Check pure axial capacity - Section 11.5.2
Ultimate axial force; [Link] = 12.64 kips/ft
Axial strength reduction factor - Table 21.2.2; φa = 0.65
Pure axial capacity - cl. 22.4.2; [Link] = 0.80 × (0.85 × f'c × (tstem - [Link].V) + fy × [Link].V) = 562.25
kips/ft
Pure axial design capacity; φ[Link] = φa × [Link] = 365.46 kips/ft
[Link] / φ[Link] = 0.035
PASS - Design axial capacity exceeds ultimate axial force
Braced wall slenderness check - Section 6.2.5
Smaller factored end moment; M1 = 0.00 kips_ft/ft
Larger factored end moment; M2 = 24.04 kips_ft/ft
Unsupported length; lu = 10 ft
Effective length factor; k = 0.70
Radius of gyration - cl. [Link]; r = 0.3 × tstem = 4.8 in
Actual slenderness ratio; sact = k × lu / r = 17.50
Permissible slenderness ratio - cl. [Link]; sperm = min(34 + 12 × abs(M1 / M2), 40) = 34.00
sact / sperm = 0.515
Actual slenderness ratio is less than limit, slenderness effects may be neglected
Check bending capacity when φPn is Pu at bottom of story - Section 22
Ultimate axial force; Pu = 12.64 kips/ft
Ultimate bending moment; Mu = 24.04 kips_ft/ft; (rear face in tension)
Distance to neutral axis (by iteration); c = 1.932 in
Moment of resistance of concrete
Factor of depth of comp. block - table [Link].3; β1 = 0.85
Equivalent comp. block depth - eq. [Link].1; a = β1 × c = 1.642 in
Nominal concrete compression capacity; [Link] = 0.85 × f'c × a = 67.01 kips/ft
Nominal moment of resistance of concrete; [Link] = [Link] × (tstem / 2 - min(a, tstem) / 2) = 40.09 kips_ft/ft
