Alternatively, it shall be permitted to calculatev = Mpr/Mu at the critical section for flexure, where Mpr is calculated for axial force that includes the effects of and the expected gravity loads, with expected gravity loads in accordance with ASCE/SEI 7 Section 16.3.2.Table 18.10.3.3.3 Factorsv andv18.10.3.3.4 If the general building code includes provision to account for over strength of the seismic-force-resisting system, it shall be permitted to takevv equal too.18.10.3.3.5 If 3vv =o, it shall be permitted to take the redundancy factor contained in the general building code equal to 1.0 for determination of the design shear force."
(5) A new IBC, Section 1905.9, is added as follows:"1905.9 In ACI 318, Section 21.2.4.1, the following words are added after the words "resist E", except for walls wherev1.5 or ifv is taken as equal too."
(6) A new IBC, Section 1909, Modifications to ACI 318, is added as follows:"1909.1 General. The text of ACI 318 shall be modified as indicated in Sections 1909.2 through 1909.5.1909.2 ACI 318 Section 13.2.6.2, For shallow foundation members continuously supported by soil and designed based upon the assumption of rigid behavior of the shallow member, (a) and (b) shall be permitted:(a) For one-way shear strength, Vc shall be taken as: Vc = 2flcbwd.(b) For two-way shear strength, the size factor,s, specified in 22.6 shall be taken equal to 1.0.1909.3 ACI 318, Section 13.3.6.1.1 is added as follows:13.3.6.1.1 It shall be permitted to calculate Vc for cantilever retaining wall as Vc =2flcbwd.1909.4 ACI 318, Section 13.3.7 Basement Walls is added as follows:13.3.7.1 The design of basement walls to resist out-of-plane lateral earth pressures shall satisfy (a) through (e):(a) Basement walls shall be designed as one-way slabs in accordance with the applicable provision of Chapter 7 or as two-way slabs in accordance with the applicable provision of Chapter 8.(b) Basement walls shall be designed to resist hydrostatic pressure, if applicable.(c) It shall be permitted to calculate the one-way sheer strength of concrete as Vc = 2flcbwd.(d) For two-way shear strength, the size effect factors, as specified in 22.6 shall be taken equal to 1.0.(e) Basement walls shall satisfy the applicable provision of Chapter 18.13.3.7.2.
