Advancements in Force Transfer around Openings for Wood-Framed Shear Walls Presented by Alese Ashuckian, P.E., LEED AP, Engineered Wood Specialist, APA Abstract: Force Transfer Around Openings (FTAO) is a popular method of shear wall analysis for wood-framed buildings. The use of FTAO analysis varies because published design examples typically assume the wall is symmetric around a single opening, and, until recently, this design method had not been tested. A joint research project between APA, University of British Columbia, and the USDA Forest Products Laboratory examined variations of shear walls with openings, resulting in the creation of rational design methodologies in accordance with the International Building Code. This session will focus on asymmetric piers and multiple openings and will also provide an overview of APA's new design tool, intended to help engineers and code officials in the design and implementation of FTAO shear walls with up to three openings.   Alese Ashuckian, PE, LEED AP Engineered Wood Specialist APA Alese Ashuckian, PE, LEED AP is an Engineered Wood Specialist for APA - The Engineered Wood Association in the northern California, northern Nevada, and Utah regions.  Her duties include consulting with designers on the efficient specification of engineered wood products in construction and supporting the correct design and installation of wood-framed systems.  A licensed Professional Engineer in the state of California, Alese graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a BS in Architectural Engineering and a minor in Sustainable Environments.

Structural Design of Cross-Laminated Timber Construction Exposed to Blast Loads Mark Weaver, S.E., principal, Karagozian & Case Facilities constructed for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must often be designed for blast loads in accordance with anti-terrorism requirements stipulated in UFC 4-010-01.  As cross-laminated timber (CLT) and other mass timber solutions continue making inroads in federal construction projects, demand for a design methodology complete with response limits for CLT construction exposed to blast loads has emerged.  As such, this presentation is intended to introduce structural engineers to the concepts involved in analyzing and designing CLT construction for blast loads.  Specific presentation objectives are:  To provide a general overview of structural design issues encountered when designing CLT structural system; To describe a design methodology for CLT construction exposed to blast loads that considers both panels and connections To provide an overview of recent testing performed to investigate the blast-resistance of CLT construction; and To introduce analytical response limits appropriate for CLT construction exposed to blast loads based on these recent testing effots.   Mark Weaver, SE  Principal  Karagozian & Case Mark Weaver is a Principal at Karagozian & Case, Inc. where he utilizes engineering and computational methods to analyze and design a wide variety of structural components to resist the effects of blast and impact loads.  His experience includes the blast resistant design of window, door, wall, and roof systems for both new and existing structures requiring analysis methods ranging from single degree-of-freedom to high-fidelity physics-based dynamic analysis methods.  In addition, Mr. Weaver has served as the principal engineer on several test programs demonstrating the ability of timber, concrete, and steel systems to resist airblast, gas pressure, and fragmentation loads.  Mr. Weaver is a licensed Professional Engineer (Civil) and Structural Engineer in the state of California. Concrete & Masonry Provision Updates in ASCE 41-17:  Presented by Bill Tremayne, Technical Direction & Principal, Holmes Structures   The Masonry chapter has significant new provisions for spandrels, and for out-of-plane wall analysis with Life Safety criteria. New provisions for the modeling and evaluation of infill concrete and steel frames have also been developed, including interaction between in-plane and out-of-plane effects. Minor updates have been made to wall pier rocking and bed-joint sliding provisions. Miscellaneous updates have also been made to the testing, Quality Assurance and condition assessment provisions, including URM with lime-mortar and wall anchorage. The Chapter 16 Special Procedure provisions has also been significantly updated to improve alignment with the main Masonry chapter (11) and with Chapter A1 of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC.)  The Concrete chapter includes significant updates to the modeling and acceptance criteria for columns, and evaluation of reinforcing bar development and lap splices. Several updates have also been made to the shear wall modeling criteria, including default stiffness modification factors. New testing provisions have also been developed for evaluation of existing cast-in-place and post-installed anchors.
