The length required to develop plain bars is much greater than for deformed bars and more sensitive to cracking in concrete.

COMMENTARY



Design values for dowel bars not satisfying these condi­ tions shall be verified by test data. Field samples shall be obtained to ensure that design strengths are developed in accordance with Chapter 3 . g) Square reinforcing bars in a building should b e classi­ fied as either twisted or straight. The developed strength of twisted square bars shall be as specified for deformed bars in this section, using an effective diameter calculated based on the area of the square bar. Straight square bars shall be considered plain bars, and the developed strength shall be as specified for plain bars in this section. 3.6-Con nections to existing concrete Connections used to connect two or more components shall be classified according to their anchoring systems as cast-in-place or as post-installed and shall be evaluated and designed according to Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M- 14 as modi­ tied in this section. The properties of the existing anchors and connection systems obtained in accordance with 2.2 herein shall be considered in the evaluation. These provi­ sions do not apply to connections in plastic hinge zones.



C3.6-Connections to existing concrete Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M- 14 accounts for the influence of cracking on the load capacity of connectors; however, cracking and spalling expected in plastic hinge zones is likely to be more severe than the level of damage for which Chapter 1 7 is applicable. ACI 3 5 5 .2 and ACI 355 .4M describe simulated seismic tests that can be used for qualifi­ cation of post-installed anchors. Such tests do not simulate the conditions expected in plastic hinge zones. The 2006 version of ASCE 41 required the load capacity of anchors placed in areas where cracking is expected to be reduced by a factor of 0.5. This provision was included in FEMA 273 for both cast-in-place and post-installed anchors, before the introduction of ACI 3 1 8M-02 Appendix D. Because cracking is now accounted for in ACI 3 1 8M, the 0.5 factor is not required in 3 .6 of this standard. Capacities of existing anchors should be evaluated based on the obtained properties in accordance with 2.2, and Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M-14. If the anchors are not tested to failure but to a load based on the force-controlled action determined by the engineer for the seismic hazard under consideration, the procedure in Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M- 14 can be used to calculate available strength based on the test results and the geometry of anchors measured or assumed by the engineer. To evaluate the capacity of existing cast-in-place and post-installed anchors using ACI 3 1 8M- 14 Chapter 17, it is necessary to know the geometry of the anchor (that is, embedment, edge distance, spacing, and anchor diameter) and material properties. Edge distance, spacing, and anchor diameter can be established from construction documents or by visual inspection. Unless known from construction docu­ ments, embedment and material properties of the anchor are more difficult to determine. Where failure of the anchor is not critical to meeting the target performance level, embed­ ment of post-installed anchors can be assumed equal to the minimum embedment required by manufacturer's speci­ fications for the anchor type in question. For cast-in-place anchors, embedment can be taken as less than or equal to the minimum embedment from the original design code for an embedded bolt of the same diameter. It is recommended that where the consequence of failure of an anchor is critical to satisfying the target performance level, anchor embedment not known from construction documents is determined by nondestructive testing (for example, ultrasonic testing).

Lower-bound properties for steel connector materials and concrete strength based on default values, construction documents, or test values can be assumed for anchor strength calculations. It is noted that direct testing of anchors can provide greater certainty and can provide higher capacities. Judgment should be exercised in the use of default lower­ bound material properties because doing so may not yield a conservative estimate of anchor capacity in cases where the steel strength is determined to govern the anchor capacity, and additional requirements ofACI 3 1 8M- 1 4 Chapter 1 7 for ductile behavior are waived as a result. Not all manufacturers of post-installed anchors publish information on the mean and the standard deviation ofthe ulti­ mate anchor capacity. Older testing for existing post-installed anchors is often reported at allowable stress design levels and may not comply with the requirements of Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M- 1 4 for simulated seismic tests. Care and judgment should be used in determining pullout strength for anchors, particularly those that are critical to satisfying the target performance level. Where necessary, in-place strengths of anchors can be obtained or verified by static testing of repre­ sentative anchors. ACI 355 .2 and ACI 355.4M can be used for guidance on testing. Proper installation of post-installed anchors is critical to their performance and should be verified in all cases. 3.6.1 Cast-in-place anchors and connection systems-All



C3.6.1 Cast-in-place anchors and connection systems­



component actions on cast-in-place anchors and connection systems shall be considered force-controlled. Lower-bound strength of the anchors and connections shall be nominal strength as specified in Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M- 1 4 for the connections of structural components. The amplifica­ tion factor to account for the seismic overstrength, n0, shall be taken equal to unity for the connections of structural components. A strength reduction factor and amplification factor no shall be used for the connections ofnonstructural components.



The strength reduction factor in ACI 3 1 8M is taken equal to unity for the lower-bound connection strength of struc­ tural components, but the requirements in 1 7 .2.3 of ACI 3 1 8M- 1 4 need to be satisfied, including the reduction of the strength due to cracked concrete and cyclic loading. The component actions on the anchors and connection systems for structural components are considered as force-controlled actions according to 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7, so further amplification of the seismic demand is not necessary. However, the seismic demand on nonstructural compo­ nents in Chapter 13 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 is based on that in ASCE 7. A strength reduction factor and amplification factor no should be consistent with the demand.



3.6.2 Post-installed anchors-All component actions on post-installed anchor connection systems shall be considered force-controlled. The lower-bound capacity of post-installed anchors shall be nominal strength, as specified in Chapter 1 7 of ACI 3 1 8M-14, or mean less one standard deviation of ultimate values published in approved test reports for the connections of structural components. The amplifica­ tion factor to account for the seismic overstrength, n0, shall be taken equal to unity for the connections of structural components. A strength reduction factor and amplification factor n0 shall be used for the connections of nonstructural components.



C3.6.2 Post-installed anchors-The strength reduction factor in ACI 3 1 8M is taken equal to unity for the lower­ bound connection strength of structural components, but the requirements in 1 7.2.3 of ACI 3 1 8M- 14 need to be satis­ fied, including the reduction of the strength due to cracked concrete and cyclic loading. The component actions on post­ installed anchors for structural components are considered force-controlled actions according to 7.5.2 and 7.5.3 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7, so further amplification of the seismic demand is not necessary. However, the seismic demand on nonstructural compo­ nents in Chapter 1 3 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 is based on that in ASCE 7. Strength reduction factor and amplification factor no should be consistent with the demand.

3.7-Retrofit measures Seismic retrofit measures for concrete buildings shall meet the requirements of this section and other provisions of this standard. Retrofit measures shall include replacement or retrofit of the component or modification of the structure so that the component is no longer deficient for the selected perfor­ mance objective. If component replacement is selected, the new component shall be designed in accordance with this standard and detailed and constructed in compliance with the applicable building code. Retrofit measures shall be evaluated to ensure that the completed retrofit achieves the selected performance objec­ tive. The effects of retrofit on stiffness, strength, and deform­ ability shall be taken into account in an analytical model of the rehabilitated structure. The compatibility of new and existing components shall be checked at displacements consistent with the selected performance level. Connections required between existing and new compo­ nents shall satisfy the requirements of 3 .6 and other require­ ments of this standard.

