In a combination of loads, the load duration factor forthe shortest duration load applies for that combination.
Wet Service Factor, CM
When the moisture content of sawn lumber exceeds19%, the adjustment factors given in NDS Supp.Table 4A and Table 4B are applicable to visually gradeddimension lumber; in NDS Supp. Table 4C to machine-graded dimension lumber; in NDS Supp. Table 4D tovisually graded timbers; in NDS Supp. Table 4E todecking; and in NDS Supp. Table 4F to non-NorthAmerican visually graded dimension lumber. When the
moisture content of glued laminated members exceeds16%, the adjustment factors given in NDS Supp.Table 5A through Table 5D are applicable.
The applicability of the wet service factor to the refer-ence design values for sawn lumber and glued laminatedtimber is summarized in Table 6.6.

8. CORBELS........................................................................................................................
A corbel is a cantilever bracket supporting a load-bearing member. As shown in Fig. 2.14 and specified inACI Sec. 16.5.1.1, the shear span-to-depth ratio, av/d,and the ratio of horizontal tensile force to vertical force,Nuc/Vu, are limited to a maximum value of unity. Thedepth of the corbel at the outside edge of bearing areamust not be less than d/2.
At the face of the support, the forces acting on the cor-bel are a shear force, Vu, a moment (Vuav+Nuc(h− d)),and a tensile force, Nuc. These require reinforcementareas of Avf, Af, and An, respectively. The shear frictionreinforcement area is derived from ACI Eq. 22.9.4.2 as

Types of BoltsThere are two categories of bolts: common bolts andhigh-strength bolts. High-strength bolts are additionallygrouped by strength levels into two categories: group Abolts (A325, F1852, A354 grade BC, and A449) andgroup B bolts (A490, F2280, and A354 grade BD).
Common bolts of grade A307 with a nominal tensilestrength of 45 kips/in2 are used in snug-tight (bearing-type) connections only.
High-strength bolts in group A with a nominal tensilestrength of 90 kips/in2, or group B with a nominal ten-sile strength of 113 kips/in2, are used in bearing-type,pretensioned, and slip-critical connections.
Bolts are installed in the following three types ofconnections.
1. Bearing-type or snug-tight connections requirethe bolts to be tightened sufficiently to bring theplies into firm contact. Levels of installed tensionare not specified. Transfer of the load from oneconnected part to another depends on the bearingof the bolts against the side of the holes. Thistype may be used when pretensioned or slip-critical connections are not required.
2. Pretensioned connections require the bolts to bepretensioned to a minimum value of 70% of thebolt’s minimum tensile strength and the fayingsurfaces may be uncoated, coated, or galvanizedregardless of the slip coefficient. Transfer of theload from one connected part to another dependson the bearing of the bolts against the side of theholes. Pretensioned connections are requiredwhen bearing-type connections are used in
• column splices in buildings over 125 ft inheight
• bracing members in buildings over 125 ft inheight
• structures carrying cranes of over 5 toncapacity
• supports of machinery causing impact orstress reversal
3. Slip-critical connections require the bolts to bepretensioned to a minimum value of 70% of thebolt’s tensile strength, and the faying surfacesmust be prepared to produce a specific value ofthe slip coefficient. Transfer of the load from oneconnected part to another depends on the frictioninduced between the parts. Slip-critical connec-tions are required where
• fatigue load occurs
• bolts are used in oversize holes or slotted holesparallel to the direction of load
• slip at the faying surfaces will affect the per-formance of the structure
• bolts are used in conjunction with welds
Bearing-Type Bolts in ShearThe minimum permissible distance and the preferreddistance between the centers of holes is given byAISC 360 Sec. J3.3 as

The nominal shear strength is based on the nominalunthreaded cross-sectional area of the bolt, Ab, and thenominal shear strength, Fnv. Nominal shear strength offasteners and threaded parts is given inAISC 360 Table J3.2, and for high-strength bolts areduced nominal strength is applicable when threads arenot excluded from the shear planes. No reduction ismade for A307 bolts. For connections longer than 38 in,the nominal strength is reduced. The bolt’s availableshear capacity is obtained from AISC 360 Eq. J3-1.

Slip-Critical Bolts in ShearSlip-critical bolts are high strength group A or group Bbolt pretensioned to the value specified in AISC 360Table J3.1 of
=T F0.70b u
The pretension produces a clamping force between theparts, and transfers the shear load from one connectedpart to another by friction. At the strength limit state,the connection may slip sufficiently to place the bolts inbearing and AISC 360 Sec. J3.10 requires slip-criticalconnections to also comply with the requirements ofsnug-tight connections.
The frictional resistance developed in a slip-critical con-nection depends on the condition of the faying surfaces.The values of the slip coefficient, μ, for two types of sur-face conditions (class A and class B) are given in AISC360 Sec. J3.8.
• Class A surface conditions consist of unpainted cleanmill scale surfaces or blast-cleaned surfaces withclass A coatings. The slip coefficient is
µ = 0.30
• Class B surface conditions consist of unpaintedblast-cleaned surfaces or blast-cleaned surfaces withclass B coatings. The slip coefficient is
µ = 0.50
The nominal slip resistance is identical for the cases ofthreads included or excluded from the shear plane, andis given by AISC 360 Eq. J3-4 as
µ=R D h T nn u f b s
The bolt tension multiplier reflects the ratio of the meaninstalled bolt tension to the specified minimum bolt pre-tension and is given by
=D 1.13u
The modification factor for fillers, hf, is
• 1.00 where bolts are added to distribute loads in thefiller
• 1.00 for one filler between connected parts
• 0.85 for two or more fillers between connected parts
The resistance factor and safety factor adopted dependon the type of hole used in the connection. Connectionsallowing a large amount of slip may cause unacceptableslip and will require a higher safety factor than a

