plan. ‘loor slabs are either cast-in-situ flat slabs or less often, precast hollow-core slabs. Buildings are
proved to be far stronger in seismic resistance when used in shear wall assemblies. Plywood is the traditional material used in the construction of Shear Walls. The creation of pre- fabricated shear panels have made it possible to inject strong shear assemblies into small walls that fall at either side of a opening in a shear wall. As well as the use of a sheet steel, and steel- backed shear panel (i.e. Sure-Board) in the place of structural use plywood in shear walls, has proved to be far stronger in seismic resistance when used in shear wall assemblies.

Generally, the more open and permeable the soil the simpler is the piezometer; fine-grained soils such as fine sands, silts and clays require special knowledge for selection of suitable piezometers. It is necessary to measure the water pressures in the pervious strata at a number of typical positions in or around the constructional site in order to:
Figure 6 — Permeability and drainage characteristics of soils
Adequate steps should be taken to avoid loss of ground from around the sump. The best method is to insert some filter medium between the ground and the sump. This can be done after the steel piling or timbering to the sumps has reached its final level. A cage of perforated metal is then installed and the space between the cage and the ground is filled with graded gravel filter material, the sheet piling or timbering being withdrawn as the filter material is placed. The method should not be used if upward flow of water from the base of the excavation causes unstable soil conditions. Also if only a thin impermeable stratum exists at the base of the excavation with further permeable beds below, there is a risk of upheaval of the base of the excavation due to the pressure of the water in the deeper permeable beds. In this case, the water pressure beneath the impermeable stratum will need to be relieved. This can be achieved by pumping from wells or well points inside or outside the cofferdam, or by vertical drains sunk from within the excavation. ee I EE EE EE There will be a risk of water bypassing the sumps, i.e. flowing between them into the main excavation. This trouble can be avoided by stepping in the excavation at the level of the impervious stratum and forming a drainage ditch (garland drain) at this level connected to a sump or sumps (see Figure 7). This method has the advantage of avoiding pumping from an unnecessarily low level and of preventing water collecting in and softening the impervious stratum at the formation level.
In all methods loss or disturbance of the ground should be prevented by the use of filters. Figure 9 — Stable excavated slopes resulting from flat gradient and provision of deep drainage trench

2.2.2.3.1.3 Laboratory measurements. Strength and deformation characteristics are obtained from uniaxial tests on representative rock cores. The quantity of testing should be related to the variability of the rock or rock types present and the size of the foundation. Rock cores should be protected against loss of moisture immediately on extraction from the ground and should be tested at their natural water content. Dried out or partially dried out rock should not be resaturated. Strain measurements should be made by electrical resistance strain gauges bonded onto the rock cylinders or by transducers between girth clamps; measurement of strain between end caps will underestimate the modulus of the rock. For this and other reasons oedometer tests are not suitable for assessing the compressibility of rocks except in the more highly weathered state. Table 1 — Presumed allowable bearing values under static loading (see 1.2.3 and 1.2.4)
Table 2 — Classification and presumed bearing values for high porosity chalk A weathering scheme for weathered Keuper Marl is given in Table 3 (Chandler 1969). A range of presumed bearing values is given in the table against each of the weathering zones with the exception of the fully weathered, zone IVb marl since in this state the marl is properly regarded as a cohesive soil for purposes of estimating the allowable bearing pressure. Zone IVa and possibly zone III marls may also be amenable to soil testing procedures and analysis (see 2.2.2.3.3). Within each zone the coarser grained and more calcareous the marl the higher the presumed bearing value.
Table 3 — Weathering scheme and presumed bearing values for Keuper Marl Curves for selected values of allowable bearing pressure against rock strength and bedding and discontinuity spacing in the rock mass are presented in Figure 1(a) to Figure 1(d) for the preceding four rock groups using the strength and discontinuity classifications given in BS 5930. The bearing pressures shown have been calculated on the basis of rigid square foundations, with an arbitrarily chosen settlement ratio (settlement to foundation width) of 0.5 %, supported on homogeneous rock. Values of allowable bearing pressure for other settlement ratios may be obtained by direct proportion and for other shapes of rectangular foundation by reducing the bearing pressure by the customary shape factors. The derivation of the curves in Figure 1 is given in appendix A.
A rough correction for the effect of depth may be made (Department of the Environment 1976). Table 5 — Classification of sands and gravels by standard penetration test
2.2.2.3.3.4 Settlement. For cohesive soils it is always necessary to ensure that the foundation is safe against shear failure by taking a presumed bearing value not greater than the ultimate bearing capacit; divided by a suitable factor of safety, conventionally of the order of 2 to 3. Table 6 — Undrained (immediate) shear strength of cohesive soils ine nature or settlement 1n Cconesive SO1IS 1S discussed in 2.1.2.3.3. It is dependent on the bearing pressure, the compressibility of the soil and the dimensions of the foundation, namely depth, width and shape. As with non-cohesive soils, for the same bearing pressure wide foundations settle more than narrow foundations and, in general, the allowable bearing pressures on wide foundations will be smaller than on narrow foundations, in order to keep the settlements within acceptable limits. The magnitudes of the settlement of foundations on cohesive soils may be estimated from the results of
Table 8 — SS grade timber grade stresses
6.7.6.2 Consolidation or compaction grouting. In contrast to permeation, this approach forces grout into the soil under high pressures, locally disturbing the soil structure. The hydrofracture (or claquage) grouting technique uses fluids that cut in the form of tongues through planes and zones of weakness in the soil. It is used most frequently in heterogeneous and lensoidal soils with fine-grained inclusions. The resulting reticulation and interconnection of veins of grout permeating coarse lenses and compacting finer zones can lead to significant reductions in overall permeability. This technique allows a comparatively widely spaced array of injection holes leading to good economy where the volume of soil to be treated is large. Significant ground movements can accompany this kind of grouting in superficial soils depending on the treated volume and depth; due consideration has to be given to the effect of this disturbance on nearby structures. When confined by substantial overburden or in deep tunnels, hydrofracture grouting can be applied using repeated very high pressure injections to achieve effective consolidation of clayey or silt sized soils by successively squeezing out moisture to stabilize them sufficiently to allow safe excavations.
7.4.2.4.2 Transport. Care should be taken at all stages of transporting, lifting and handling to ensure that the piles are not damaged. If the piles are put down temporarily after being lifted, they should be placed on trestles or blocks located at the lifting points. Considerations of speed and economy and limitations of space generally require precast concrete piles to be lifted from the casting bed to a stack and later to be driven with the least possible delay. On the other hand, as thorough curing and hardening require time, a proper balance should be struck in deciding the minimum intervals which should elapse between the operations of casting, stacking and driving. Safety precautions relating to the handling and pitching of precast concrete piles are described in section 11. Table 13 — Curing periods for use in the absence of control cubes or steam curing

‘igure 1.3 Estimation of the degree of expansiveness of a clay soil (after Williams and Jonaldson, 1980) oid ratio. If such a soil is saturated, then the load is initially carried by the pore vater which causes a pressure, the hydrostatic excess pressure, to develop. The xCess pressure of the pore water is dissipated at a rate which depends upon the ermeability of the soil mass, and the load is eventually transferred to the soil tructure. Primary consolidation is brought about by a reduction in the void ratio. ‘urther consolidation may occur due to a rearrangement of the soil particles. ‘his secondary compression is usually much less significant. In clay soils, yecause of their low permeability, the rate of consolidation is slow. The ompressibility of a clay is related to its geological history, that is, to whether it s normally consolidated or overconsolidated. The heave potential arising from stress release depends upon the nature of the liagenetic bonds within the soil. For example, when an excavation is made in ¢

Figure 3.1 Thermal conductivity of soil (from Mitchell, 1981) The mechanical properties of frozen ground are much more dependent on the ime taken in freezing and the ground temperature than on the nature of the soils nvolved. Consequently, artificial ground freezing is less sensitive to geological conditions than other methods of ground treatment and may be used in any moist oil, irrespective of its structure, grain size or porosity (Jessberger, 1985). Weak, running or bouldery ground, and ground in which the pore-water pressures are nigh, lend themselves to freezing. Soil profiles, too heterogeneous to grout oredictably, are also amenable to freezing. However, in heterogeneous soils the ‘rozen zone tends to be irregular in shape. For a certain refrigerant temperature he frozen ground is usually thinner in silts, clays and organic soils than in sands and gravels (Figure 3.2). As these commonly are the weaker strata, design may oe dictated by the former three soil types. When clay soils are frozen, vertical cracks may form in the soil between the frozen columns and the soil may bulge near the zone being frozen. The fibrous structure of organic soils tends to be altered permanently by freezing.

