LKT (Structural)
ACI 318-11 Appendix D Section D.3.3.4.3(D) and Section D3.3.5.3(C) require the design loads from seismic be increased by the amplification factor, Ωo, if the embedded anchor concrete capacity (tension or shear), is less than the anchor steel capacity.
Do Section D.3.3.4.3(D)...
Normally the wind or seismic loads from flexible horizontal diaphragm structure are distributed to the shear walls based on the assumption that the roof or floor acts as simple beams spanning between the paralleled shearwalls in the direction of the loads. The distances between the paralleled...
