Lateral Force for One-Story Wall Based on UBC 97
INPUT DATA
WALL THICKNESS t = 8 in
PARAPET HEIGHT hp = 4 ft
WALL HEIGHT h = 20 ft
TOTAL WALL DENSITY r = 130 pcf
SEISMIC ZONE (1, 2A, 2B, 3, or 4) 4 Zone 4
SEISMIC COFFICIENT Ca = 0.57 (UBC Tab. 16-Q)
IMPORTANCE FACTOR Ip = 1.15 (UBC Tab. 16-K)
BASIC WIND VELOCITY V = 70 mph
EXPOSURE TYPE (B, C, D) C

DESIGN SUMMARY
Out-of-plane force for wall design w1 = 41.3 psf (Seismic governs)
Out-of-plane force for parapet design w2 = 135.3 psf (Seismic governs)
Out-of-plane force for anchorage design Fanch = 1169 plf (Horizontal direction)
(The governing seismic forces have been divided by 1.4 for ASD)