Figure 4.6 Excavation A was made to provide a level recreational area for a school. The ground, being near the bank of a large river in its lower reaches, consisted chiefly of alluvium. Movement started on slip line SL but was unnoticed, forit was seasonal and not very active. Later, a road was to be constructed for access to the school; this work (excavation B) was found to be impossible until the hillside was stabilized. Counterfort drains, C, were constructed about every 3 m over the length of the moving section. The depth of the slip had been found to be about 2.5 m. It eventually became possible to build the roadway
as i The effects of soil disturbance due to the installation of sand drains that can give rise to a smear zone about a drain should be taken into account when assessing the coefficient of consolidation for radial flow (Richart, 1959). The development of a smear zone depends upon how the hole for the sand drain is formed in that mandrels are more likely to give rise to smear than augering. In addition, the density and pore-water pressure of the soil may affect the development of a smear zone. The extent of the smear zone may be quantified in terms of the altered zone so that a smear ratio, SR, can be defined as

Figure 4.13 Emplacement of a sand drain. Equipment is designed to jet through varying subsoils and leave a vertical column of graded media in the ground Several types of flat band drains are available (Table 4.2). Most consist of a flat plastic core containing drainage channels surrounded by a thin filter layer (Figure 4.14). Engineering filter fabrics are now more commonly used than treated paper wrappings. Lee et al. (1989) referred to the use of fibre drains made from jute and coir which have functioned for periods of 12-15 months. In countries where these materials are abundant, the principal advantage of fibre drains is their low cost. Although the permeabilities of the wrappings, especially of paper, may be as low as 10°° m/s, they are thin and offer little resistance to flow. The permeability of the filter should not be higher than that required for the discharge capacity (Hansbo, 1979). This means that filter permeability of existing prefabricated drains need not exceed 0.01-0.1 m/y, irrespective of whether drains are placed in clay or silt. The mechanical characteristics of band drains are important. In particular, the tensile strength usually ranges from 0.5 to 2 kN and elongation at yielding is between 6 and 10%. The discharge capacity of band-shaped drains varies considerably, depending vaAnn tha hrrana nf denin aioon TE alan toa a funnthinn at tha affantxra: latarml aarth

Figure 6.4 Principle of precompression using surcharge loading (i.e. load in excess of final load to accelerate settlement). The length of time to achieve the required amount of settlement has to be assessed, or alternatively the magnitude of the surcharge, A,, required to ensure that settlement, AH, will be completed in time, t,, has to be determined. If the surcharge is left in place until time t,, then it will give the same amount of settlement as that which would occur under the final load at time t,.
Figure 6.5 (a) Time factor, T,, versus degree of consolidation, U. Where the consolidating layer drains from both the top and bottom, that is, the layer is open, then curve (1) is used. Where drainage takes place in one direction only, that is, the consolidating layer is half- closed, the curve used depends upon the initial excess pore-water pressure as shown in (b). (b) Initial variations in excess pore water pressure in a half-closed layer. If the layer is half-closed, then H/2 is used in eq. (6.4).
Figure 6.6 Surcharge to reduce rate of secondary compression (after Bjerrum, 1972, with permission of ASCE). It is assumed that o’)+q+Aq is well above pre-compression pressure, p,, in each layer (where o’) is the initial effective stress) so that the representative point C in the e-log p graph is on the virgin curve. Because secondary compression may cause large amounts of total settlement in some soils (mostly organic clays and peat), the effect of surcharge must be analysed with reference to this secondary compression. If one considers the e-log p graph, the primary compression path is ABC and secondary compression can be represented according to Bjerrum by CD. In most cases the actual path is represented by the dotted line between B and D because secondary compression starts during the primary compression period. A precompression project with surcharge is represented by ABC D’ (or ABD’) and surcharge removal is D 'E. The degree of secondary consolidation can be read on the set of e-log p curves giving the equilibrium void ratio at different times of sustained loading (0.1 year, 1 year, 10 years, etc.). Hence, due to surcharge, a much greater degree of secondary consolidation (100 years) can be achieved than without: a state which is represented by point D (6 months)
Figure 6.7 Excess pore-water pressure distribution with depth at times of degree o consolidation U; and U». For a degree of consolidation U4,,,=U1, although 4H, i: achieved, there can still be values of excess pore-water pressure, 4u,, much larger than 4q in the central part of the layer. On the other hand, in the upper portion (and in the lowe portion when both boundaries are pervious) excess pore pressures are much less than Aq Consequently, after removal of surcharge the upper and lower parts of the clay layer maj heave and the central part continues to undergo progressive settlement due to primary consolidation. To eliminate further primary consolidation following the removal o! surcharge it is necessary to wait until the degree of consolidation is equal to U2. Surcharge helps develop secondary consolidation settlement and the degree of secondary consolidation is much higher than for simple precompression. Also, the rate of furthe consolidation is much smaller. This procedure also assumes that excess pore-wate: pressures are dissipated in due time and that effective stresses are able to induce prope! secondary consolidation bentonite-cement mixture).

Clay soils are largely unaffected by induced vibrations. Nevertheles vibrocompaction is also used to treat clay soils. In this case stabilization brought about by columns of densely compacted coarse backfill (Figure 6.17 These stone columns utilize the passive resistance of the soil, thereby increasir its bearing capacity and reducing settlement (Figure 6.18). Stabilization is al: aided by the increased rate of dissipation of excess pore-water pressures due the presence of the columns and the gain in shear strength consequent upon radi drainage (Figure 6.19). Radial drainage means that settlement occurs mo rapidly. Stone columns are also a means of reinforcing soil. A large proportion of any load imposed at the surface is initially borne by tl

The presence of a surface crust of impervious material inhibits the expulsion of excess pore water from the soil. Hence, it must be removed, disturbed or fractured.
Grid reinforcement systems consist of polymer or metallic elements arranged in rectangular grids, metallic bar-mats, and wire mesh. The two-dimensional grid- soil interaction involves both friction along longitudinal members and passive bearing resistance developed on the cross-members. Hence grids are more resistant to pull-out than strips, however, full passive resistance is only developed with large displacements of the order of 50-100 mm (Schlosser, 1990). The most frequently used polymeric materials in earth-retaining structures are high-density polyethylene and polypropylene grids (see Chapter 8). Several systems of bar and mesh reinforcement have been developed. For example, crude grids have been formed by cross-linking steel-reinforcing bars to form a coarse welded-wire bar-mat. Welded-wire reinforcing mesh similar to that used for reinforcing concrete has also been used to reinforce granular soil, especially in the United States.

