LATERAL

The 2009 NEESWood Capstone test is the largest full-scale earthquake test

in history. It featured a seven-story, 40' x 60' condominium tower that was

outfi tted with Simpson Strong-Tie ® lateral systems products and subjected

to the ground motions equivalent to a 7.5 magnitude quake.

See the video and learn more at www.strongtie.com/capstonetest.

As the leading manufacturer of seismic

holdowns for site-built shearwalls, it

was natural for Simpson Strong-Tie

to apply our expertise to structural

systems that resist lateral forces from

seismic and high-wind events. Our

Wood and Steel Strong-Wall® products

are a result of our research efforts to

improve the effi ciency of shearwalls,

as is our Anchor Tiedown System

for multi-story structures.

Our latest addition, the Strong Frame™

ordinary moment frame, rounds out our

lateral-systems offering and provides

specifi ers and builders a cost-effective

alternative to site-built moment frames.

All of our lateral systems product

lines allow designers the freedom

to include larger window and door

openings as well as open spaces in

their designs while still meeting

the requirements of the building codes.

There is no other company in the

industry that offers such a wide variety

of lateral systems solutions – solutions

our customers use to make buildings

safer and stronger.

Important Information & General Notes

1. This design guide was developed to provide equivalent wall-bracing solutions based on the wall-bracing requirements of the International Residential Code® (IRC) and the Conventional Light-Frame Construction section 2308 of the International Building Code® (IBC). The required total length of bracing, as well as panel spacing, wall height limits, structure weight limits, and etc. shall be based on the governing code used for design. Code references in this design guide refer to the 2009 IRC unless noted otherwise. The wind and seismic wall-bracing solutions in this guide may be considered equivalent to the code braced-wall-panel construction Method WSP (Wood Structural Panel) with gypsum board applied on the opposite face as defi ned in table R602.10.2 of the 2009 IRC. The IBC and earlier editions of the IRC refer to Method WSP as Method 3. The seismic-with-masonry-veneer wall-bracing solutions are designed to be equivalent to the construction method and hold down requirements in table R602.12(2) of the 2009 IRC (table R703.7(2) of the 2006 IRC and sections 2308.11.2 and 2308.12.2 of the IBC).

2. Wood and Steel Strong-Wall® shearwalls have been evaluated to the 2006 IBC/IRC in ICC-ES code report ESR-1267 (wood) and ESR-1679 (steel). This guide expands on the braced-wall-panel allowance in the code reports to provide specifi c braced-wall-length replacements and corresponding anchorage solutions for various applications and foundation types. Balloon-frame applications for tall walls up to 20' tall are designed to provide equivalent performance to a two-story braced-wall-panel application. Required length of bracing for balloon-frame applications should be based on the length required for the bottom story assuming the balloon-framed wall counts as the bracing for both stories.

3. Refer to page 12 for the three categories of Strong-Wall shearwall wall bracing replacement tables (Wind, Seismic, and Seismic with Masonry Veneer).

4. The required length of bracing shall be based on sections R602.10.1.2, R602.12, and the braced-wall-panel-location requirements of Section R602.10.1.4 (sections R602.10.1, R602.10.11 and R703.7 of the 2006 IRC). In no case shall the equivalent length of bracing in a braced wall line be less than 4 feet total. In general, braced wall panels shall be spaced 25' on center maximum and begin no more than 12'-6" from the end of the braced wall line. Braced wall panels may be offset out-of-plane up to 4' from the braced wall line with the total out-to-out offset limited to 8'. There are additional braced-wall-panel-location requirements for higher SDC. There are some differences between the various codes, so refer to the requirements for the governing code used for design.

5. Structures located in SDC C or higher except those exempted in section R301.2.2 of the IRC are subject to the limitations for weights of materials in section R301.2.2.1. In general, the combined roof and ceiling dead load may not exceed 15 lbs. per square foot unless the required wall-bracing length is adjusted per table R301.2.2.2.1 for roof/ceiling dead load up to 25 lbs. per square foot. For designs based on the IBC, the limitations of section 2308.2 limit the roof/ceiling dead load to 15 lbs. per square foot.

6. Braced-wall-panel heights greater than 10' and up to 12' are allowed provided the required length of bracing is increased as required by section R301.3. For designs based on the IBC, braced-wall-panel heights shall not exceed 10'. Balloon-frame applications for tall walls up to 20' tall are designed to provide equivalent performance to a two-story braced-wall- panel application and may exceed the braced-wall-panel height limits based on IRC section R301.3 or IBC section 2308.1.1.

