ORDINANCE NO. NS- 1598 <br />Page Twelve <br /> <br />(g) DETERMINATION OF ALLOWABLE STRESSES FOR DESIGN <br /> <br />METHODS B~SED ON TEST RESULTS. <br /> <br /> (1) DESIGN SHEAR VALUES. Design seismic in-plane <br />shear stresses greater than permitted in Table D shall be <br />substantiated by tests performed as specified in subsections <br />(e) (3) and (4) of Section 8-2006. <br /> <br /> Design stresses shall be related to test results <br />obtained as noted in Table G. Intermediate values below the <br />maximum may be interpolated. <br /> <br /> TABLE G <br />ALLOWABLE SHEAR STRESS FOR TESTED <br />UNREINFORCED MASONRY WALLS <br /> <br />Eighty percent <br />by test results <br />in psi not less <br /> than <br /> <br />30 plus axial stress <br />40 plus axial stress <br />50 plus axial stress <br /> or more <br /> <br />Average test results <br />cores in psi <br /> <br />Seismic in-plane <br /> shear based on <br /> gross area <br /> <br /> ~si(1) <br /> 20 3 ~ .(1) <br />26.7 4 ps~(1) <br />33.3 5 ps~- - <br />or more <br /> <br />FOOTNOTES: <br /> <br /> (1) Allowable shear stress may be increased by addition <br />of ten (10) percent of the axial stress due to the weight of <br />the wall directly above. <br /> <br /> (2) ~ESIGN COMPRESSION AND TENSION VALUES. <br />Design compressive stresses of analysis specified in this <br />section shall be one hundred (100) psi. Design tension <br />values for unreinforced masonry shall be assumed equal to <br />zero." <br /> <br />SECTION 6: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, <br />phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held <br />to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any <br />court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not <br />affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. <br />The City Council of the City of Santa Aha hereby declares <br />that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, <br />subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof <br />irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, <br />subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be <br />declared invalid or unconsitutional. <br /> <br />SECTION 7: Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the <br />repeal hereby of any ordinance shall in any manner affect <br />the prosecution for violation of ordinances, which violations <br />were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor be <br />construed as affecting any of the provisions of such ordinance <br />relating to the collection of any such license or penalty or <br />the penal provision applicable to any violation thereof, nor <br />to affect the validity of any bond or cash deposit in lieu <br />thereof, required to be posted, filed or deposited pursuant <br /> <br /> <br />