Figure 7.3 Pull-out tests of high adherence and smooth strips (after Schlosser, 1987). The peak and residual values of the apparent coefficient of friction depend on the density of the backfill, the nature of the surface of the reinforcement and the overburden pressure. In dense granular soils, the values of the apparent coefficient of friction, f*, are usually significantly greater than the values obtained from direct shear tests. This is mainly due to the fact that, under the effect of the shear the soil tends to increase in volume and the denser the fill the more dilatant it will be for a given stress. This volume change is restrained by the surrounding soil and the confining effect results in an increase of the normal stress exerted on the reinforcement and consequently in a high value of the apparent coefficient of friction. The dilatancy effect in a soil can be enhanced by forcing more material to be sheared during the pull-out of the strip. In the case of high adherence (HA) strips this is achieved by the ribs. Another interesting effect of shearing a larger quantity of soil is that the peak, which occurs for a slightly larger displacement, is much flatter. This indicates that the value of the coefficient of friction used in the design of structures is the maximum value for high adherence reinforcements and the residual value for smooth reinforcements. For a given density, a soil will be less dilitant if the confining pressure is higher. This explains why the favourable effect of dilatancy on the apparent coefficient of friction decreases when the average overburden stress (_ H) increases. In the case of high adherence reinforcements, the ribs force the shear surface to be within the soil. Thus, under high overburden stress, the coefficient of friction approaches tan, being the internal friction angle of the soil. In the case of smooth strips, under high overburden stress, the coefficient of friction approaches tan w, w being the soil reinforcement friction angle. The value of tan w is approximately equal to 0.5 tan. Soil having a soil reinforcement friction angle of less than 22° should be rejected

Figure 7.12 Schematic cross-section of anchored geosynthetic ‘spider netting’ used with soil nails to stabilize a slope (after Koerner and Robins, 1986) piles is strongly influenced by their three-dimensional geometric or root-like arrangement (Figure 7.13). The holes are formed by a high-speed rotary drill and, as drilling proceeds, a steel casing is gradually driven into the hole to prevent its collapse and to limit loosening of the soil. Reinforcement, usually a single steel bar, is placed in the centre of the casing. The hole is then filled with a high slump, cement-rich, small aggregate concrete. During withdrawal of the casing additional concrete is placed by pumping or compressed air pressure. This produces an intimate contact between concrete and soil, forces penetration of the concrete into cracks and fissures and, in the case of compressible soils, produces a pile of larger diameter than the original casing. Reticulated micropiles can be installed in gravels, sands, silts and clays. Drilling can take place in restricted areas and does not produce detrimental vibrations.

Resistance to withdrawal is govemed principally by side shear but an end-bearing component may be included when calculating the pull-out capacity. Anchors in such ground are designed to resist safe working loads of 80t (Littlejohn, 1970). The construction of the anchorage is carried out by drilling and driving a casing (102 mm nominal diameter) to the required depth, lowering a prepared steel cable or bar and then injecting grout under a nominal pressure (30-1000 kN/m2) as the casing is withdrawn over the fixed anchor length. a a ee a . i : a a a ie i ee: i, ae ocr fy pee

Figure 8.1 Typical fabric pore size distributions (after McGown, 1976) properties which approach that of steel mesh (Figure 8.2). These woven fabrics, therefore, can be used instead of steel or aluminium strips in earth reinforcement. On the other hand, some non-wovens have relatively low strengths with breaking strains approaching 150% and high creep tendencies (Figure 8.3). The stress- strain characteristics of fabrics provide an indication of their relative toughness. In situations where large strains have to be accepted, extensible non-wover fabrics prove suitable. Conversely, the use of a stiffer woven fabric is necessary when strains in the soil must be limited. TS scores | lee sane oben sawew eee imeorbawes lew Bice Doe wick Ta Sa cashitn be Elec ew
Figure 8.2 Stress-strain curves for various filaments (from Hoare, 1987) The peak tensile strength and strain measured under plane strain conditions offers an indication of the maximum load capacity of a fabric and the strain required to achieve this. Woven fabrics, on a weight for weight basis, afford much higher resistance to breaking than non-woven types. The latter generally are characterized by relatively low strength and high failure elongation. In general, the percentage loss in strength is much less for non-woven than for woven fabrics. However, the higher initial strength of woven fabrics must be borne in mind. The structural arrangement of a fabric may give rise to various degrees of anisotropy in terms of strength and extensibility. Changes in the internal structural mobility, interfibre friction and the surface texture of geotextiles are likely to occur according to the level and nature of confinement. In this way the load-extension and surface friction characteristics of a fabric are altered. In fact, Ingold (1991) referred to a transition point at which the mechanism controlling tensile failure underwent a change, the time at which this occurred being affected by polymer type, environmental conditions and any damage caused by construction operations. Because the tensile strengths of different geosynthetic products differ and are affected to differing degrees in different environments, the new British code of practice for reinforced soils (Anon., 1991) has adopted the concept of partial factors of safety, using a partial load factor and a partial material factor to obtain a margin of safety against failure.

Fabrics have been used to form various types of drains such as linear drains where fabric encapsulates granular material in a trench, drainage blankets beneath fills, or fin drains (see Chapter 4). In the latter case the geocomposite consists of a sandwich of thin, high-porosity filter fabric enclosing a core able to collect water. This runs to a perforated unplasticized PVC pipe around which it is wrapped (see Figure 4.3). The core is formed from an extruded polyethylene mesh sheet.

The development of the shear strength of a cement grout is affected by the water/cement ratio (Figures 9.2(a) and 9.5) and the particle size— the larger the water content and particle size, the lower the strength. The rate of shear strength development can be changed by the addition of accelerators or developers. Under optimum curing conditions, and when not subjected to chemical attack, a set grout continues to increase in strength over a prolonged period. Cements with a low rate of hardening tend to have a higher ultimate strength due to slow formation of denser gel during the initial stages of setting. Generally, ordinary Portland cement grout has a set strength at 28 days of approximately 60-70% of ultimate strength (Figure 9.5). This amount of strength may be obtained in about three days with high early strength cement.

The broader the base and the more comprehensive the bonding of the layer, the higher the structure can be made. So it is with brick and blockwork walls. As we build we overlap the bricks in adjacent layers, thus ensuring that there is never a complete verti- cal layer joined only to the remainder of the structure with a layer of mortar.

The term arises because any headers which show on the face of the wall are just ‘headers’ (whole bricks) snapped in two with the decorative header face show- ing and the rough cut end on the inside.

Fig. 2.14 Deep strip foundation. The operatives do not need to work in the trench as is the case with strip foundations. Support for the foundation is not just from the bottom of the trench but can also be from the friction of the sides of the foundation in the ground. This is illustrated in Figure 2.14.
Fig. 2.15 Deep strip foundation in shrinkable clay. Trench fill foundations do not fail by bend- ing or punching shear. Shrinkable clay is often suitable for trench fill foundations. In this case the sides of the foundations should be lined with a ‘crushable’ material such as expanded polystyrene sheet. The additional work is il- lustrated in Figure 2.15.

Each set ‘looks’ two ways along adjacent walls, as shown in Figure 2.32. To ‘see’ the outline of the building’s concrete foundation and walls, builder’s lines may be stretched from profile to profile. With all that string around, there is no room to get in to excavate for the foundation, but see how ex- cavations are marked out below.

Fig. 2.36 Traveller in use in an excavation. IIR IEEE mee Excavating into the ground for any pur- pose can be dangerous due to the possible col- lapse of the sides. The deeper one goes, and the more friable the subsoil, the more dan- gerous it becomes. In certain circumstances it is impossible to excavate at all unless one uses timbering. This is the short-hand term for shoring, strutting and waling — a range of systems to support the sides of excavations to prevent collapse and protect workmen down in the excavation. Appendix F describes the techniques involved. Shoring, strutting and waling is temporary work and is, by conven- tion, never shown on drawings. It will not be Travellers are made of timber, and the criti- cal dimension is the height.The depth at which the concrete must be laid has already been de- termined. We know the level of the top of the profile boards. The height of the traveller is made slightly less than the difference between these two levels. The traveller is used by plac- ing it at the bottom of the excavation and having the banksman sight across the pro- file boards past the cross bar on the traveller,

The pro- file boards provide us with a unique reference line to control both thickness and the level of the upper surface. Reduce the height of the traveller so that it extends from top of profile to top of concrete. Drive pegs into the bottom of the trench such that the traveller intercepts the line of sight across the profiles, as shown in Figure 2.39. Pegs are spaced out about 1 metre apart down the centre of the trench.

