    ASCE 41-13 Equation (7-21) and "Controlled By" Clarifications

    All, Just wanted to post I found an answer to item number 1. "Controlled by" is determined by the limit state of the wall. You solve for your flexural capacity for the wall per section 11.3.4.2.1 and your shear capacity of the wall per section 11.3.4.2.2 (Both of which state to use the...

    ACI 318-08 Appendix D: Anchors in a row

    Hey, So I have a question about ACI 318 Appendix D. When checking D6.2 the commentary on page 430 (318-08) states that, "One assumption of the distribution of forces indicates that half the shear would be critical on the front anchor and its projected area." Is this the case for infinite...