SD Method
When flexural reinforcement is concentrated at the endsof a shear wall and axial loads are comparatively light,the shear wall may be designed in the same manner as abeam in bending. When these conditions are not valid,it is necessary to analyze the wall using basic principles.
To prevent brittle failure of a lightly reinforced shearwall, TMS 402 Sec. 9.3.4.2.2.2 requires the nominalflexural strength of the shear wall to be greater than 1.3times the nominal cracking moment strength. Therequired nominal moment is
M M1.3 cr
In order to provide adequate ductile response in a shearwall, TMS 402 Sec. 9.3.3.5.1 through TMS 402 Sec.9.3.3.5.4 limit the maximum reinforcement ratio inaccordance with a prescribed strain distribution. Themasonry compressive strain is defined as 0.0025 for con-crete masonry. The tensile strain, in the extreme tensionreinforcement, depends on the seismic design category,the shear wall type, the response modification factor, R,and the value of Mu/(Vdv). The tensile strain is limitedto the following values.
• 1.5s y= for R ≥ 1.5 andMu/(Vudv) ≤ 1.0
• s is not limited for R ≤ 1.5 andMu/(Vudv) ≤ 1.0
• 3.0s y= for an intermediate reinforced masonrywall withMu/(Vudv) ≥ 1.0
• 4.0s y= for a special reinforced masonry wall withMu/(Vudv) ≥ 1.0
The response modification factor, R, is defined inASCE/SEI75 Table 12.2-1. For masonry shear wallsused in bearing wall structural systems, the values of Rare given in Table 7.1.
The limit on maximum tensile reinforcement ratio forshear walls is waived if special boundary elements areprovided to the shear wall in compliance with TMS 402Sec. 9.3.6.5. Special boundary elements need not be pro-vided in shear walls meeting the following conditions.
The factored axial load does not exceed the valueP A f0.10u g m for geometrically symmetrical wall sec-
tions, or P A f0.05u g m for geometrically unsymmet-rical wall sections. In addition, one of the followingconditions must apply.

A rectangular compression stress block is assumed inthe face shell on the compression face of the wall with amagnitude of f0.80 m and a depth of a. The compressionforce on the stress block acts at mid-depth of the stressblock and is given by

To ensure a ductile failure in concrete block walls sub-ject to out-of-plane loading, TMS 402 Sec. 10.4.3.6 spec-ifies a maximum depth for the stress block of
a d0.36=
In addition, the depth of the stress block may not exceedthe thickness of the face shell.
Example 7.22
The nominal 8 in ungrouted concrete block masonry walldescribed in Ex. 7.20 has face-shell mortar bedding oftype S portland cement/lime mortar, a specified strengthof f 2500†lbf/inm
2= at 28 days, and a specified strength
of fmi = 2000 lbf/in2 at transfer. The wall is post-tensionedwith †in7
16 diameter steel rods at 16 in centers placed cen-trally in the wall, and the rods are laterally restrained.The wall has an effective height of h = 20 ft and is simplysupported at the top and bottom. The roof live load is200 lbf/ft, and the roof dead load is 400 lbf/ft applied tothe wall without eccentricity. The masonry wall has aweight of γw = 37 lbf/in2. The properties of the steel rodare Eps = 29,000 kips/in2, Aps = 0.142 in2, fpy = 100 kips/in2, fpu = 122 kips/in2. Wind load governs and has a valueof w = 25 lbf/ft2. Assume the loss of prestress at transfer is5% and the final loss of prestress is 30%. Determine if thewall design flexural capacity is adequate. Ignore P-deltaeffects.
Solution
The following calculations are based on a 1 ft length ofwall and on information obtained from Ex. 7.20 andEx. 7.21.
The weight of the wall above midheight plus the roofdead load is

Hydrostatic Pressure and Soil Lateral Pressure
A retaining wall is usually provided with a drainage sys-tem behind the wall. Where this is not possible andadjacent soil is below the free-water table, design mustinclude the effects of submerged soil pressure plushydrostatic pressure as shown in Fig. 1.36.
For the retaining wall shown in Fig. 1.36, which has asoil backfill with a dry density of γS, the active earthpressure behind the wall at a depth of hdry below the fillsurface is given by Rankine’s theory as