The thickness of any screed placed over the sub-floor depends on the purpose to which the floor will be put and the type of fin- ish placed on the screed. Insulation may be placed over the floor under the screed, in which case a minimum thickness of 65 screed would have to be laid. In addition, some thin screeds would benefit from the inclusion of a light steel reinforcement — galvanised chicken wire would be adequate to prevent serious cracking due to temperature and/or moisture movement". A floor incorporating heating cables or pipes must have a minimum screed thickness of 65.

Fig. 3.4 Schematic of cavity wall. Cavities have been set at a standard width of 50 (or 2 in) since their introduction. Wider cavities can have advantages in terms of be- ing able to hold more insulation, but going beyond 75 makes the use of ordinary wall ties a problem structurally. A wall with a wider cavity has to be specially designed, perhaps having special wall ties and so on. In addition to the structural problems, a wider cavity al- lows the air in the cavity to start circulating.

Fig. 3.6 Selection of wall tie types. Some metal ties are made of wire, some of sheet or plate. Plastic ties are injection moulded from polypropylene. All have split or shaped ends to build into the mortar bed, and shanks with various forms of drip. Fig- ure 3.6 shows sketches of several different types of tie:

Fig. 3.23 Vertical fire stopping at corners of a building. The details you don’t see are often more im- portant than the ones you do. The wall panels we have looked at earlier were all fire stopped horizontally to reduce the spread of fire up the cavity between panel and cladding. However, there is a need to fire stop vertically to reduce the spread of fire horizontally. This is done at corners; Figure 3.23 gives a detail while Fig- ure 3.24 shows a photograph. What is not im- mediately apparent in the photograph is that the horizontal fire stop is there but shows only as a bump under the breather paper — just be- low the scaffold boards. Now why didn’t the builder put up the corner ones as well, then put on the building paper? Well, the panels come with the paper already fixed in place and so when the paper from the upper panels was dropped, it covered the fire stop. Then they came along and fixed the corner fire stops.

Fig. 4.1 Alignment of joists, span and wall rest. It may seem obvious, especially after look- ing at ground floor construction in timber, but it has to be stated that all joists are built in with the long dimension of the cross-section in the vertical plane, as shown in Figure 4.1. The reader can test the effect of using a supporting timber on ‘edge’ or on ‘flat’ by placing a ruler across the gap between two books and press- ing down at the middle of the span. The ruler is much stiffer when it is on edge but is prone to buckle sideways. This is due to the very small width/span ratio. Joists of course are restrained at each end and in short spans do not buckle because the ratio is much higher. In long spans we can employ techniques such as strutting to prevent buckling. The various al- ternative forms of strutting are discussed later in this chapter.

The timber frame panel shows a double top runner at the left-hand side but uses a steel channel section to provide support over an opening under the remaining joists. See Chap- ter 5, Openings in Masonry Walls, where the use of metal sections in timber frame construc- tion is discussed in more detail.

When spans start to exceed this range it is time to think of alternative ways to sup- port the joists — in other words to break the span into two or more manageable propor- tions. The best options are to have a load- bearing partition under the joists or provide a beam of some kind. This can be done by mak- ing use of partitions on the lower storey as loadbearing partitions, as shown in Figure 4.7. The partition has a door opening spanned by a timber lintel supported on cripple studs with doubled top runners supporting the first floor joists. Note the joists do not fall directly above the studs as these timbers are at different cen- tres, but the top runner of the partition is a double layer of timber. Breaking the span of joists can also be achieved by:

Fig. 4.24 Clay flue liner. Masonry flues must now include a liner which is generally made of fired clay; a typi- cal example is shown in Figure 4.24. The liner is made in lengths of around 450 mm and the joints are joggled. Note that the joggle can be built upside down, which would allow any tars from the fuel being burned which con- dense on the cooler wall of the liner to run out of the joint, thus staining the surrounding surfaces. Figure 4.25 shows a flue through a floor and top of chimney breast, with the joint in the liner laid correctly.

Figure 4.27 shows joists fixed to a trimmer with pressed steel hangers. Note that these hangers are of thin galvanised steel sheet; that many small galvanised nails are used to fix them; and that the top of the hanger is bent flat over the top of the joist and nailed down. The latter can be seen on some of the earlier photographs.

Fig. 4.30 Posijoists. Another lattice style joist is made by a com- pany called Metsec. The strength is from the all steel construction, the top and bottom chords being made from pressed steel chan- nels and the lattice from a continuous length of steel tube bent and welded between the channels. To make the joist ‘joiner friendly’, timber inserts are crimped into the steel chan- nels, providing a fixing for both floor boarding and ceiling boarding.

Before leaving lintels the term ‘bellcast’ re- quires expansion. It is obvious how this pro- jection of a roughcast or rendered finish got its name. It is not formed directly by applying the mortar in that shape; that would not be possible. Instead, early craftsmen fixed a tem- porary batten to the masonry background and worked to the thickness of that batten. Mod- ern practice uses either a galvanised steel bead ora plastic bead, which is fixed to the wall and the render brought to that. Figure 5.19 shows a typical section and its application, while Fig- ure 5.20 is a photograph of three galvanised beads, from the left:

While a collar can also do this, the lower half of the rafters are put into bending as well as com- pression and so much stronger timbers have

With the steeper pitch, lighter section rafters, collars and hangers can be used but the ties now dou- ble up as floor joists and so must be heavier and possibly even supported at mid span by a beam or partition. Roof D also shows a de- vice from the early roofs, the sprocket or bell- cast piece. These were separate short lengths of timber attached at the eaves and forming part of the eaves projection. The pitch angle on them was usually less than the main roof, which slowed the run-off of water from the slate or tile into the gutter.
Fig. 6.6 Trusses and purlins. It is possible to do without trusses if the length between the gables is not too long, by using trussed purlins or I beam purlins or box beam purlins. Figure 6.8 shows sections through these, together with the position be- tween the gables that they would take. Note that there will still be a wall plate on top of the wall for all the rafter feet, and a ridge where the pairs of rafters join. A plywood I beam with a depth of approximately 900 and with four 100 x 50 SC3 timbers as flanges, was ca- pable of supporting a tiled roof over a span of 4000. These beams can all be made on site, the fastening being either bolts and connectors

Figure 6.15 shows the wall plate bed- ded down and two of the straps which hold it down can be seen on top of the plate. In Fig- ure 6.14 the ends of these straps can be seen

Fig. 6.17 View down centre of trussed rafters. Figure 6.18 illustrates the Fink layout and a few other common arrangements. More are shown in Figure 6.19, including the mansard truss and the attic truss. The term panel in relation to these truss shapes refers to the un- supported length of rafter in each. The first, Fink truss is of four panels — each rafter is sup- ported by the struts at the centre of its length, dividing each rafter into two, therefore four panels.