7. Steel Strong-Wall shearwall solutions are based on the following maximum total vertical loads acting along the length of the panel:

4000 lbs – Garage single story

7500 lbs – Garage fi rst of two or three story

1000 lbs – Single-story and balloon-frame walls

4000 lbs – First of a two or three story on concrete or masonry foundation (panel on fi rst story only)

2000 lbs – First of a two or three story on a wood fl oor (panel on fi rst story only)

1000 lbs – 1st-story and 2nd-story walls of two story stacked (2000 lbs total for 1st-story panel)

Out-of-plane loads on the panels and tension (uplift) connections to the wood jamb studs shall be limited to the values shown on page 81.

8. Wood Strong-Wall shearwall vertical and out-of-plane loads shall be limited to the values shown on page 82.

9. Garage-front applications:

a. Strong-Wall shearwall braced-wall-panel spacing may exceed 25' on-center or begin more than 12'-6" from the end of the braced wall line (such as at each end of a three-car garage or at one end of a two-car garage) provided a continuous header or header splice is used as a collector along the garage front. See pages 14-15 for additional requirements. It is recommended that a minimum of two panels be provided at garage fronts except that garage fronts up to 25' in length may use a minimum of one 6' equivalent panel. The total equivalent length of braced wall panel provided shall not be less than that required for the corresponding wind speed or SDC.

b. Refer to page 76 for header support post installation requirements for Wood or Steel Strong-Wall shearwall portal installations.

c. Multi-ply headers may be used for garage-front applications except as noted in the tables. Refer to page 76 for multi-ply header installation requirements. Solid headers shall be used with the Steel Strong-Wall shearwall in SDC D0, D1, and D2 (SDC D and E for IBC governed designs).

d. When a pony wall occurs over the garage header, sheath the entire pony-wall area from top plates to header with minimum wood- structural panels and nailing per Method WSP (Method 3). For seismic with masonry veneer, WSP and nailing shall be per R602.12.1.3.

e. The SSW__x7.4 models (85 1⁄2" panel height) may be used as bracing with the corresponding anchorage requirements shown for the 8' models.

10. For installations on concrete masonry unit (CMU) chairblock foundation systems, Wall Selection and Anchorage Classifi cation shall assume CMU base material and use anchorage solutions for concrete or CMU stemwall (Anchorage into Footing).

11. Anchorage:

a. Anchorage solutions provided in this guide are for anchorage of Strong-Wall shearwalls only. The foundation construction should be specifi ed by the Designer to meet all other code requirements. Other requirements may include minimum foundation size, reinforcing, or compressive strength as well as specifi c requirements based on the wind speed or Seismic Design Category.

b. Anchorage solutions are provided for foundation concrete compressive strengths of 2500, 3000, and 3500 psi. As a minimum, it is recommended that when using Strong-Wall shearwalls, the foundation match the requirements for the alternate braced wall panel (Method ABW) in the IRC or IBC. The alternate braced wall panel requires a continuous foundation across the length of the braced wall line that it is reinforced with a minimum of one #4 rebar top and bottom.

c. Cast-in-place SWAB and SSWAB anchorage solutions are designed based on ACI 318-08 Appendix D assuming uncracked concrete and no supplemental reinforcement. Anchorage solutions for seismic governed designs include a 0.75 reduction factor on breakout strength per Appendix D section D.3.3.3. See pages 72-73 for more information.

d. Cast-in-place SSTB and SB anchorage solutions are based on testing conforming to ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC 399. See pages 72-73 for more information.

e. Post-installed adhesive anchorage solutions are based on testing and fi nite element analysis (FEA) modeling into uncracked concrete with no supplemental reinforcement and a safety factor of 4.0 on ultimate loads. For additional adhesive-anchor design and installation information, see pages 70-71 and the current Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog or visit www.simpsonanchors.com.

f. Cast-in-place Wood Strong-Wall mudsill anchors shall be 5⁄8" diameter x 12" long minimum embedded 7". For post-installed adhesive installation, use 5⁄8" diameter x 10" long all-thread rod minimum (model RFB#5x10) embedded 5".

g. Installations on CMU foundation walls are based on 8-inch nominal grout fi lled CMU. CMU shall be grout fi lled at Strong-Wall locations minimum and fully grouted where required by code. The minimum CMU prism design compressive strength shall be f'm = 1500 psi or greater. To achieve f'm = 1500 psi, a minimum grout strength of 2000 psi using standard ASTM C90 concrete masonry units with 1900 psi minimum compressive strength and type M or S mortar is required.

A Basic Interpretation of the Code

WHAT ARE BRACED WALLS AND WHY ARE THEY NEEDED?

