Design stresses shall be related to test results <br /> obtained in accordance with Table 5 of this <br /> Article. Intermediate values between 3 and 10 psi <br /> may be interpolated. <br /> (2) Design Compression and Tension Values. <br /> Compression stresses for unreinforced masonry <br /> having a minimum design shear value of 3 psi shall <br /> not exceed 100 psi. Design tension values for <br /> unreinforced masonry shall not be permitted. <br /> (h) Five percent of the existing rod anchors utilized as <br /> all or part of'the required wall anchors shall be <br /> tested in pullout by an approved testing laboratory. <br /> The minimum number tested shall be four per floor, with <br /> two tests at walls with joists framing into the wall <br /> and two tests at walls with joists parallel to the <br /> wall. The test apparatus shall be supported on the <br /> masonry wall at a minimum distance of the wall <br /> thickness from the anchor tested. The rod anchor shall <br /> be given a preload of 300 lbs. prior to establishing a <br /> datum for recording elongation. The tension test load <br /> reported shall be recorded at one - eighth inch relative <br /> movement of the anchor and the adjacent masonry <br /> surface. Results of all tests shall be reported. The <br /> report shall include the test results as related to the <br /> wall thickness and joist orientation. The allowable <br /> resistance value of the existing anchors shall be 40 <br /> percent of the average of those tested anchors having <br /> the same wall thickness and joist orientation. <br /> (i) Qualification tests for devices used for wall anchorage <br /> shall be tested with the entire tension load carried on <br /> the enlarged head at the exterior face of the wall. <br /> Bond on the part of the device between the enlarged <br /> head and the interior wall face shall be eliminated for <br /> the qualification tests. The resistance value assigned <br /> the device shall be 20 percent of the average of the <br /> ultimate loads. <br /> Section 7 -5 -865: INFORMATION REQUIRED ON PLANS. <br /> (a) General. In addition to the seismic analysis required <br /> elsewhere in this Article, the licensed engineer <br /> responsible for the seismic analysis of the building <br /> shall determine and record the information required by <br /> this section on the approved plans. <br /> 13 <br />