Temporary bracing was fixed inside the rafters, and sarking boards were nailed to the overall roof surface which was finally cov- ered with underslating felt and concrete in- terlocking tiles. The photograph of the roof with the sarking shows some boards missing. These were put in place as the boarding went on but they were not nailed into place. Once two more boards had been nailed above them these boards were taken out and nailed tem- porarily to the boards below. This gap gave a foothold for the carpenters to step up and complete more of the boarding. Once the last

Fig. 6.39 Warm and cold pitched roofs. Pitched roofs can also be built as warm or cold roofs. Figure 6.39 shows schematics for both warm and cold roofs. Cold roof A not the case in a roof where the structure is predominantly of wood and wood products. The ideal must be to keep the wood prod- ucts on the warm side of the insulation and to keep them protected from moisture com- ing through the ceiling finish by placement of a VCL immediately behind the ceiling finish. There has to be a void to carry ventilating air in and moisture laden air out, and whether the roof is a cold roof or a warm roof will deter- mine where that void will be. Looking back at Figure 6.30, situation B is a cold roof so the void is to the outside of the insulating layer. Situations D and E show warm roofs and the void is to the inside of the insulating layer. No matter what else happens in the construction of these roofs, the Regulations require a mini- mum 50 deep gap between the insulation and the deck or ceiling. See ig 1 1 1 ev.

One feature can be seen that is common to all man-made tiles — nibs which hook over the tile batten and prevent the tile sliding down the roof. There are ridges running horizontally across the back of the tile. These are water stops and prevent water being blown up under the tile from the surface of the one below.

In addition, every third or fourth course has to be nailed for its com- plete length. It used to be normal for all tiles supplied to have two nail holes preformed in their head. Many tiles are now made without holes as the manufacturers wish to have their tiles fixed with their own patent clips. See the manufacturers’ websites.

A further timber plate is cut to fit the underside of the projection of the roof- ing tiles — called scribing — and then nailed to the barge board with a mastic fillet on top. As it is fixed in position, the roofing membrane should be brought out and stuck between the plate and the tiles. verge; the idea of bedding the verge in cement mortar is not really feasible. It was generally only done when the projection was about 75 to 100 and an undercloak of asbestos cement sheet or of plain tiles was bedded on top of the masonry and then the roof tiles bedded on top of that. Here there is a wide projection supported on short lengths of timber — outrig- gers — nailed to the side of the first/last rafter. There is a soffit plate and barge board, the equivalent of the eaves fascia. The soffit plate is fixed to a batten nailed to the underside of

preserve the timber in the joint from rotting. The lead paint dried out fairly rapidly and the timber still rotted. Doors with bare joints allow the wood to swell and generally give a watertight joint — and still rot. Timber can now be treated to prevent rot but the timber will still take up moisture and swell to keep joints tight.
Note that the position of the brace deter- mines which is the lock stile and which the hinge stile. For a door of the opposite hand, the brace must be fitted the other way round. Most types of lock or latch can be fitted to this door but the mortice and tenoned joint of the lock rail should be avoided when fitting any lock or latch, but particularly mortice locks. offer little security and can only be used as pass doors’. Solid cores make the heaviest doors, which do offer security and are used for external doors if the glues used are weath- erproof.

Glazing So far the discussion has centred on doors and door frames, but the Standard goes on to dis- cuss glazed portions of the door and glazed sidelights and so on — the whole thing be- coming quite complex. In summary, glazing in a fire door needs a lot of care and attention. When a hole is cut into a door the core is ex- posed and this core edge requires protection from the effects of fire. Also, core materials do not often give ideal conditions for mechani- cal fixing — nails and screws — so that bead style solutions to fixing glass in an opening are doomed to fail. There are proprietary systems of high resistance rated materials which can be used to hold glass in such openings, and they

Many casements in the past have had all the joints carried out as mor- tice and tenon joints with the rounded and splayed edges mitred. With modern machin- ery cutting mating faces and the joints them- selves, variations of the finger joint are now commonplace and gluing is the favoured ‘fas- tener’. Figure 9.9 shows a typical joint of two casement sections. The joint of jambs to sill of the frame can be plain housings, glued and nailed from the back, or they can be finger jointed but the sill is not cut to its full depth.

Fixing of the balance to the sash is done with a metal bracket which allows the balance to be released and refastened to the sash easily and effectively. The balances are manufac- tured with a range of spring strengths which accommodate all but the largest sashes. The critical factor in many instances is the use of double or triple glazing.

The left-hand cord runs through a cord grip which allows the user to pull the cord and raise the sash weight, allowing the sash to be released from the cords. Figure 9.26 shows the batten rod removed, and the captive screws which hold it in position can be clearly seen in the rod and the plate they screw into in the back- plate. The parting bead is still in position. Fig- ure 9.27 shows the parting bead removed and the pocket — the access plate to the weights — which is cut into the backplate. Note how the pocket cover is cut in the groove for the parting bead. When the parting bead is fit- ted, this together with the lower sash keeps the cover in place. Maintenance work can be carried out such as replacing cords, adding make-weights, shortening off stretched cords, etc. Figure 9.28 is a picture of the joint of the sash stile and sash sill. The joint is a mortice and tenon joint with a dowel, which can be seen proud of the face under the paint.

Fig. 10.1 Illustration of some definitions associated with stairs. Landings
Fig. 10.2 Flights and landings. Landings may be quarter landings or half landings (see Figure 10.2). The Regulations only allow 16 steps maximum in any flight. Should a stair be in excess of 16 steps, it must be broken into two or more flights with run- ning landings in between. The length of a run- ning landing must be at least the same as the width of the flight.
Fig. 10.3 Open cut string stair being installed. Stairs may be built into the staircase in such a way that the strings may touch the walls on both sides, on one side, or be completely unattached. Strings against the wall are called wall strings; strings not touching the wall are free-standing strings. Wall strings can be at- tached to the wall over their length and so can be manufactured from thinner timber. Free standing strings can be shaped so that the end of each step projects over the string. Such strings are termed open cut strings and they can be done in many different ornamental styles. Figure 10.3 is a photograph of an open cut string stair being fixed into position. Note the projection of the tread over the string and the curved plate mitred to the riser. See also Figure 10.4.
Fig. 10.4 Open cut string details. Balustrades With a free-standing string a rail is required to ensure the safety of the users. This is called a balustrade and comprises a handrail supported on balusters, all exposed and fre- quently elaborately turned on a lathe. Alter- natively, a frame may be erected on the string and panels placed in the frame, or itis boarded over with sheet material, matchboarding, etc.

This is all done with the stair in the position shown in the photograph.
Fig. 10.7 Step to stringer joint. On Figure 10.7 the joint of steps to stringer is illustrated. Remember that a step comprises a tread and the riser immediately below it, glued and screwed together with triangular blockings. One can see the groove which has been cut in the inside face of the string and into which each step is placed — with glue. Once all the steps are in place they are joined together by nailing the riser of the step to the back of the tread below — with more glue. Then

Holes are not allowed in mutual walls such as we are considering here. This of course includes the incidental formation of holes due to incomplete bedding of masonry. Beds and perpends must be fully filled. Holes and cracks may also form when building materi- als or components shrink and crack. Where there is a danger that this might happen, the use of a flexible filling compound might be considered appropriate, and where the detail is combined with a need for fire resistance, in- tumescent compounds would be even better. Fire resistance
Fig. 12.1 Compression fitting on copper and poly- butylene piping. The non-manipulative compression fittings used on plastics waste pipe (they can also be used on copper pipe of appropriate diameter) follow the same general design principles but without the need to withstand more than a modest pressure. The wedge-shaped section design of the sealing ring is only about ob- taining a seal and a modest grip on the pipe. A liner is not required as the plastics of the pipe is generally quite rigid.

Fig. 12.5 Push fit fittings for hot and cold supply pipework.
Fig. 12.4 Push fit fitting for waste disposal pipe. The second type of joint has a sealing ring squeezed between the pipe and the fitting, but also a grab ring which resists any tendency for the joint to pull apart. There is no such tendency with disposal pipework but there is with any pressurised system such as hot and cold water supply and central heating. Push fit joints are not used for gas supply pipework.

