Thank you Sandman21.
My next question then is: How can one know if (Fp=0.8*SDS*Wp) is greater than the force we get if we multiply by the 2.5? Or should we not even go there? Just check the Fp from the wall and move on?
Thanks again,
IBC 2009 Section 1908.1.9 exception 2 waives the ductile design requirement for anchors that resist wall out of plane forces determined per ASCE 7 eqn. 12.11-1(Fp=0.8*SDS*Wp). My question is: does this wall have to be a non-load bearing only? Or, can it include load bearing (you know axially...