CHAPTER 4-CONCRETE MOMENT FRAMES 4.1 -Types of concrete moment frames Concrete moment frames are defined as elements composed primarily of horizontal frame components, such as beams, slabs, or both; vertical frame components, such as columns; and joints connecting horizontal and vertical frame components. To resist seismic forces, these elements act alone or in conjunction with shear walls, braced frames, or other elements. Frames that are cast monolithically, including monolithic concrete frames created by the addition of new material, are addressed in this chapter. Frames addressed include reinforced concrete beam-column moment frames, post­ tensioned concrete beam-column moment frames, and slab­ column moment frames. The frame classifications in 4. 1 . 1 through 4. 1 .3 include existing construction, new construction, existing construc­ tion that has been retrofitted, frames intended as part of the seismic-force-resisting system, and frames not intended as part of the seismic-force-resisting system in the original design. 4.1.1 Reiriforced concrete beam-column momentframes­



Reinforced concrete beam-column moment frames, addressed in 4.2, are defined by the following conditions: a) Frame components are beams with or without slabs, columns, and their connections. b) Frames are of monolithic construction that provide for moment and shear transfer between beams and columns. c) Primary reinforcement in components contributing to seismic-force resistance is nonprestressed. 4.1.2 Post-tensioned concrete beam-column moment frames Post-tensioned concrete beam-column moment -



frames, addressed in 4.3, are defined by the following conditions: a) Frame components are beams (with or without slabs), columns, and their connections. b) Frames are of monolithic construction that provide for moment and shear transfer between beams and columns. c) Primary reinforcement in beams contributing to seismic force resistance includes post-tensioned reinforcement with or without nonprestressed reinforcement. 4.1.3 Slab-column moment frames Slab-column moment frames, addressed in 2.4, are defined by the following conditions: a) Frame components are slabs with or without beams in the transverse direction, columns, and their connections. b) Frames are of monolithic construction that provide for moment and shear transfer between slabs and columns. c) Primary reinforcement in slabs contributing to seismic force resistance includes nonprestressed reinforcement, prestressed reinforcement, or both. -

4.2-Reinforced concrete beam-col umn moment frames 4.2. 1 General-The analytical model for a beam-column frame element shall represent strength, stiffness, and defor­ mation capacity ofbeams, columns, beam-columnjoints, and other components of the frame, including connections with other elements. Potential failure in flexure, shear, and rein­ forcement development at any section along the component length shall be considered. Interaction with other elements, including nonstructural components, shall be included. Analytical models representing a beam-column frame using line elements with properties concentrated at compo­ nent centerlines shall be permitted. Where beam and column centerlines do not intersect, the eccentricity effects between frame centerlines shall be considered. Where the centerline of the narrower component falls within the middle one-third of the adjacent frame component measured transverse to the framing direction, this eccentricity need not be considered. Where larger eccentricities occur, the effect shall be repre­ sented either by reductions in effective stiffness, strength, and deformation capacity or by direct modeling of the eccentricity. The beam-column joint in monolithic construction is the zone having horizontal dimensions equal to the column cross-sectional dimensions and vertical dimension equal to the beam depth. A wider joint is acceptable where the beam is wider than the column. The beam-column joint shall be modeled according to 4.2.2 or as justified by experimental evidence. The model of the connection between columns and foundation shall be selected based on details of the column-foundation connection and rigidity of the founda­ tion-soil system. Action of the slab as a diaphragm interconnecting vertical components shall be considered. Action of the slab as a composite beam flange shall be considered in developing stiffness, strength, and deformation capacities of the beam component model per 3 . 1 .3 . Inelastic action shall be restricted to those components and actions listed in Tables 7 through 9, except where it is demonstrated by experimental evidence and analysis that other inelastic action is acceptable for the selected perfor­ mance level. Acceptance criteria are specified in 4.2.4.



C4.2-Rei nforced concrete beam-column moment frames C4.2.1 General-Nonstructural components should be included in the analytical model if such elements contribute significantly to building stiffness, modify dynamic prop­ erties, or have significant impact on the behavior of adja­ cent structural elements. Section 7.2.3.3 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 suggests that nonstructural components should b e included if their lateral stiffness exceeds 10 percent of the total initial lateral stiffness of a story. Partial infill walls and staircases are examples of nonstructural elements that can alter the behavior of adjacent concrete structural elements.

Columns shall b e modeled considering flexural, shear, and axial stiffnesses. Refer to 3 . 1 .2 to compute the effective stiff­ nesses. Where joint stiffness is not modeled explicitly, it shall be permitted to be modeled implicitly by adjusting a centerline model (Fig. 2): a) For 'L.Mco!EI''f£fi18 > 1 .2, column offsets are rigid and beam offsets are not.



approaches to explicitly model beam-column joints are available in El-Metwally and Chen (1 988), Ghobarah and Biddah ( 1 999), Shin and LaFave (2004), Mitra and Lowes (2007), and Lin and Restrepo (2002). For simplicity of implementation in commercial structural analysis software and agreement with calibration studies performed in the development of this standard, this section defines an implicit beam-column j oint modeling technique using centerline models with semi-rigid joint offsets.

joint modeling approach. In the implicit joint model, only a portion of the beam, column, or both, within the geometric joint region is defined as rigid. In typical commercial soft­ ware packages, this portion can range from 0, in which case the model is a true centerline model, to 1 .0, where the entire joint region is rigid. Further commentary is provided in C3. 1 .2 . 1 , and background material is provided in Elwood et a!. (2007) and Birely et a!. (2009).



4.2.2.2 Nonlinear static procedure-Nonlinear load­ deformation relations shall comply with 3 . 1 .2. Nonlinear modeling parameters for beams, columns, and beam-column joints are provided in Tables 7, 8, 9, and 12. Beams and columns shall be modeled using concentrated or distributed plastic hinge models. Other models whose behavior represents the behavior of reinforced concrete beam and column components subjected to seismic loading shall be permitted. The beam and column model shall be capable of representing inelastic response along the compo­ nent length, except where it is shown by equilibrium that yielding is restricted to the component ends. Where nonlinear response is expected in a mode other than flexure, the model shall be established to represent such effects. Monotonic load-deformation relations shall be estab­ lished according to the generalized load-deformation rela­ tion shown in Fig. 1 , with the exception that different rela­ tions shall be permitted where verified by experiments. The overall load-deformation relation shall be established so that maximum resistance is consistent with the strength specifi­ cations of 3.2 and 4.2.3. For beams and columns, the generalized deformation in Fig. 1 is plastic hinge rotation. For beam-column joints, the generalized deformation is shear strain. Values of the gener-



C4.2.2.2 Nonlinear static procedure-The modeling parameters and acceptance criteria specified in Tables 8 and 9 reflect results from research on reinforced concrete columns and an updated database of columns tests that includes 3 1 9 rectangular and 1 7 1 circular column tests without lap splices (Ghannoum et a!. 20 1 5a,b), and a database of 39 rectangular columns containing lap splices (Ghannoum 20 1 7). Most circular columns in the database contained spiral reinforce­ ment. Separate tables are given for rectangular columns (Table 8) and spirally reinforced circular columns (Table 9). For circular columns reinforced with ties not conforming to ACI 3 1 8M seismic hoop designation, Table 8 should be used. The three parameters that are used in Tables 8 and 9 to calculate modeling parameters and acceptance criteria for columns not controlled by inadequate development or splicing are: axial load ratio, transverse reinforcement ratio, and ratio of shear demand at flexural yielding to shear capacity ( Vy£/ Vco!o£). For columns controlled by inadequate development or splicing, the same modeling parameters were introduced for rectangular and circular columns in Tables 8 and 9 and are related to: axial load ratio, transverse reinforcement ratio, and the ratio of transverse reinforcement to longitudinal reinforcement strength.