This branch is connected to the cylinder, and the other end of the tee connects to a scour valve (usually a plug cock) with a pipe go- ing to the outside of the building. Opening the scour valve empties the hot water system completely above the level of the scour valve. If the valve on the cold feed is left open, the cold water cistern is emptied.

At the tem- peratures at which radiators operate there is not a lot of radiant heat available. One has to be within 600 of the panel to feel anything in most installations, and where there are chil- dren or old people the water temperature from the boiler has to be kept low enough to avoid burning vulnerable people should they touch the emitter surface.

Should the branch exceed approximately 1200, then some means of ventilating the branch has to be fitted. An expensive solution would be to erect another stack, but apart from the expense it might not be possible to accommodate another stack. The solution is to carry the branch pipework past the WC and turn it up the wall next to the WC. The top of this pipework has to be higher than the top of any other appliance connected to the branch — frequently a WHB in the same compartment. Then cap the pipe off with an air admittance valve, sometimes referred to by its original trade name, Durgo valve. It is illustrated in Figure 12.47, which shows a gen- eral view as fitted to the top of the SVP, and the view into the bottom, which doesn’t show alot but merely indicates that there is more to the thing than just a fancy dome! In fact there is a fairly delicate valve mechanism which opens and closes in the flow of air in and out of the SVP. —— -_ we

Building Regulations now include load/ span tables for structural timbers such as joists, roof timbers and structural partitions, so that to comply with these regulations the designer has only to match the expected load with the pro- posed span and select the appropriate timber size at a given grade.

On plan B, the bit left from cutting C1 from a full sheet is placed on the LH side of the room (C2). The cut end is to the wall and the grooved end is ready to receive the next sheet, which is marked as a full sheet but might be a fraction less. If so, the narrow strip cut-off is discarded. On plan C, the laying continues with an FS laid on the LH end of the floor boards already laid, and a cut C1 is put in next, cut end to the wall on the right. C2 from that cutting is then cut down in width — scribed — but only the tongued edge should be removed as we need the groove to fit over the edge of the previous tongues. Finally, a full sheet is scribed to the wall and laid with the grooved edge over the previous tongues. Quite simple and logical once you work it out. 1 141 1 aa 1

The truss had to be made in a jig, and it was not uncommon in the 1950s to see a rough shel- ter built on a site and under it the carpenters cutting out and laying timbers in a jig, boring holes through them all and then fitting connec- tors in place over a high tensile steel nut and bolt with several large, well greased washers fitted. A long-handled ring spanner was used to tighten up, the teeth on the Bulldog connector or the ring on the shear connector biting into the timbers.

Fig. G.19 Spring and gravity toggle fasteners — schematic. Fixing back to a hollow background is another area where inventive minds have run riot. All the fixings manufactured depend on having a device which expands behind the skin or panel to which you are fastening — except one, which is the gravity toggle. This goes through the hole all aligned, then gravity takes over and part of it falls over and can be drawn up tight against the back of the panel. Figures G.18, G19 and G.20 show all this. Frame fixings (Figures G.21 and G.22) were spe- cially developed to make the fixing of door and window frames into openings in masonry walls easier than with the traditional plug or dook. To use them, the frame has a clearance hole drilled for each fixing. Then a masonry drill is used through the clearance hole to drill correspond- ing holes in the masonry reveals. To do this

Why should we be starting a book on building construction with a discussion of bricks and blocks? Quite simply because bricks are one of the major construction materials instantly as- sociated with construction in the mind of the novice or lay person, but more importantly because the sizes chosen for the manufacture of bricks and blocks affect practically every- thing in a building except the thickness of the coats of paint or the coats of plaster. This will be discussed in more detail as we proceed. Masonry Construction in Bricks and Blocks

EVA can be purchased as a powder or a liq- uid. Recent research has shown that liquid EVA blocks most of the pores, thus helping to retain water within the wall rather than let- ting the wall ‘breathe’. Powdered EVA is more successful. It does not block the pores but lines them, thus repelling solid water trying to en- ter while retaining a fully open surface for evaporation.

Depending on the manufacturer, brass and DZR versions of the valves are made, and there can be one or both ends with male or fe- male threads. So one could have one end for copper and one male or female end, or both male ends or both female ends. To the best of the author’s knowledge no-one has made a valve with one male and one female end. Hav- ing valves with single male or female ends means that a connection can be made to an ap- pliance and then the pipe connected directly to the valve. i amare 1 1 ell a | ye
*A pipe sleeve is a cutting of pipe built into a masonry wall through which a service pipe is passed. It protects the service pipe and allows it to expand and contract or move lengthwise in the sleeve without damage to itself or the wall. It always bridges cavities in walls and so prevents pipe contents from spilling into the cavity in the event of a leak. A pipe sleeve is mandatory for gas service pipes passing through a cavity or any other walls. There should neve be any pipe joints secreted in a pipe sleeve. Table 12.3 Service and pipe used.

There has been a huge advancement in mobile wireless communication since the last few decades. This advancement consist of several generations and is still going on. The journey of mobile wireless communication began with 1G followed by... more
GSM(Global System for Mobile Communication) is the most widely used 2G mobile standard.2G was commercially launched on GSM _ standard in Finland, in 1991.GSM technology was the first one to support international roaming. This enabled the mobile subscribers to use their mobile phone connections in different countries of the world with better quality and capacity. The GSM technology was continuously improved to provide better services which led to development of advanced
2 gee ee 2 eee ee a i a a oe The third generation wireless mobile communication system was introduced in 2000.The goal of 3G systems was to offer increased data rates from 144kbps to384kbps in wide coverage areas and 2Mbps in local coverage areas.3G offers advanced services to the users as compared to 1G and 2G.Along with voice communication it includes data services, access to TV/videos, Web browsing, e-mail, video conferencing, paging, fax and navigational maps. It has a bandwidth of 15-20MHz used for high speed internet, video chatting, etc. A 3G mobile system was defined by an organization called 3rd Generation Partnership Project(3G PP) which fulfils the IMT-2000 standards. It was called as UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) in Europe, which is TSI driven.IMT2000 is the TU-T name for the third generation system, while CDMA 2000 is the name of American 3G variant. Also the MT2000 has accepted a new 3G standard from China, ie TD-SCDMA.WCDMA is the air-interface technology for UMTS. The first commercial 3G network was launched by TT Do co mo in Japan, in 2001. systems called as 2.5 Generation(2.5G) systems.2.5G lies between 2G and 3G technologies. In addition with circuit switched domain of 2G system, 2.5G implements a packet switched domain, and provides a data rate of 144kbps.2G used technologies such as General Packet Radio Service(GPRS) and EDGE(Enhanced Data rates in GSM Environment).GPRS provides packet switching protocols, short setup time for ISP connections and the possibility to charge the subscriber according to the amount of data sent rather than connection time. GPRS supports flexible data transmission rates and provides continuous connection with the network. GPRS is the significant step towards 3G.

In 5G network, the Physical and Data Link layer defines the 9G wireless technology indicating it as an Open Wireless Architecture(OW A).The 5G technology also maintain virtual multi-wireless network. To perform this the Network layer is sub-divided into two layers; upper network layer for mobile terminal and lower network layer for interface. Here all the routing will be based on IP addresses which would be different in each IP network worldwide. In 5G technology the higher bit rate loss is overcome by using Open Transport Protocol(OTP).The OTP is supported by Transport and Session layer.

Unlike Beam A, the floor loads are transferred to Beam B at two points: each concentrated load corresponds to a tributary area of 17.5 X 10 = 175 ft?; therefore, the two loads each have a magnitude of 100 X 175 = 17,500Ib = 17.5kips. The load diagram for Beam B is shown in Figure 1.7b.