Model building codes require all exterior walls of a non-engineered or conventionally designed wood framed structure to be braced against lateral loads from wind or earthquakes. Depending on the configuration of the structure, wall bracing may also be required for some interior walls.

In wood frame construction, a braced wall panel is a designated wall section in which the framing members are constructed to resist the lateral racking forces created by wind or seismic loading.

Braced wall panels are generally required near each end of a wall line and at least 25' on center (see Figure 1). Designated wall bracing must also make up a minimum amount of the overall braced wall line based on several factors including wind speed, seismic design category, exterior veneers and construction method used.

The building codes define eight construction methods that may be used to build a braced wall panel. The required minimum length of a braced wall panel generally ranges from 4' to 8' of wall with no openings. A few examples are 1x4 continuous let-in bracing or approved metal straps, wood-structural-panel sheathing (see Figure 2), portland cement plaster, and gypsum board.

In some cases the available wall length may be less than what is needed for these construction methods, such as at garage door or large window and door openings. Further, openings in a wall may not allow enough space for the total length of wall bracing required.

ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES?

In areas where window or door openings do not provide enough space to put a standard panel, the building codes allow for alternate braced wall panels and portal-frame applications to be site built to fit a narrower wall space in some applications. Minimum lengths vary depending on the alternate method used. In addition, specific requirements for holdowns, mudsill anchors, header attachments, and minimum sheathing thickness and fastening must be followed. Figure 3 highlights one alternate braced-wall method. The IRC also provides separate bracing requirements for homes which are continuously sheathed with OSB, plywood or structural fiberboard except at seismic with masonry veneer conditions. When continuously sheathed, braced-wall-panel lengths may be reduced depending on the size of adjacent openings. Reference the governing design code for more information.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES?

• Move or re-size window or door opening to meet the wider braced-wall requirements.

• Hire a design professional to provide an engineered solution.

• Use a code listed shearwall product that meets the intent of the code while providing a narrow wall solution such as a Simpson Strong-Tie® Wood Strong-Wall® or Steel Strong-Wall®.

The building codes give Building Officials the authority to approve alternate materials, designs and methods of construction that comply with the intent of the provisions of the code and are at least the equivalent to those prescribed in the code.

All Strong-Wall shearwalls in this guide are ICC-ES listed for use as wall bracing except balloon-framed panels. Balloon-frame applications for tall walls up to 20' tall are designed to provide equivalent performance to a two-story braced-wall-panel application.

A Basic Interpretation of the Code

WHERE EXACTLY DO THESE BRACED WALLS GO?

Braced wall panels should be installed near the ends of the braced wall line up to 12'-6" from the end for IRC Wind and Seismic Design Categories (SDC) A-C. The 2009 IRC limits the total combined end distance for the outer most panels in a braced wall line to no more than 12'-6". For SDC D0-D2, braced wall panels may begin no more than 8'-0" from each end of the braced wall line provided the requirements of 2009 IRC R602.10.1.4.1 are met. The required length of wall bracing shall be based on the minimum length requirements per 2009 IRC Tables R602.10.1.2(1) and (2) or R602.12(2), and panels shall be spaced no more than 25' on center along the braced wall line. It is also allowable to take up to a 4' offset and still maintain the same braced wall line.

WHAT’S AN OFFSET?

An offset is when there is a break in the wall line, for example, for a porch and front door, or a bay window. The code allows up to a 4' offset on a braced wall line. If there is more than a 4' offset, the code states that you must start a new braced wall line, which means additional braced wall panels.

How To Use This Design Guide

STEP 1 – DETERMINE REQUIRED WALL BRACING

You first need to choose which wall lines will be used as braced wall lines. The braced-wall-line locations need to meet the spacing requirements and allowable offsets defined in the code.

Then, determine the length of wall bracing required for each braced wall line. The required length of wall bracing along each braced wall line shall be the greater of that required by the design wind speed or Seismic Design Category (SDC) per Section R602.10.1.2 of the 2009 IRC. The length of bracing required is also based on the wall bracing construction method, presence of masonry veneer, and applicable adjustment factors. Simpson Strong-Tie offers our FREE Wall-Bracing-Length Calculator that is simple to use. Visit www.strongtie.com/wallbracing to try it. Consult with your local Building Official for specific local requirements.

Where the available wall length is less than the required length of wall bracing, select a Strong-Wall® shearwall wall-bracing replacement using the steps below.

STEP 2 – DETERMINE YOUR JOBSITE CATEGORY

• Using Page 12, determine which of the three categories applies to your jobsite and building.

Wind Seismic Seismic with Masonry Veneer

• Using your application and the jobsite category from step 2, determine the corresponding page number(s) forthe Strong-Wall® shearwall and anchorage options.