alized deformation at Points B, C, and D shall be derived from experiments or rational analyses and shall take into account the interactions among flexure, axial load, and shear. Acceptance criteria in Tables 8 and 9 were selected as 1 5 percent of the a11e values for immediate occupancy, 50 percent of the b,e values for life safety, and 70 percent of the b, e values for collapse prevention. The fractions of b,e values were selected based on Table C2 to achieve low probabilities of axial failure for columns satisfying the acceptance criteria. These probabilities were 1 0 percent and 25 percent for life safety and collapse prevention, respectively. Note that the probabilities of exceedance in Table C l correspond to the probability of failure for a column given a plastic rotation demand equal to the modeling parameter scaled by the appropriate multiplier in Table C2. Most laboratory tests ignore some factors that can influence the drift capacity, such as loading history and bidirectional loading. The probabilities of exceedance in Table C2 can therefore be larger if these factors are considered. Databases used to assess the model conservatism consist of rectangular and circular columns subjected to unidirectional lateral forces applied parallel to either one of the column



The modeling parameters in Tables 8 and 9 define the plastic rotations according to Fig. l (a). As shown in Fig. 1 (a), modeling parameter a11 e provides the plastic rotation at significant loss of lateral force capacity. For the purposes of determining a11e values based on test data, it was assumed that this point represented a 20 percent or greater reduction in the lateral force resistance from the measured peak shear capacity. For columns expected to experience flexural failures ( Vy£/Vcoto£ :S 0.6), such loss of lateral load resistance can be caused by concrete crushing, bar buckling, and other flexural damage mechanisms. For columns expected to experience shear failures, either before or after flexural yielding ( Vy£/Vcoto£ > 0.6), loss of lateral load resistance is commonly caused by severe diagonal cracking indicative of shear damage. For columns with inadequate anchorage or splicing, loss of lateral load resistance is caused by bond splitting failures that gradually unload the longitudinal bars. Consistent with 7 .5. 1 .2 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7, modeling parameter bn1 provides an estimate of the plastic rotation at the loss of gravity load support, that is, axial load failure. Modeling parameters given in Tables 8 and 9 represent median estimates of parameters extracted from columns in

CHAPTER 5-PRECAST CONCRETE FRAM ES 5.1-Types of precast concrete frames Precast concrete frames shall be defined as those elements constructed from individually made beams and columns assembled to resist externally applied loads through frame action. These systems shall include those that are consid­ ered in design to resist seismic forces and those that are considered in design as secondary elements that do not resist seismic forces but must resist the effects of deformations resulting from seismic forces.

either wet or dry joints (connections are made by bolting, welding, post-tensioning, or other similar means) in a way that results in significant seismic force resistance in the frame element. Frames of this classification resist seismic forces either acting alone or acting in conjunction with shear walls, braced frames, or other seismic-force-resisting elements.



FEMA P-750 and are based on ACI 3 1 8M, which speci­ fies safety and serviceability levels expected from precast concrete frame construction. In the referenced documents, precast frames are not classified by the method of construc­ tion (wet or dry j oints), but by the expected behavior resulting from the detailing used. In addition to recognizing varying levels of ductile performance as a result of overall frame detailing, ACI 3 1 8M- 14, 1 8.9.2. 1 , 1 8 .9.2.2, and 1 8 .9.2.3, acknowledge three types of unit-to-unit connec­ tions that can result in the highest level of performance. Such connections are either strong or ductile, as defined in 4.2, 1 8.9.2 . 1 , 1 8 .9.2.2, and 1 8.9.2.3 ofACI 3 1 8M- 1 4 or have demonstrated acceptable performance where tested in accor­ dance with ACI 374. 1 .

be assembled using dry joints in a way that does not result in significant seismic force resistance in the frame element. Other structural elements or systems such as shear walls, braced frames, or moment frames provide the entire seismic force resistance, with the precast concrete frame system deforming in a manner that is compatible with the structure as a whole. 5.2-Precast concrete frames expected to resist seismic forces 5.2.1 General-The analytical model for a frame element of this classification shall represent strength, stiffness, and deformation capacity of beams, columns, beam-column joints, and other components of the frame. Potential failure in flexure, shear, and reinforcement development at any section along the component length shall be considered. Interaction with other components, including nonstructural components, shall be included. All other considerations of 4.2 . 1 shall be taken into account. In addition, the effects of shortening caused by creep, and other effects of prestressing and post-tensioning on member behavior, shall be evaluated. Where dry joints are used in assembling the precast system, consideration shall be given to the effect of those joints on overall behavior. Where connections yield under the speci­ fied seismic forces, the analysis model shall take this effect into account.

CHAPTER 6-CONCRETE FRAMES WITH IN FILLS 6. 1 -Types of concrete frames with infills Concrete frames with infills consist of complete gravity-load­ canying concrete frames infilled with masoruy or concrete, constructed in such a way that the infill and the concrete frame interact when subjected to gravity and seismic forces. Infills are considered to be isolated from the surrounding frame when the minimum gap requirements specified in 1 1 .4. 1 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 are satisfied. If all infills in a frame are isolated, the frame shall be analyzed as an isolated frame according to provisions given in Chapters 6, 7, and 1 1 , and the isolated infill panels shall be analyzed according to the requirements of Chapter 1 1 of ASCE 4 1 - 17.



C6.1 -Types of concrete frames with infills



6.1 . 1 Types offrames-The provisions of Chapter 6 shall apply to concrete frames, as defined in Chapters 4, 5, and 9, which interact with infills. 6.1.2 Masonry infills-The provisions of Chapter 4 shall apply to masonry infills, as defined in Chapter 1 1 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7, which interact with concrete frames. 6.1.3 Concrete infills-The provisions of Chapter 6 shall apply to concrete infills that interact with concrete frames, where the infills were constructed to fill the space within the bay of a complete gravity frame without special provision for continuity from story to story. The concrete of the infill shall be evaluated separately from the concrete of the frame.



C6.1.3 Concrete infills-The construction of concrete­ infilled frames is similar to that of masonry-infilled frames, except that the infill is of concrete instead ofmasonry units. In older existing buildings, concrete infill commonly contains nominal reinforcement, which often does not extend into the surrounding frame elements. The concrete used in the infill is often lower quality than that used in the frame elements and should be evaluated separately from investigations of the frame concrete.



6.2-Concrete frames with masonry infills 6.2.1 General-The analytical model for a concrete frame with masoruy infills shall represent strength, stiff­ ness, and deformation capacity of beams, slabs, columns, beam-column joints, masonry infills, and all connections and components of the element. Potential failure in flexure, shear, anchorage, reinforcement development, or crushing at any section shall be considered. Interaction with nonstruc­ tural components shall be included. For a concrete frame with masonry infill resisting seismic forces within its plane, modeling of the response using a linear elastic model shall be permitted, provided that the infill does not crack when subjected to design seismic forces. If the infill does not crack when subjected to design seismic forces, modeling the assemblage of frame and infill as a homogeneous medium shall be permitted. For a concrete frame with masonry infills that cracks when subjected to design seismic forces, modeling of the response using a diagonally braced frame model, in which the columns act as vertical chords, the beams act as hori­ zontal ties, and the infill acts as an equivalent compression strut, shall be permitted. Requirements for the equivalent

1 1 .4 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 for masonry infills, can also be effec­ tive in retrofitting concrete frames with masonry infills. The licensed design professional is referred to FEMA 308 for further information in this regard. In addition, the following retrofit measures can be effective in rehabilitating concrete frames with infills: a) Post-tensioning existing beams, columns, or joints using external post-tensioned reinforcement. Vertical post­ tensioning can be effective in increasing tensile capacity of columns acting as boundary zones. Anchorages should be located away from regions where inelastic action is antici­ pated and should be designed considering possible force variations caused by seismic forces. b) Modification of the element by selective material removal from the existing element. Either the infill should be completely removed from the frame or gaps should be provided between the frame and the infill. In the latter case, the gap requirements of Chapter 1 1 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 should be satisfied and adequate measures must be taken to guar­ antee the out-of-plane stability of the infill. c) Changing the building system to reduce the demands on the existing element.