But every floor and roof above also transfers a load to Column D. Obviously, columns at the bottom of buildings support more weight than columns at the top of buildings, since all the tributary areas of the floors and roof above are assigned to them. As an example, if there are nine floors and one roof above Column D, all with the same distributed load and tributary area, then the total load on Column D would be, not 70k, but 9 + 1) X 70 = 700kips. In practice, the entire load as previously calculated is not assigned to columns or to other structural elements with large total tributary areas. This is because it is

Abstract symbols for reactions, including (a) hinge or pin-end, (b) roller, (c) fixed, and (d) free end For any plane, rigid-body structure (just “structure” or “structural element” from now on) subjected to various loads, the three equations of equilibrium provide the mathematical basis for determining values for up to three unknown forces and moments—the reactions of the structure to the loads. Structural elements of this type are statically determinate because the magnitudes of the unknown reactions can be determined using only the equations of static equilibrium.

Dimensions of an |-shaped section oriented about its y-axis, for the calculation of moment of inertia Moments of inertia for circular rings (Figure 1.48d) are determined as before: by subtracting the moment of inertia of the smaller from that of the larger circle. For the L-shaped section, however, it is not possible to simply subtract the smaller rec- tangles from the larger, as was done when computing the moment of inertia about the x-axis, since the centroids of the various parts being subtracted do not coincide. Instead, one must add the three moments of inertia of the two flanges and web, as shown in Figure 1.49, each taken about the y-axis:
FIGURE 2.4 “Influence areas” for beams and columns
There are a few obvious exceptions to the rules governing live load reductions, most importantly for structural elements supporting large areas that are expected to be fully loaded. In such cases (e.g., in places of public assembly or in garages), no live load reduction is allowed. Additionally, reductions are restricted for one- and two-way slabs since the failure mode of such slabs is not directly a function of tribu- tary area, but rather corresponds more closely to any given “strip” within which reinforcing bars are placed. These are minimum values for live loads: other than exposing oneself to the potential wrath of developers, owners, project managers, and contractors, nothing prevents a designer from using larger, or unreduced, val- ues if warranted by the particular conditions of the project.

Typical distribution of equivalent seismic story forces on a building of larger “component and cladding” loads in wind design: because the actual distribu- tion of seismic forces is nonuniform, complex, and constantly changing, the average force expected to act upon the entire lateral-force-resisting structural system is less than the maximum force expected to occur at any one level or upon any one build- ing element.

Plan dimensions are 60ft x 80ft; assume that an “effective seismic weight” of 75 psf can be used for all story levels (primarily due to the dead load). The structure is a Steel special moment-resisting frame and is built upon dense soil. The typical building sec- tion is shown in Figure 2.17.

as they simultaneously compress the areas that cooled first. The typical pattern of residual stresses within a wide-flange cross section is shown in Figure 3.6. Residual stresses have an impact on the inelastic buckling of steel columns, since partial yielding of the cross section occurs at a lower compressive stress than would be the case if the residual compressive stresses “locked” into the column were not present.
Cross section of a typical steel wide-flange (W) section Wide-flange shapes are commonly used for both beams and columns within steel- framed structures. They are designated by a capital W, followed by the cross sec- tion’s nominal depth and weight (ib) per linear foot. For example, a W14 X 38 has a nominal depth of 14in. and weighs 381b per linear foot (see Figure 4.1). Unlike stan- dard (S) “I-beam” sections, whose flange surfaces are not parallel—the inner surface slopes about 16% relative to the outer surface—wide-flange (W) sections have parallel flange surfaces, making it somewhat easier to make connections to other structural elements. Wide-flange sections are manufactured in groups with a common set of inner rollers. Within each of these groups, the dimensions and properties are varied

This net width is found by subtracting from the gross width, W, the sum of hole diameters, d,,, and then adding spacing-gage terms, s?/(4 2), for each diagonal line in the failure surface.

—_— NE EE EE EO Where all parts G.e., flanges, webs, etc.) of a cross section are connected, and the so-called shear lag effect described earlier cannot occur, the coefficient U is taken as 1.0, and the effective net area equals the net area, just as in timber design. For short connection fittings like splice plates and gusset plates, U is also taken as 1.0, but A, = A, cannot exceed 0.85 times the gross area. These short connecting elements may have an effective width less than their actual width to account for the shear lag effect, based on what is known as the “Whitmore section,” shown in Figure 6.8. For a length, Z, of the fastener group measured in the direction of load, and a distance, W, between the outer rows of bolts or welds, the effective width is
computed by extending a 30° line out from both sides of the fastener group; it can be seen that the effective width, /,,, is equal to 2Ztan 30° + W. Finally, the lengths of tension members, other than rods and cables, are limited to a slenderness ratio—defined as the ratio of effective length to least radius of gyra- tion—of 300, to prevent excessive vibrations and protect against damage during transportation and erection. The radius of gyration, a property of the cross section, is equal to (1/A)°*, where I is the moment of inertia and A is the cross-sectional area of the element.

(1707-1783) figured out was that these deflections increase rapidly in the vicinity of a particular Ccritical”) load, at which point the column is assumed to fail, and that the value of this load is independent of the initial eccentricity. In other words, even with the smallest imaginable deviation from axiality, a column is assumed to buckle at some critical load. Since no perfectly axial columns (or loads) can exist, all columns behaving elastically are assumed to buckle at the critical buckling stress derived by Euler:
The strength of wood and steel columns is limited in two ways: either they will crush at their maximum compressive stress, or they will buckle at some criti- cal stress that is different from, and independent of, their strength in compression. Euler’s equation for critical buckling stress works well for slender columns but gives increasingly inaccurate results as the slenderness of columns decreases and the effects of crushing begin to interact with the idealized conditions from which Euler’s equation was derived. Figure 7.3 shows schematically the relationship among Euler critical buckling stress, crushing strength, and test results for columns with dif. ferent slenderness ratios. It can be seen that only for slender columns can the Euler curve be used as a basis for design.

Comparison of “positive” and “negative” bending in (a) a simply supported beam anc (b) a cantilevered beam be seen from Figure 8.4a, a counterclockwise moment on the right side of a free- body diagram is equivalent to a distribution of bending stress with compression on the top and tension on the bottom of the beam: “positive” bending (and “positive” bending moment). Figure 8.4b shows a free-body diagram cut through a cantilever beam with “negative” bending—that is, tension on the top and compression on the bottom corresponding to a clockwise moment as shown. The reversing curvature of a continuous beam, such as that shown in Figure 8.3, corresponds precisely to a reversal in the sign of the bending moment. As shown in Figure 8.5, points of inflec- tion (points where the curvature changes) always occur at points of zero moment. Bending stresses within these beams can be computed if we assume that the stretching and shortening that take place at any cross section are linear; that is,

From the requirements of horizontal equilibrium, the total compressive force, C, must equal the total ten- sion force, 7. For this to occur, the neutral axis must be at the center of the beam, and the maximum compressive stress must equal the maximum tension stress. Any other linear distribution of stresses would be inconsistent with these requirements

Being able to resist the full plastic moment represents an extra margin of safety: if a beam can develop this plastic moment without buckling, the maximum available bending moment of M,/Q is used, as shown in Equation 8.12. In addition to lateral- torsional buckling (Figure 8.23a), various types of local flange and web buckling must also be prevented from occurring before the plastic moment is reached (Figure 8.236). Local buckling is prevented by limiting the ratio of flange width to flange thickness, as well as web width to web thickness. Sections proportioned so that local buckling will not occur are called compact sections; these sections must be used to qualify for the full available moment of M,/Q. As it turns out, all but one of the wide-flange shapes listed in Table A-4.3 is a compact section when made from A36 steel (the exception being W6 X 15). For 50-ksi steel, all but 10 (W6 X 8.5, W6 X 9, W6 X 15, W8 X 10, W8 X 31, W10 X 12, W12 X 65, W14 X 90, W14 X 99, and W21 X 48) are compact.

