Existing Wall Enhancement Based on 2015 IEBC, ASCE 41-17 & ACI 318-14/TMS 402-16

DESIGN CRITERIA
1. This software is to enhance wall capacity at perpendicular bending and vertical loads. The existing wall can be either concrete wall
or masonry wall.
2. The new concrete and reinforcement can be on both sides, or only one side. Before new concrete/shotcrete, to rough, clear and wet
the existing surface is required.

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

EXISTING WALL SECTION THICKNESS w= 8 in, (203 mm).
EXISTING WALL STRENGTH old fm' / fc' = 1.95 ksi, (13 MPa)
EXISTING WALL VERT. REINF. 1 # 5 @ 16 in o.c. (at middle)

NEW COMPRESSION THICKNESS TC = 5 in, (127 mm).

# 5 @ 18 in. (457 mm), o.c. Cover 1 in, (25 mm)
NEW TENSION THICKNESS TT = 4.75 in, (121 mm).
# 5 @ 12 in. (305 mm), o.c. Cover 0.75 in, (19 mm)

NEW STEEL YIELD STRESS Fy = 60 ksi, (414 MPa) THE DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.
NEW CONCRETE STRENGTH fc' = 5 ksi, (34 MPa)
THE MAX CONCRETE STRESS b = 0.85 fc' (0.85 on ACI, 1.0 on AISC)
THE MAX CONCRETE STRAINS e max = 0.003 , (ASCE 41-17 10.3.3.1)

SECTION FORCES Vu = 9.8 kips, (44 kN), per foot

(Strength Level, LRFD) Pu = 130 kips, (578 kN), per foot
Mu = 31 ft-kips, (42 kN-m), per foot