The analytical model shall be established considering the relative stiffness and strength of the frame and the infill, as well as the level of deformations and associated damage. For low deformation levels, and for cases where the frame is relatively flexible, the infilled frame shall be permitted to be modeled as a shear wall, with openings modeled where they occur. In other cases, the frame-infill system shall be permitted to be modeled using a braced-frame analogy such as that described for concrete frames with masonry infills in 6.2. Frame components shall be evaluated for forces imparted to them through interaction of the frame with the infill as speci­ fied in Chapter 1 1 of ASCE 41-17. In frames with full-height infills, the evaluation shall include the effect of strut compres­ sion forces applied to the column and beam eccentric from the beam-column joint.

COMMENTARY



CHAPTER 7-CONCRETE STRUCTURAL WALLS 7.1 -Types of concrete structural walls and associated components The provisions of Chapter 7 shall apply to all reinforced concrete structural walls in all types of structural systems that incorporate reinforced concrete structural walls. These types include isolated structural walls, structural walls used in wall-frame systems, coupled structural walls, and discon­ tinuous structural walls. Structural walls shall be permitted to be considered as solid walls if they have openings that do not significantly influence the strength or inelastic behavior of the wall. Perforated structural walls shall be defined as walls that have a regular pattern of openings in both hori­ zontal and vertical directions that creates a series of wall pier (vertical wall segment) and deep beam components (hori­ zontal wall segment). Coupling beams shall comply with provisions of 7.2 and shall be exempted from the provisions for beams covered in Chapter 4.



C7.1 -Types of concrete structural walls and associated components Concrete structural walls are planar vertical elements or combinations of interconnected planar elements that serve as lateral-load-resisting elements in concrete structures. Struc­ tural walls (or wall segments) shall be considered slender if their aspect ratio (h,jfw [height/length]) is greater than 3.0 and shall be considered short or squat if their aspect ratio is less than 1 .5 . Slender walls are normally controlled by flex­ ural behavior; short walls are normally controlled by shear behavior. The response of walls with intermediate aspect ratios is influenced by both flexure and shear. Identification of component types in concrete structural wall elements depends, to some degree, on the relative strengths ofthe wall segments based on expected or measured material properties. Vertical segments are often termed "wall piers", whereas horizontal segments can be called "coupling beams" or "spandrels". The licensed design professional is referred to FEMA 3 06 for additional information regarding the behavior of concrete wall components. Selected infor­ mation from FEMA 306 has been reproduced in Table C3 and Fig. C3 to clarify wall component identification.

continuous in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and bars are typically lap-spliced for tension continuity. The reinforcement mesh can also contain horizontal ties around vertical bars that are concentrated either near the vertical edges of a wall with constant thickness or in boundary members formed at the wall edges. The amount and spacing of these ties is important for determining how well the concrete at the wall edge is confined and, thus, for deter­ mining the lateral deformation capacity of the wall. In general, slender reinforced concrete structural walls are governed by flexure and tend to form a plastic flexural hinge near the base of the wall under severe lateral loading. The ductility of the wall is a function of the percentage of longitudinal reinforcement concentrated near the bound-

In general, higher axial load stresses and higher shear stresses reduce the flexural ductility and energy-absorbing capability of the wall. Short or squat structural walls are normally governed by shear. These walls normally have a limited ability to deform beyond the elastic range and continue to resist seismic forces.

not uncommon to find that some walls are terminated either to create commercial space in the first story or to create parking spaces in the basement. In such cases, the walls are commonly supported by columns. Such designs are not recommended in seismic zones because very large demands can be placed on these columns during earthquake loading. In older buildings, such columns often have standard longi­ tudinal and transverse reinforcement; the behavior of such columns during past earthquakes indicates that tightly spaced closed ties with well-anchored 1 35-degree hooks are required for the building to survive severe seismic forces.



7.1.3 Reinforced concrete coupling beams-Reinforced concrete coupling beams used to link two shear walls together shall be evaluated and rehabilitated to comply with the requirements of7.2.



C7.1.3 Reinforced concrete coupling beams-Coupled walls are generally much stiffer and stronger than they would be if they acted independently. Coupling beams typically have a small span-depth ratio, and their inelastic behavior is normally affected by the high shear forces acting in these components. Coupling beams in most older reinforced concrete buildings commonly have conventional reinforce­ ment that consists of longitudinal flexural steel and trans­ verse steel for shear. In some more modern buildings, or in buildings where coupled structural walls are used for seismic retrofit, the coupling beams can use diagonal reinforcement as the primary reinforcement for both flexure and shear. The inelastic behavior of coupling beams that use diagonal rein­ forcement has been shown experimentally to be much better with respect to retention of strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity than the observed behavior of coupling beams with nonprestressed reinforcement.

The flexural strength of beam-column elements shall include the interaction of axial load and bending, and shall be calculated based on expected material properties. The rigid connection zone at beam connections to this equivalent beam-column element shall represent the distance from the wall centroid to the edge of the wall. Unsymmetrical wall sections shall be modeled with the different bending capaci­ ties for the two loading directions. A beam element that incorporates both bending and shear deformations shall be used to model coupling beams. The



C7.2-Reinforced concrete structural walls, wall segments, and coupling beams C7.2.1 General-For rectangular structural walls, wall segments with h,j£\V :S 2.5 and flanged wall sections with h,/EIV :S 3 .5, either a modified beam-column analogy or a multiple-node, multiple-spring approach should be used. Because structural walls usually respond in single curvature over a story height, one multiple-spring element per story can be used for modeling walls. Wall segments should be modeled with either the beam-column element or with a multiple-spring model with two elements over the length of the wall segment. Coupling beams that have diagonal reinforcement satis­ fying ACI 3 1 8M requirements commonly have a stable hysteretic response under large load reversals. Therefore, these members could adequately be modeled with beam elements used for typical frame analyses.

recommendations for flexure-controlled structural walls are intended to provide a secant-to-yield stiffness, neglecting the effect of wall stiffness properties prior to flexural cracking on the calculated response. When significant flexural cracking is expected to occur, the initial wall stiffness is not considered to have a significant effect on calculated nonlinear deforma­ tions because demands generally exceed the cracking load during the first significant cycle of dynamic loading. In cases where little to no cracking is expected to occur, the licensed design professional can use iterative analytical techniques to obtain a more accurate approximation of the wall stiffness. To calculate the effective stiffness to yield of flexure­ controlled walls, the 20 1 3 version of ASCE 4 1 recom­ mended using a reduction factor for the gross moment of inertia of 0.5 times Ig. However, experimental studies of slender walls pushed to yield-level drifts have shown lower stiffness reduction factors, in the range of 0. 1 5 to 0.25 times the gross moment of inertia (PEER 20 1 0; Panagiotou and Restrepo 2007; Priestley et al. 2007). An important limi­ tation of this type of approach is that the calculated effec­ tive wall stiffness is independent of parameters such as the vertical reinforcement ratio and axial load. For a given concrete cross section, studies have shown that yield curvature is not sensitive to reinforcing ratio and axial loads (Wallace and Moehle 1992). Equations that rely on the yield curvature to calculate the effective stiffness (Priestley and Kowalski 1998) have been shown to provide estimates of effec­ tive stiffness that are in reasonable agreement with experimen­ tally measured values when axial loads and reinforcement ratios are relatively low. For the case where Nuci(AJ�E) :S 0. 1 5 and Pe :S 0.0 1 , the effective yield curvature tPy£ can be approximated for planar concrete walls as yE