STEP 3 – SELECT THE STRONG-WALL® SHEARWALL AND ANCHORAGE CLASSIFICATION

• Identify the base material that the Strong-Wall® shearwall will be installed on. The options are:

1. CMU shall be grout filled at Strong-Wall® locations minimum and fully grouted whererequired by Code.

2. For additional Steel Strong-Wall® optionsconsider installing the wall through the floorsystem directly on the foundation. See thealternate first floor installation on page 78.

How To Use This Design Guide

• Your concrete compressive strength and anchorage classification (letter ID from step 3) defines the anchorage options. The corresponding row in the table defines the minimum foundation dimensions and anchor bolt required for your Strong-Wall® shearwall. Usually there will be a choice between cast-in-place and post-installed anchors.• Choose an anchor with an effective length (le) equal to or greater than the distance from the top of concrete to bottom of embedment depth (de). See pages 72 and 73 for SWAB and SSWAB anchor bolt information.• Refer to page 74 (Steel Strong-Wall ® shearwall) or page 75 (Wood Strong-Wall ® shearwall) to select the template for your foundation type. Note that for cast-in-place solutions it is critical to use a template to accurately locate the anchor bolts. Templates may also be used to accurately locate post-installed anchor locations.• For additional information see:

– Strong-Wall Product Data, pages 14-19 – Installation Information, pages 76-80

– Anchorage Product Data, pages 70-75 – Design Examples, page 13

STEP 3 (continued) – SELECT THE STRONG-WALL® SHEARWALL AND ANCHORAGE CLASSIFICATION

• Determine which and how many Strong-Wall® shearwalls will provide equivalent wall bracing length to meet the length of wall bracing you need.• Verify the dimensions of your available wall length and your wall height compared to the available Strong-Wall® shearwalls in the wall model column. “SW” denotes a Wood Strong-Wall® panel and “SSW” denotes a Steel Strong-Wall® panel. Note that there may be more than one solution.• Now match the selected wall model to your base material. The letter in the table will correspond to an appropriate anchorage classification.

Wall-Bracing-Replacement Jobsite Categories for IRC

WALL BRACING REPLACEMENTS FOR JOBSITE CATEGORY

Local and/or regional building codes may have adopted specific amendments to the building code. For compliance with these amendments it is necessary to contact the local and/or regional building authority.

For IRC designs use the table below to determine your jobsite category for use in this document.

WIND AND SEISMIC MAP FOR IRC

The map below may be used as a general guide to determine the appropriate Strong-Wall® wall bracing replacement tables to use based on the geographical location of your structure. The map is based on soil Site Class D. Contact your local Building Department for applicability in your area and to confirm wind speed, Seismic Design Category and Site Class requirements. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) offers an internet calculation tool to help determine the appropriate Seismic Design Category based on the project site zip code or longitude and latitude. Go to the USGS website at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/design/buildings.php for more information.

Highest Wind or Seismic Region

High Seismic Region

Moderate Seismic Region

Moderate Wind Region

Denotes special wind regions which, along withmountainous terrain, gorges, and ocean promontories,should be examined for unusual wind conditions.Refer to local building code jurisdictions.

1. “HPR” = Hurricane-Prone Region, which is defined in the IRC as the U.S. Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico coasts where the basic wind speed is greater than 90 mph and Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.

2. The noted basic wind speed (3-second gust) is applicable to hurricane-prone regions for designs based on the 2000 or 2003 IRC.3. “Not Permitted” indicates an engineered design is required.4. For designs based on the IBC, see page 83.

Anchorage Solutions

This section describes the anchorage classifications specified in the wall-bracing replacement tables. There are four foundation types that correspond to the color coding on the side of the pages:

Slab on Grade – Pages 46-52

Brick Ledge – Pages 53-59

Concrete Stemwall (Anchorage into Wall) – Pages 60-65

Concrete or CMU Stemwall (Anchorage into Footing) – Pages 66-69

For each foundation type there are choices for cast-in-place or post-installed adhesive anchors. There are also details on the different anchor types and associated anchor templates.

• Post-Installed Anchorage – Pages 70-71

• Cast-in-Place Anchorage- Pages 72-73

• Anchor Templates – Pages 74-75

Strong-Wall®: Post-Installed Anchorage

Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems® offers multiple adhesive and mechanical anchor options for post-installed anchorage in hardened concrete. The products below are referenced in the anchorage solutions section.

SET-XP™ Anchoring AdhesiveSET-XP is a 1:1 two component, high-solids epoxy-based anchoring adhesive formulated for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete. SET-XP adhesive has been rigorously tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC308 and 2006 IBC requirements and has proven to offer increased reliability in the most adverse conditions, including performance in cracked concrete under static and seismic loading. SET-XP adhesive is teal in color in order to be identified as a high performance adhesive for adverse conditions. Resin and hardener are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle.