Relationship of bending moment and position of tension steel reinforcement
SLCCI All CONCTCUC (SCC PISUre /.7). The strength, or capacity, of a reinforced concrete beam can be determined by considering the equilibrium of tensile and compressive forces at any cross section. Failure of the beam occurs either with crushing of the concrete within the compres- sion region; or yielding of the tension steel, followed by compressive crushing of the concrete. Since tension yielding is the preferred mode of failure—compressive crushing of the concrete would be sudden and catastrophic, whereas yielding of the steel provides warning signs of collapse—concrete beams are often deliberately under-reinforced to guarantee that, in the case of failure, the steel reinforcing bars begin to yield before the concrete in the compressive zone crushes. At the point of failure, the stresses in a reinforced concrete cross section are as ‘* = ‘amaligh za. ac 6 - Fe .. 7 a oe ee aa
Comparison of (a) actual stresses in reinforced concrete beam with (b) equivalent rectangular (“Whitney”) stress block
The maximum steel ratio (P,4.), Whether derived from the lowest permissible steel strain of 0.004 or the simpler value of 0.005, sets an upper limit to the amount of steel in a reinforced concrete beam where failure, should it occur, is initiated by yielding of the tensile reinforcement. By comparing the stress and strain diagrams of the balanced condition (Figure 8.40) with the condition where the steel strain at failure is 0.005, it can be shown that the steel ratio corresponding to a steel strain of 0.005 is Pmax = 0.63375 pp). For beams, a lower limit for the steel ratio (~,,;,) is also prudent and is set at 200/f, for concrete strengths in the 3000- to 4000-psi range and 3¢(f, Diy for 5000-psi or higher concrete (where //, and Jy are in psi units). A minimum s/ab steel ratio is set at 0.0018, consistent with slab requirements for minimum temperature and shrinkage reinforcement perpendicular to the direction of span. These lower bounds protect against a type of sudden failure that might oth- erwise occur in very lightly reinforced beams if the redistribution of stresses brought about by the initial cracking of concrete in the tension zone exceeds the capacity of the “cracked” cross section assumed in the calculation of steel area. Typical mini- mum and maximum values for the steel ratio, p, are shown in Table A-8.8. There is a subtle, but important, important difference between positive-moment T-beam design (with effective “flange” width, b, and web or stem width, D,,) and rectangular beam design (with constant width, b): the minimum steel ratio, Py,;,, is much lower for the T-beam when expressed in terms of width, b.

The rigorous calculation of reinforced concrete beam or slab deflection is compli- cated by the difficulty of determining the stiffness, ET, of such bending elements that would be required in any deflection equation: in particular, the moment of inertia of a cracked section (cracked in the tension zone) containing two very different types of materials (steel and concrete) is complex and uncertain. While such procedures exist, we can control deflection—for preliminary design—by establishing minimum thicknesses for beam and slab elements based on their clear span, as shown in Table A-8.2. For example, the minimum thickness for a continuous reinforced concrete

Tee ene ne eee een nn neg een OE OEE I EE OI EEE IEEE IA EES The general strategy for designing wood connections is to first find the capacity of a single fastener, using one of the strategies discussed (.e., using yield limit equa- tions or various tabular design aids), and then to multiply that capacity by the num- ber of fasteners comprising the connection. As already suggested, this total capacity for multiple fasteners is explicitly modified using the group action adjustment fac- tor C,; the other adjustments—C>p, Cy, and C,—can be applied to either the entire connection or just a single fastener, but should only be applied once each per con- nection.

Table A-8.5 (Continued) 1. Values are based on the conservative assumption that the “lateral-torsional buckling modifier,” C, = 1.0. This conservative value of Cy = 1.0 is quite close to the actual value for simply supported beams with equally spaced point loads of equal weight, where the beam is braced at those points only, except for the special case of a single point load at midspan, in which case Cy = 1.364. Actual values for Cy can be found for each unbraced beam segment by calculating the bending moments at the quarter-points along each segment (Ma, Mp, and Mo, with Mg being the moment at the midpoint of the segment), as well as the maximum moment, Mmax Within each segment, and then inserting these values into Equation 8.13, reproduced as follows: 12.5M se max > We

Lengths of adjacent spans do not differ by more than 20%. b. The unfactored live load is less than or equal to three times the unfactored dead load. 2. The negative moment (at the face of support) can be taken as w,I,2/12 for slabs with clear spans no greater than 10ft and for beams framing into relatively stiff columns (specifically, the sum of column stiffness divided by the sum of beam stiffness at each end of the beam must be greater than 8). Stiffness is the product of modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia, neither of which are straightforward quantities for structural elements consisting of two materials bonded together. For normal-weight concrete, the modulus of elasticity, E, (psi), may be taken as 57,000(f! °°), where the cylinder strength of concrete, ff , is in psi units. The calculation of moment of inertia is left to the designer, with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) permitting “any set of reasonable assumptions.” One suggestion is to use gross E,/ values for both beams and columns: where E, is the same for all members, a typical joint with columns and beams at all four orthogonal points, and constant width for column and beam sections, would qualify for the w,|,°/12 negative beam moment only when the column thickness at that joint becomes more than twice the beam thickness.

The letter “d” in the designation refers to the pennyweight of the nails and is said to be derived from the biblical use of denarius (hence “d”) as the historical equivalent of the modern penny (hence “pennyweight”). We continue to use the abbreviation “d” to stand for “penny” and we say “10-penny nail” when reading “10d nail.”

For lag screws where the penetration, p, falls between the two values shown in the table, the lateral design value, Z, is multiplied by p(8D). Therefore, where the penetration equals the absolute minimum value of 4D, the lateral design value is taken as one half the tabular (or computed) value of Z. 3. For nails where the penetration, p, falls between the two values shown in the table, the lateral design value, Z, is multiplied by pX10D). Therefore, where the penetration equals the absolute minimum value of 6D, the lateral design value is taken as 0.6 times the tabular (or computed) value of Z. 4. For bolts, “penetration” is always, by definition, 100% through both the main member and side member(s) so there is no need to calculate its effect on the lateral design value, Z.

Table A-9.19 Bearing capacity, or available strength, for a high-strength bolt bearing on material lin. thick, with clear spacing between bolts (or edge) > 2in. (kips)! 1. Capacity (available strength) is tabulated assuming that the bolt hole clear spacing (or clear spacing between bolt hole and material edge) in direction of force is no less than 2in. For clear spacing less than 2in., multiply capacity by L./2, where L, is the actual clear spacing (in.). For cases where the small deformations associated with bolt bearing, at ordinary service loads, are considered to be a design issue, multiply capacity by 0.8. Where the thickness, t, of the material is other than 1in., multiply the capacity by the thickness, t (in.). These multiplications are cumulative so that, for example, the capacity of a material with t = % in., clear spacing between bolts of 1.75in., and consideration of bearing deformations, would be equal to the tabular value multiplied by (%)(:’4)(0.8) = (tabular value X 0.4375).

Values may be multiplied by 0.75 where adequately confined by a spiral or ties (specifically, with a minimum 44-in. spiral at no more than a 4-in. pitch or with No. 4 ties spaced at no more than 4in. on center). 2. Values may be multiplied by the ratio of required steel bar area to provided steel bar area, except in cases where the anchorage is required to reach the yield stress, fy, or in certain high-risk seismic zones. 3. All of the modifications mentioned in Notes 1 and 2 are cumulative; that is, a value may be multiplied by one or more of the applicable modification factors. 4. In any case, the development length for compression, Ij, cannot be less than 8in.