COMMENTARY



Alternatively, moment-curvature analysis can be used, and a more general relationship for wall flexural rigidity can be derived (C6) where AfJyE is evaluated using an applied axial load Nuc· Where inadequate anchorage or splices are present, the calculated moment strength used to evaluate wall flexural rigidity should be based on the reduced reinforcement capacity in accordance with 3 . 5 . When bond slip is expected at the interface between the structural wall and the anchoring supporting element, the additional flexibility at the interface should be accounted for. A rigid-body rotation associated with bond slip of the longitudinal reinforcing bars within the foundation occurs at the wall-to-foundation interface, which adds to wall defor­ mations. Where this type of behavior is anticipated, the additional flexibility can be accounted for either implicitly by reducing the wall effective flexural rigidity or explicitly by introducing a flexible rotational spring. There are several methodologies available for approximating bond slip. For continuous walls, an acceptable approach for capturing the effects of bond slip is to modify the effective flexural rigidity of the wall in the story directly above the interface as follows (EJ)

Equation (C7) assumes a constant yield curvature profile over the first-floor height and compares well against shake table testing from multi-story building prototypes. With this method, the flexibility associated with bar slip is lumped within the story above the interface, and only the moment of inertia over the height is modified for bond slip. Above the height Eq. (C6) can be used to estimate wall flexural rigidity using yield moments and curvatures at wall hinges or using the expected maximum moments and associated curvatures at the levels considered. The strain penetration depth fsp in this equation is meant to approximate the length over which flexural longitudinal bar strains penetrate into the foundation system and can be approximated as follows for the purpose of approximating bar slip. Equation (C5) was derived assuming an average bond stress of l .O 'ifc ' (MPa), which was shown to be an appropriate estimate of average bar stresses into the founda­ tion under earthquake excitations (Ghannoum and Moehle 2012). Other equations and methodologies have been proposed to account for strain penetration and deformations from bar slip (Priestley et al. 2007).

COMMENTARY



a) Addition of wall boundary elements: Addition of boundary elements can be an effective measure in strength­ ening walls or wall segments that have insufficient flexural strength. These members can be either cast-in-place rein­ forced concrete components or steel sections. In both cases, proper connections should be made between the existing wall and the added components. The shear demand and shear capacity of the retrofitted wall should be reevaluated. b) Addition of confinement j ackets at wall boundaries: Increasing the confinement at the wall boundaries by the addition of a steel or reinforced concrete jacket can be an effective measure in improving the flexural deformation capacity of a structural wall. For both types of jackets, the longitudinal steel should not be continuous from story to story unless the jacket is also being used to increase the flex­ ural capacity. The minimum thickness for a concrete jacket should be 75 mm. Carbon fiber wrap should be permitted for improving the confinement of concrete in compression. c) Reduction of flexural strength: Reduction in the flex­ ural capacity of a structural wall to change the governing failure mode from shear to flexure can be an effective retrofit measure. It can be accomplished by saw-cutting a specified number of longitudinal bars near the edges of the wall. d) Increased shear strength of wall: Increasing the shear strength of the web of a structural wall by casting additional reinforced concrete adjacent to the wall web can be an effec­ tive retrofit measure. The new concrete should be at least 1 00 mm thick and should contain horizontal and vertical reinforcement. The new concrete should be properly bonded to the existing web of the structural wall. The use of carbon fiber sheets, epoxied to the concrete surface, should also be permitted to increase the shear capacity of a shear wall. e) Confinement j ackets to improve deformation capacity of coupling beams and columns supporting discontinuous structural walls: The use of confinement



j ackets described previously as a retrofit measure for wall boundaries, and in Chapter 2 for frame elements, can also be effective in increasing both the shear capacity and the defor­ mation capacity of coupling beams and columns supporting discontinuous structural walls. f) Infilling between columns supporting discontinuous structural walls: Where a discontinuous structural wall is supported on columns that lack either sufficient strength or deformation capacity to satisfy design criteria, making the wall continuous by infilling the opening between these columns can be an effective retrofit measure. The infill and existing columns should be designed to satisfy all the requirements for new wall construction, including any strengthening of the existing columns required by adding a concrete or steel jacket for strength and increased confine­ ment. The opening below a discontinuous structural wall should also be permitted to be infilled with steel bracing. The bracing members should be sized to satisfy all design requirements, and the columns should be strengthened with a steel or a reinforced concrete j acket.

COMMENTARY



CHAPTER 8-PR ECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURAL WALLS 8.1 -Types of precast structural walls Precast concrete structural walls shall consist of story­ high or half-story-high precast wall segments that are made continuous through the use of either mechanical connec­ tors or reinforcement splicing techniques with or without a cast-in-place connection strip. Connections between precast segments shall be permitted along both the horizontal and vertical edges of a wall segment. The following types of precast structural walls are addressed in Chapter 8: a) Effectively monolithic construction, defined as construc­ tion in which the reinforcement connections are made to be stronger than the adjacent precast panels so that the lateral load response of the precast wall system is comparable to that for monolithic structural walls b) Jointed construction, defined as construction in which inelastic action is permitted to occur at the connections between precast panels c) Tilt-up construction, defined as a special technique for precast wall construction where there are vertical joints between adjacent panels and horizontal joints at the founda­ tion level, and where the roof or floor diaphragm connects with the tilt-up panel 8.1.1 Effectively monolithic construction-For this type of precast wall, the connections between precast wall elements are designed and detailed to be stronger than the panels they connect. Precast structural walls and wall segments of effectively monolithic construction shall be evaluated by the criteria defined in Chapter 7.



8.1.2 Jointed construction-Precast structural walls and wall segments of jointed construction shall be evaluated by the criteria defined in 8.2.



C8. 1 -Types of precast structural walls



C8.1.1 Effectively monolithic construction-When the precast structural wall is subjected to lateral loading, any yielding and inelastic behavior should take place in the panel elements away from the connections. If the reinforcement detailing in the panel is similar to that for cast-in-place struc­ tural walls, then the inelastic response of a precast structural wall should be similar to that for a cast-in-place wall. Modern building codes permit the use ofprecast structural wall construction in high seismic zones if it satisfies the criteria for cast-in-place structural wall construction. C8.1.2 Jointed construction-For most older structures that contain precast structural walls, and for some modern construction, inelastic activity can be expected in the connec­ tions between precast wall panels during severe lateral loading. Because joints between precast walls in older build­ ings have often exhibited brittle behavior during inelastic load reversals, jointed construction was not permitted in high seismic zones. Therefore, where evaluating older build­ ings that contain precast walls that are likely to respond as j ointed construction, the permissible ductilities and rotation capacities provided in the following, which are less than those given in Chapter 7, should be reduced. For some modern structures, precast structural walls have been constructed with special connectors that are detailed to exhibit ductile response and energy absorption character­ istics. Many of these connectors are proprietary, and only limited experimental evidence concerning their inelastic behavior is available. Although this type of construction is clearly safer than j ointed construction in older buildings,

the experimental evidence is not sufficient to permit the use of the same ductility and rotation capacities given for cast­ in-place construction. Thus, the permissible values given in Chapter 5 should be reduced. Section 9.6 of FEMA 450 provides testing criteria that can be used to validate design values consistent with the highest performance of monolithic structural wall construction. 8.1.3 Tilt-up construction-Structural walls and wall segments of tilt-up type of precast walls shall be evaluated by the criteria defined in 8.2.