When SET-XP adhesive is used with the IXP™ anchor, all-thread rod, or rebar, the system can be used in tension and seismic zones where there is a risk of cracks occurring that pass through the anchor location. It is also suitable for uncracked-concrete conditions.

CODES: ICC-ES ESR-2508, City of L.A. RR25744, Florida FL 11506.5; NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (216 in2/1000 gal)

SET Anchoring AdhesiveSET epoxy is a two-component, low odor, 1:1 ratio, high-solids epoxy-based adhesive for use as a high-strength, non-shrink anchor grouting material. Resin and hardener are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle. SET meets or exceeds the ASTM C-881 specification for Type I, II, IV and V, Grade 3, Class B and C.

CODES: ICC-ES ESR-1772 (CMU and URM); City of L.A. RR25279 (CMU); Florida FL 11506.4; Caltrans approved; multiple DOT listings; NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (216 in2/1000 gal), except SET1.7KTA. SET-PAC-EZ™ epoxy adhesive covered by ICC-ES, City of L.A. and NSF/ANSI listings only.

ACRYLIC-TIE® Anchoring AdhesiveAcrylic-Tie (AT) is a two component, 10:1 ratio acrylic-based adhesive for use as a high-strength, anchor grouting material. Formulated for use in all types of weather, AT is designed to dispense easily and cure at temperatures down to 0°F. Resin and initiator are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle. AT meets the physical requirements of ASTM C881, Type I and IV, Grade 3, Classes A, B and C, except Acrylic-Tie is a non-epoxy product formulated for fast cure time.

CODES: ICC-ES ER-5791* (CMU and URM); City of L.A. RR25459* (CMU and URM); NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (11 in2/5000 gal); Multiple DOT listings. *Applies to all Acrylic-Tie products except AT10.

The SSTB is designed for maximum performance as an anchor bolt for Wood Strong-Wall® shearwalls. Extensive SSTB testing has been done to determine the design load capacity at a common application, the garage stem wall.

SPECIAL FEATURES: • Rolled threads for higher tensile capacity.

• Offset angle reduces side-bursting, provides more concrete cover.• Stamped embedment line aids installation. • Configuration results in minimum rebar interference.



INSTALLATION: • Install the SSTB per plan view detail shown on this page.• Unless otherwise noted, do NOT install where: (a) a horizontal cold joint exists within the embedment depth between the slab and foundation wall or footing beneath, unless provisions are made to transfer the load, or the slab is designed to resist the load imposed by the anchor; or (b) slabs are poured over concrete block foundation walls.• Nuts and washers are not supplied with the SSTB; install standard nuts, couplers and/or washers as required. On HDG SSTB anchors, chase the threads to use standard nuts or couplers or use overtapped products in accordance with ASTM A563 (Simpson NUT⁷⁄₈-OST or CNW ⁷⁄₈-⁷⁄₈OST).

It can be used as an alternate to the SSWAB in stemwall applications with SSWHSR_KT for anchor installation into the footing. It features a plate washer at the embedded end sandwiched between two fixed heavy hex nuts and a head stamp for easy identification after the pour.

• Available in diameters for both Wood and Steel Strong-Wall® shearwalls and in lengths from 6" to 36" (in 6" increments) • Intermediate lengths available contact Simpson Strong-Tie • Available in standard and high-strength steel • Head stamp contains the No Equal sign, diameter designation and an “HS” on high-strength rods

MATERIAL: Standard Steel – Fu = 58 ksiHigh-Strength Steel (up to 1" dia.) – Fu = 120 ksi

FINISH: None.

How to specify and order:

When calling out PAB anchor bolts, substitute the desired length for the “XX” in the Root Model Number.

For a 1"x20" anchor bolt, the model number would be PAB8-20 (or PAB8H-20 for high strength).

The capacity of the SSW wall anchor bolt and anchorage to the foundation must be adequate to transfer the additional tension (uplift).2. Loads include a 1.60 load duration increase for wood subjected to wind or earthquake. Reductions for other load durations must be taken according to the applicable code.3. N/A = Not applicable.

These allowable vertical loads are intended to aid the user in correctly implementing the Wood Strong-Wall® shearwall into the load path of the structure. Load combinations that tend to cause compression can be limited by perpendicular to grain interface issues, by buckling of the vertical members or by the bending and shear capacity of the combined top plates. Loads that result in net uplift in the boundary posts are limited by the value T1 shown in the table.
