DESIGN CRITERIA
1. Pilaster spacing less than one half the unsupported vertical span of out-of-plane wall. (MDG-3,page 11-8)
L= 10.17 ft < 0.5 h = 50 ft [Satisfactory]
2. Pilaster stiffness greater than that the tributary area of wall. (CBC 2106A.1.7)
beff = c1 + 12 t = 216 in, (ACI 530, 1.7.5.1 & 1.9.4.2.3)
y= 8.6 in
E Ipilaster = 100945 E ,(ACI 530, 1.9.2)