C8.1.3 Tilt-up construction-Tilt-up construction should be considered a special case of jointed construction. The walls for most buildings constructed by the tilt-up method are longer than their height. Shear would usually govern their in-plane design, except where there are significant openings in the wall panels-for example, door openings at loading dock areas of warehouses. The major concern for most tilt-up construction is the connection between the tilt-up wall and the roof diaphragm. That connection should be analyzed carefully to be sure the diaphragm forces can be transmitted safely to the precast wall system.



8.2-Precast concrete structural walls and wall segments 8.2.1 General-The analytical model for a precast concrete structural wall or wall segment shall represent the stiffness, strength, and deformation capacity of the overall member, as well as the connections and joints between any precast panel components that compose the wall. Potential failure in flexure, shear, and reinforcement development at any point in the wall panels or connections shall be consid­ ered. Interaction with other structural and nonstructural components shall be included. Modeling of precast concrete structural walls and wall segments within the precast panels as equivalent frame elements that include both flexural and shear deforma­ tions shall be permitted. The rigid-connection zone at beam connections to these equivalent frame elements shall repre­ sent the distance from the wall centroid to the edge of the wall or wall segment. The different bending capacities for the two loading directions of unsymmetrical precast wall sections shall be modeled. For precast structural walls and wall segments where shear deformations have a more significant effect on behavior than flexural deformation, a multiple spring model shall be used. The diaphragm action of concrete slabs connecting precast structural walls and frame columns shall be represented in the model.



C8.2-Precast concrete structural walls and wall segments



8.2.2 Stiffness of precast concrete structural walls and wall segments-The modeling assumptions defined in 7 .2.2



for monolithic concrete structural walls and wall segments shall also be used for precast concrete walls. In addition, the analytical model shall model the axial, shear, and rotational deformations of the connections between the precast compo­ nents that compose the wall by either softening the model used to represent the precast panels or by adding spring elements between panels.

8.2.2.1 Linear static and dynamicprocedures-The modeling procedures given in 7 .2.2 . 1 , combined with a procedure for including connection deformations as noted previously, shall be used. 8.2.2.2 Nonlinear static procedure Nonlinear load­ deformation relations shall comply with the requirements of 3 . 1 .2. The monotonic load-deformation relationships for analytical models that represent precast structural walls and wall segments within precast panels shall be in accordance with the generalized relation shown in Fig. I , except that alternative approaches shall be permitted where verified by experiments. Where the relations are according to Fig. 1 , the following approach shall be permitted. Values for plastic hinge rotations or drifts at Points B, C, and E in Fig. 1 for the two general shapes shall be as defined in the following. The strength levels at Points B and C shall correspond to the yield strength and expected flexural strength or lower-bound flexural strength, as is appropriate in accordance with 7.2.3 . The residual strength for the Line Segment D-E shall be as defined in the following. For precast structural walls and wall segments whose inelastic behavior under lateral loading is governed by flexure, the general load-deformation relationship shall be defined as in Fig. 1 (a). For these members, the x-axis of Fig. ! (a) shall be taken as the rotation over the plastic hinging region at the end of the member, as shown in Fig. 2. If the requirements for effectively monolithic construc­ tion are satisfied, the value of the hinge rotation at Point B shall correspond to the yield rotation 8y and shall be calcu­ lated by Eq. (5). The same expression shall also be used for wall segments within a precast panel if flexure controls the inelastic response of the segment. If the precast wall is of jointed construction and flexure governs the inelastic response of the member, then the value of 8y shall be increased to account for rotation in the joints between panels or between the panel and the foundation. For precast structural walls and wall segments whose inelastic behavior under lateral loading is governed by shear, the general load-deformation relationship shall be defined as in Fig. 1 (b). For these members, the x-axis of Fig. 1 (b) shall be taken as the story drift for structural walls and as the element drift for wall segments, as shown in Fig. 3 . For effectively monolithic construction, the values for the variables a11e, h11e, and C11e, required to define the loca­ tion of Points C, D, and E in Fig. ! (a), shall be as specified in Table 1 9. For construction classified as jointed construc­ tion, the values of a11e, h11e, and C11e specified in Table 19 shall be reduced to 50 percent of the given values, unless experi­ mental evidence is available to justify higher values. In no case, however, shall values larger than those specified in Table 1 9 be used. For effectively monolithic construction, values for the variables d11e, e11e, and C11e, required to find the Points C, D, and E in Fig. 1 (b), shall be as specified in Table 20 for the appropriate member conditions.

Inelastic response shall be restricted to those structural walls (and wall segments) and actions listed in Tables 1 9 and 20, except where it is demonstrated by experimental evidence and analysis that other inelastic action is acceptable for the selected performance levels.

These deficiencies include inadequate flexural capacity, inadequate shear capacity with respect to flexural capacity, lack of confinement at wall boundary elements, and inadequate splice lengths for longitudinal reinforcement in wall boundaries. A few deficiencies unique to precast wall construction are inadequate connections between panels, to the foundation, and to floor or roof diaphragms. The retrofit measures described in Section 7.2.5 can be effective in retrofitting precast concrete structural walls. In addition, the following retrofit measures can be effective: a) Enhancement of connections between adjacent or intersecting precast wall panels: Mechanical connectors such as steel shapes and various types of drilled-in anchors, or cast-in-place strengthening methods, or a combina­ tion of the two, can be effective in strengthening connec­ tions between precast panels. Cast-in-place strengthening methods can include exposing the steel reinforcement at the edges of adjacent panels, adding vertical and transverse (tie) reinforcement, and placing new concrete. b) Enhancement of connections between precast wall panels and foundations: Increasing the shear capacity of the wall panel-to-foundation connection by using supple­ mental mechanical connectors or by using a cast-in-place overlay with new dowels into the foundation can be an effec­ tive retrofit measure.

CHAPTER 1 0-CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE DIAPH RAGMS 1 0 . 1 -Components of cast-in-place concrete d iaphragms Cast-in-place concrete diaphragms transmit inertial forces within a structure to vertical seismic-force-resisting elements. Concrete diaphragm systems shall be made up of slabs, struts, collectors, and chords. Alternatively, diaphragm action is permitted to be provided by a struc­ tural truss in the horizontal plane. Diaphragms consisting of structural concrete topping on metal deck shall comply with the requirements of 9. 8.2 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7.



C10.1 -Components of cast-i n-place concrete d iaphragms



10.1.1 Slabs-Slabs shall consist of cast-in-place concrete systems that, in addition to supporting gravity loads, transmit inertial loads developed within the structure from one vertical seismic-force-resisting element to another and provide out­ of-plane bracing to other portions of the building. 10.1.2 Struts and collectors-Collectors are components that serve to transmit the inertial forces within the diaphragm to elements of the seismic-force-resisting system. Struts are components of a structural diaphragm used to provide conti­ nuity around an opening in the diaphragm. Struts and collec­ tors shall be monolithic with the slab, occurring either within the slab thickness or being thicker than the slab. 10.1.3 Diaphragm chords-Diaphragm chords are compo­ nents along diaphragm or opening edges with concentrated longitudinal and, in some cases, added transverse reinforce­ ment, acting primarily to resist tension and compression forces generated by bending in the diaphragm. Exterior walls shall be permitted to serve as chords, provided there is adequate strength to transfer shear between the slab and the wall.



