Allowable shear loads and anchor uplifts are applicable to installation on concrete with minimum f'c = 2500 psi using the ASD basic (Section 1605.3.1) or the alternative basic (Section 1605.3.2) load combinations. Load values include evaluation of bearing stresses on the foundation and do not require further evaluation by the Designer. 2. For seismic designs based on the 2006 IBC using R = 6.5. For other codes, use the seismic coefficients corresponding to light-frame bearing walls with wood structural panels or sheet steel panels. 3. Allowable shear, drift, and uplift values may be interpolated for intermediate height or axial loads. 4. High-strength anchor bolts are required for anchor tension (uplift) forces exceeding the allowable load for standard-strength bolts tabulated on pages 32-33. See pages 32-37 for SSWAB anchor bolt information and anchorage solutions. 5. Tabulated anchor tension (uplift) loads assume no resisting axial load. For anchor tension loads at design shear values and including the effect of axial load, refer to the Strong-Wall Selector™ software or use the equations on page 15. Drifts at lower design shear may be linearly reduced. 6. See page 14 for allowable out-of-plane loads and axial capacities. 13 Strong-Wall ® STEEL STRONG-WALL®: Standard Application on Concrete Foundations ALLOWABLE OUT-OF-PLANE LOADS (PSF) FOR SINGLE-STORY WALLS ON CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS Model Axial Load Nominal Height of Panel (feet) Width (lbs) 8 9 10 11 12 13 1000 200 140 105 NA NA NA 12" wide 4000 150 105 70 NA NA NA 7500 90 55 25 NA NA NA 1000 165 130 100 80 70 NA 15" wide 4000 130 95 70 50 40 NA 7500 95 65 45 30 15 NA 18" wide 7500 310 215 160 120 90 70 21" wide 7500 260 185 135 100 70 50 24" wide 7500 275 195 135 105 80 65 1.

Allowable shear loads and anchor uplifts are applicable to installation on concrete with minimum f'c = 2500 psi using the ASD basic (Section 1605.3.1) or the alternative basic (Section 1605.3.2) load combinations. Load values include evaluation of bearing stresses on the foundation and do not require further evaluation by the Designer. 2. For seismic designs based on the 2006 IBC using R = 6.5. For other codes, use the seismic coefficients corresponding to light-frame bearing walls with wood structural panels or sheet steel panels. 3. Allowable shear, drift, and uplift values apply to the nominal wall heights listed and may be linearly interpolated for intermediate heights. 4. Solid shim blocks (12" maximum) shall be used to attain specified nominal wall height. See detail 4/SSW3 on page 65 for additional details. 5. Full-height studs are required for balloon framed wall installation, which must be designed for out-of-plane loads in accordance with the applicable code. Two 2x6 minimum are required on each side and fastened together with 10d common nails at 16 inches on center 6. Loads are based on a 1000 lbs. maximum axial load acting on the entire panel in combination with the shear load. For shear loads at 2000 lbs. maximum axial load, multiply allowable shears by 0.91 for SSW15x models; no reduction required for other wall models. 7. High-strength anchor bolts are required for anchor tension (uplift) forces exceeding the allowable load for standard-strength bolts tabulated on pages 32-33. See pages 32-37 for SSWAB anchor bolt information and anchorage solutions. 8. Tabulated anchor tension (uplift) loads assume no resisting axial load. For anchor tension loads at design shear values and including the effect of axial load, refer to the Strong-Wall Selector™ software or use the equations on page 15. Drifts at lower design shear may be linearly reduced. 22 Strong-Wall ® STEEL STRONG-WALL®: Cumulative Overturning IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CUMULATIVE OVERTURNING When specifying a pre-manufactured shearwall for a project, there are several factors that need to be considered, such as load values, seismic/wind requirements, wall width and height, wall placement, etc. There is also another critical factor that is often overlooked in multi-story applications – cumulative overturning. Calculating Cumulative Overturning for Pre-manufactured Shearwalls Designers are accustomed to accounting for cumulative overturning when specifying multi-story, site-built plywood shearwalls – which is done by adding the overturning and resisting moments, and calculating tension and compression loads at each level. However, when specifying pre-manufactured shearwalls, designers typically calculate shear loads based on the building geometry and code loading requirements. A wall is then selected based on its ability to meet or exceed the required shear load using manufacturer provided allowable shear load tables. What can get lost when considering shear capacity only is that the shearwall is not only governed by shear, but also by a combination of other limit states, including drift, tension and compression, flexure, anchor rod tension, and concrete or wood bearing stress. For single-story walls, the allowable shear given in the load tables is the lowest value of the various limit states. However, additional care must be taken in the analysis of multi-story shearwalls to account for the way the loads are distributed over the height of the building. Cumulative Overturning and Stacked-Wall Applications In multi-story structures, shear and the associated overturning forces due to seismic/wind requirements must be carried down to the foundation by the building’s lateral force resisting system. These forces are cumulative over the height of the building, and shear forces applied at the second or third levels of a structure will generate much larger base C-SW09 © 2009 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC. overturning moments than the same shears applied at the first story. If cumulative overturning is not considered, the design may result in forces several times higher than the capacity of the lower wall, anchor bolts and foundation anchorage. When specifying stacked shearwall applications, it’s important to consider cumulative overturning. The load values for Simpson Strong-Tie ® stacked Steel Strong-Wall® applications reflect the impact of cumulative overturning and thus, appear significantly different than other shearwall manufacturers.

SHEAR AND CUMULATIVE OVERTURNING ANALYSIS The graphic illustration below compares how the total allowable shear load force of 22,500 lbs. assuming a 2 ft. moment arm. As illustrated, if the is impacted when the effects of cumulative overturning are included in the same base shear is applied over two stories, the overturning at the base of analysis. As a point of reference (Figure A), a one-story, 9-foot tall shear wall the wall exceeds the one-story application by 60% (Figure B). When proper with a 5,000-lb lateral load capacity is used. The reference wall has a resulting consideration of cumulative overturning is included in the design, the total base overturning moment capacity of 45,000 foot-lbs and an overturning allowable shear load on a stacked wall is reduced (Figure C).

Allowable shear capacities must be reduced as limited by anchor bolt capacities for installations on CMU. 6. Uplift forces may be calculated using the following formula: Shear x Height Uplift = Width - 5.25" For stacked conditions, evaluate cumulative overturning for anchorage at the base of first-floor wall. See page 48 for SWAB anchorage solutions. 46 Strong-Wall ® WOOD STRONG-WALL®: Allowable Vertical and Out-of-Plane Loads C2 C3 These allowable vertical loads are intended to aid the user in correctly implementing C1 the Wood Strong-Wall® shearwall into the load path of the structure. Load combinations that tend to cause compression can be limited by perpendicular to grain interface issues, by buckling of the vertical members or by the bending and shear capacity of the combined top plates. Loads that result in net uplift in the boundary posts are limited by the value T1 shown in the table. C1 = Max. compressive force applied over end post. C2 = Max. compressive force applied over interior post. C3 = Max. compressive force applied to top plates between studs. C4 = Max. compressive force in end post due to load from above (C1) and overturning. C5 = Max. compressive force in interior post. C5 T1 = Max. allowable tension force in holdown due to net uplift.
