Course Description

Reference Codes

and Standards

Designers are continually getting asked to do more with less in modern

structures; shear walls are no exception to this demand. With more

openings and larger lateral forces, segmented shear wall approaches

do not always produce the most efficient structural design.

This presentation will introduce and compare rational

analysis methods for designing shear walls with

Openings and more importunately cover design

issues not commonly discussed.

Learning Objectives

• FTAO Shear Walls with a Single OpeningReview analytical methods used to solve shear walls with a single

opening.

• FTAO Shear Walls with Multiple OpeningsReview analytical methods used to solve shear walls with

multiple openings.

• Shear Walls with Multiple openings and No HeadersReview analytical methods used to solve shear walls with

cantilever pier sections (no header sections).

• Shear Walls with Small OpeningsReview how to determine when an opening size does not warrant

a detailed analysis.

(Diekmann)-Vierendeel Truss/Frame

Method Assumptions:

• Acts like Vierendeel frame.

• Wall sections shall occur

around all edges of an

opening and shall comply

with allowable A/R.

• Point of inflection occurs mid

height of piers and mid-length

of header/sill sections.

Wd.

• The aspect ratio limitations of

Table 4.3.4 shall apply to the

overall wall and the pier sections

on each side of the openings

• Minimum pier width=2’-0”.

• A full height pier section shall be

located at each end of the wall.

• Where a horizontal offset occurs,

portions on each side of the

offset shall be considered as

separate FTAO walls.

• Collectors for shear transfer shall

be provided through the full

length of the wall.

Limitations:

ATC-7 Guidelines for the design of horizontal wood

diaphragms, 1981, page 13 – Used Diekmann Method

Most codes limit the span to width ratios of diaphragms

and also apply this limit to portions of diaphragms at

openings. A portion of a diaphragm having a ratio

exceeding the limit would be considered ineffective and

thus be ignored in analyzing distribution of forces at an

opening.

When Does an Opening in a Shear Wall Require a Detailed Analysis?

(Mainly mechanical, electrical and plumbing openings)

IBC 2305.1.1

Openings in shear panels (Diaphragms or shear walls) that

materially effect their strength shall be fully detailed on the

plans and shall have their edges adequately reinforced to

transfer all shear stresses.

FPInnovations:

(Designing for openings in wood diaphragms)

Note: Recommendations should be similar

for shear walls as stated below:

It is strongly recommended that analysis for a shear wall with

an opening should be carried out except where all five of the

following items are satisfied:

a. Depth no greater than 15% of shear wall height;

b. Length no greater than 15% of shear wall length;

c. Distance from shear wall edge to the nearest

opening edge is a minimum of 3 times the opening

dimension in the given direction;

d. The shear wall portion between opening and

diaphragm edge satisfies the maximum aspect

ratio requirement. (all sides of the opening)

e. The shear does not exceed the nailing capacity of

the wall without an opening.

Most opening sizes

should be checked for

effects.

Suggestions:

• Use as rough guidance for MEP openings

• If opening is window, use perforated wall design

• If shear stresses are too high, use FTAO method

Page 30: Shear Walls With Openings - SEAoA - Home Convention/2017... · Course Description Reference Codes and Standards Designers are continually getting asked to do more with less in modern

Criteria:

• Opening depth ≤ 0.15H

• Opening length ≤ 0.15L

• Distance from edge ≥ 3 x

the opening dimension

in the given direction;

• The shear wall portions

around opening satisfies

the maximum A/R.

• The shear does not

exceed the nailing capacity

Of the wall w/o an opening.

In summary:

• The methods presented for analyzing openings in shear walls are

approximate methods, requiring some engineering judgement.

• Although it is acceptable practice to ignore gravity loads, their

inclusion should be considered.

• Complete load paths within the wall must be maintained.

• IBC 2305.1.1-Shear walls with openings must be fully detailed on

the drawings.