C 10.L3 Diaphragm chords-When evaluating an existing building, special care should be taken to evaluate the condi­ tion of the lap splices. Where the splices are not confined by closely spaced transverse reinforcement, splice failure is possible if stress levels reach critical values. In retrofit construction, new lap splices should be confined by closely spaced transverse reinforcement.



1 0.2-Analysis, modeling, and acceptance criteria for cast-in-place concrete diaphragms 1 0.2.1 General The analytical model for a diaphragm shall represent the strength, stiffness, and deformation capacity of each component and the diaphragm as a whole. Potential failure in flexure, shear, buckling, and bond or anchorage of reinforcement shall be considered. Modeling of the diaphragm as a continuous or simple span horizontal beam supported by elements of varying stiffness shall be permitted. The beam shall be modeled as rigid, stiff, or flexible considering the deformation characteristics of the actual system.



C10.2-Analysis, modeling, and acceptance criteria for cast-in-place concrete d iaphragms C10.2.1 General-Computer models are often based on the assumption that diaphragms are rigid for motion in the plane of the diaphragm. Due to their thickness, most cast­ in-place diaphragms would be considered rigid in the plane of the diaphragm. Thin concrete slabs cast over metal decks might be considered rigid or flexible for motion in the plane of the diaphragm depending on the length-to-width ratio of the diaphragm.

C10.3-Retrofit measures for cast-in-place concrete diaphragms Two general alternatives that can be effective in retrofitting cast-in-place concrete diaphragms include the following: either improve the strength and ductility or reduce the demand in accordance with FEMA 1 72. Providing additional reinforcement and encasement can be an effective measure to strengthen or improve individual components. Increasing the diaphragm thickness can also be effective, but the added weight can overload the footings and increase the seismic loads. Lowering seismic demand by providing additional seismic-force-resisting elements, introducing additional damping, or isolating the base of the structure can also be effective retrofit measures.

CHAPTER 1 1 -PR ECAST CONCRETE DIAPH RAGMS 1 1.1 -Components of precast concrete d iaphragms Precast concrete diaphragms are elements made up of primarily precast components with or without topping that transmit shear forces from within a structure to vertical seismic-force-resisting elements. Precast concrete diaphragms shall be classified as topped or untopped. A topped diaphragm shall be defined as one that includes a reinforced structural concrete topping slab poured over the completed precast horizontal system. An untapped diaphragm shall be defined as one constructed of precast components without a structural cast-in-place topping.



C11.1 -Components of precast concrete d iaphragms Chapter 1 1 provides a general overview of concrete diaphragms. Components of precast concrete diaphragms are similar in nature and function to those of cast-in-place diaphragms with a few critical differences. One difference is that precast diaphragms do not possess the inherent unity of cast-in-place monolithic construction. Additionally, precast components can be highly stressed because of prestressed forces. These forces cause long-term shrinkage and creep, which shorten the component over time. This shortening tends to fracture connections that restrain the component. Most floor systems have a topping system, but some hollow-core floor systems do not. The topping slab generally bonds to the top of the precast components, but it can have an inadequate thickness at the center of the span or can be inadequately reinforced to effectively resist seismic forces. Also, extensive cracking of joints can be present along the panel j oints. Shear transfer at the edges of precast concrete diaphragms is especially critical. Some precast roof systems are constructed as untapped systems. Untapped precast concrete diaphragms have been limited to areas of lower seismic hazard by recent versions of ASCE 7. This limitation has been imposed because of the brittleness of connections and lack of test data concerning the various precast systems. Special consideration shall be given to diaphragm chords in precast construction.



1 1.2-Analysis, model ing, and acceptance criteria for precast concrete diaphragms Analysis and modeling of precast concrete diaphragms shall conform to 1 0.2.2, with the added requirement that the analysis and modeling shall account for the segmental nature of the individual components. Component strengths shall be determined in accordance with 1 0.2.3 . Welded connection strength shall be based on rational procedures, and connections shall be assumed to have little ductility capacity unless test data verify higher ductility values. Precast concrete diaphragms with rein­ forced concrete topping slabs shall be considered deforma­ tion-controlled in shear and flexure. m-factors shall be taken as 1 .0, 1 .25, and 1 .5 for IO, LS, and CP performance levels, respectively. Untopped precast concrete diaphragms shall be considered force-controlled.



C11.2-Analysis, model ing, and acceptance criteria for precast concrete d iaphragms Welded connection strength can be determined using PCI MNL 1 20. A discussion of design provisions for untapped precast diaphragms can be found in the appendix to Chapter 9 of FEMA 368. The appendix to Chapter 9 of FEMA 450 provides discussion of the behavior of untapped precast diaphragms and outlines a design approach that can be used for such diaphragms to satisfy the requirements of this standard.



1 1.3-Retrofit measures for precast concrete d iaphragms Seismic retrofit measures for precast concrete diaphragms shall meet the requirements of 3 . 7 and other provisions of this standard.



C11.3-Retrofit measures for precast concrete d iaphragms Section 1 0.3 provides guidance for retrofit measures for concrete diaphragms in general. Special care should be taken to overcome the segmental nature of precast concrete diaphragms and to avoid damaging prestressing strands when adding connections.

CHAPTER 1 2-CONCR ETE FOUNDATIONS 1 2.1-Types of concrete foundations Foundations shall be defined as those components of a building that serve to transmit loads from the vertical structural subsystems, such as columns and walls, to the supporting soil or rock. Concrete foundations for buildings shall be classified as either shallow or deep foundations as defined in Chapter 8 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7. Requirements of Chapter 12 shall apply to shallow foundations that include spread or isolated footing, strip or line footing, combina­ tion footing, and concrete mat footing and to deep founda­ tions that include pile foundations and cast-in-place piers. Concrete grade beams shall be permitted in both shallow and deep foundation systems and shall comply with the require­ ments of Chapter 1 2 .



C12.1-Types of concrete foundations



12.1.1 Shallow concrete foundations-Existing spread footings, strip footings, and combination footings are rein­ forced or unreinforced. Vertical loads are transmitted by these footings to the soil by direct bearing; seismic forces are transmitted by a combination of friction between the bottom of the footing and the soil, and passive pressure of the soil on the vertical face of the footing. Concrete mat footings are reinforced to resist the flexural and shear stresses resulting from the superimposed concen­ trated and line structural loads and the distributed resisting soil pressure under the footing. Seismic forces are resisted by friction between the soil and the bottom of the footing and by passive pressure developed against foundation walls that are part of the system. 12.1.2 Deep concretefoundations 12.1.2.1 Driven concrete pile foundations-Concrete pile foundations shall be composed of a reinforced concrete pile cap supported on driven piles. The piles shall be concrete (with or without prestressing), steel shapes, steel pipes, or composite (concrete in a driven steel shell). Vertical loads are transmitted to the piles by the pile cap. Pile foundation resistance to vertical loads shall be calculated based on the direct bearing of the pile tip in the soil, the skin friction or cohesion of the soil on the surface area of the pile, or based on a combination of these mechanisms. Seismic force resis­ tance shall be calculated based on passive pressure of the soil on the vertical face of the pile cap, in combination with interaction of the piles in bending and passive soil pressure on the pile surface.



C12.1.2.1 Driven concrete pile foundations-In poor soils, or soils subject to liquefaction, bending of the piles can be the only dependable resistance to seismic forces.



12.1.2.2 Cast-in-place concrete pile foundations-Cast­



C12.1.2.2 Cast-in-place concrete pile foundations­



in-place concrete pile foundations shall consist of reinforced concrete placed in a drilled or excavated shaft. Cast-in-place pile foundation resistance to vertical and seismic forces shall be calculated in the same manner as that of driven pile foun­ dations specified in 1 2. 1 .2. 1 .



Segmented steel cylindrical liners are available to form the shaft in weak soils and allow the liner to be removed as the concrete is placed. Various slurry mixtures are often used to protect the drilled shaft from caving soils. The slurry is then displaced as the concrete is placed by the tremie method.

1 2.2-Analysis of existing concrete foundations For concrete buildings, it is permitted to consider compo­ nents fixed against rotation and translation at the top of the foundation ifthe connections between components and foun­ dations, the foundations, and supporting soil are shown to be capable of resisting the induced forces and the foundation is rotationally stiff relative to the component stiffness. Where components or foundations are not designed to resist flexural moments, or the connections between components and foun­ dations are not capable of resisting the induced moments, it is permitted to model the components with pinned ends at the top of the foundation. In such cases, the component base shall be evaluated for the ability to accommodate the neces­ sary end rotation of the component. The effects of base stiff­ ness of components shall be taken into account at the point of maximum displacement of the superstructure. If fixed or pinned boundary conditions cannot be justified, a more rigorous analysis procedure shall be used. Appro­ priate vertical, lateral, and rotational soil springs shall be incorporated in the analytical model as described in 8.4 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7. The spring characteristics shall be as specified in Chapter 8 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7. Rigorous analysis of structures with deep foundations in soft soils shall be based on special soil-pile interaction studies to determine the probable loca­ tion of the point of fixity in the foundation and the resulting distribution of forces and displacements in the superstruc­ ture. In these analyses, the appropriate representation of the connection of the pile to the pile cap shall be included in the model. Piles with less than 1 5 0 mm of embedment without any dowels into the pile cap shall be modeled as being pinned to the cap. Unless the pile and pile cap connection detail is identified as otherwise from the available construc­ tion documents, the pinned connection shall be used in the analytical model. Where the foundations are included in the analytical model, the responses of the foundation components shall be considered. The reactions of structural components attached at the foundation (axial loads, shears, and moments) shall be used to evaluate the individual components of the founda­ tion system.



C12.2-Analysis of existing concrete foundations Engineering judgment should be practiced when modeling the effects of the foundation elements. The determination of the appropriate boundary condition to be used can often be quickly performed by comparing the relative strengths and stiffness of the superstructure component with the founda­ tion element. For example, the base of a column can typi­ cally be modeled as fixed when it connects to a mat or pile foundation; similarly, the ends of a concrete shear wall can typically be modeled as pinned when connecting to shallow foundations. The engineer is permitted to use simple boundary conditions (that is, fixed or pinned) when they can be justified. A more rigorous approach is required when a simple approach cannot be justified. In place of a more rigorous analysis approach, the engineer may also consider bounding the analysis by using both a fixed boundary condi­ tion analysis approach and a pinned boundary condition analysis approach.



1 2.3-Evaluation of existing condition Allowable soil capacities (subgrade modulus, bearing pres­ sure, and passive pressure) and foundation displacements for the selected performance level shall be as prescribed in Chapter 8 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7 or as established with project­ specific data. All components of existing foundation systems and all new material, components, or components required for retrofit shall be evaluated as force-controlled actions. However, the capacity of the foundation components need not exceed 1 .25 times the capacity of the supported vertical structural component or element (column or wall).

1 2.4-Retrofit measu res for concrete foundations Seismic retrofit measures for concrete foundations shall meet the requirements of 3.7 and other provisions of this standard.



C12.4-Retrofit measures for concrete foundations The measures described in this section can be effective in retrofitting existing shallow and deep foundations. For shallow concrete foundations: a) Enlarging the existing footing by lateral addi­ tions: Enlarging the existing footing can be an effective retrofit measure. The enlarged footing can be considered to resist subsequent actions produced by the design loads, as long as adequate shear and moment transfer capacity are provided across the joint between the existing footing and the additions. b) Underpinning the footing: Underpinning an existing footing involves the removal of unsuitable soil underneath, coupled with replacement using concrete, soil cement, suit­ able soil, or other material. Underpinning should be staged in small increments to prevent endangering the stability of the structure. This technique can be used to enlarge an existing footing or to extend it to a more competent soil stratum. c) Providing tension tie-downs: Tension ties (soil and rock anchors, prestressed and unstressed) can be drilled and grouted into competent soils and anchored in the existing footing to resist uplift. Increased soil-bearing pressures produced by the ties should be checked against the accep­ tance criteria for the selected performance level specified in Chapter 8 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7. Piles or drilled piers can also be effective in providing tension tie-downs of existing footings. d) Increasing effective depth of footing: This method involves pouring new concrete to increase shear and moment capacity of the existing footing. The new concrete should be adequately doweled or otherwise connected so that it is inte­ gral with the existing footing. New horizontal reinforcement should be provided, if required, to resist increased moments. e) Increasing the effective depth of a concrete mat foun­ dation with a reinforced concrete overlay: This method involves pouring an integral topping slab over the existing mat to increase shear and moment capacity. f) Providing pile supports for concrete footings or mat foundations: Adding new piles can be effective in providing support for existing concrete footing or mat foundations, provided that the pile locations and spacing are designed to avoid overstressing the existing foundations. g) Changing the building structure to reduce the demand on the existing elements: This method involves removing mass or height of the building or adding other materials or components (such as energy-dissipation devices) to reduce the load transfer at the base level. New shear walls or braces can be provided to reduce the demand on existing foundations. h) Adding new grade beams: This approach involves the addition of grade beams to tie existing footings together where poor soil exists, to provide fixity to column bases, and to distribute seismic forces between individual footings, pile caps, or foundation walls. i) Improving existing soil: This approach involves grouting techniques to improve existing soil.

a) Providing additional piles or piers: Providing addi­ tional piles or piers can be effective, provided that extension and additional reinforcement of existing pile caps follow guidance provided for retrofit measures of shallow founda­ tions provided previously. b) Increasing the effective depth of the pile cap: New concrete and reinforcement added to the top of the pile cap can be effective in increasing its shear and moment capacity, provided that the interface is designed to transfer actions between the existing and new materials. c) Improving soil adjacent to the existing pile cap: Soil improvement adjacent to existing pile caps can be effective if undertaken in accordance with guidance provided in 8.3 ofASCE 4 1 - 1 7. d) Increasing passive pressure bearing area of pile cap: The addition of new reinforced concrete extensions to the existing pile cap can be effective in increasing the vertical foundation bearing area and load resistance. e) Changing the building system to reduce the demands on the existing elements: New lateral-load-resisting elements can be effective in reducing demand. f) Adding batter piles or piers: Adding batter piles or piers to existing pile or pier foundations can be effective in resisting seismic forces. It should be noted that batter piles have performed poorly in recent earthquakes where liquefi­ able soils were present. This problem is especially important to consider around wharf structures and in areas that have a high water table. Addition of batter piles to foundations in areas of such seismic hazards should be in accordance with requirements in 8 .4 of ASCE 4 1 - 1 7. g) Increasing tension tie capacity from pile or pier to superstructure: Added reinforcement should satisfy the requirements of Chapter 3 .
