| Contents Text: | A new chapter on strength design of masonry is one of several substantial changes incorporated into ACI 530. This new chapter provides an improved model for inelastic system performance, especially for earthquake-induced loads. It also makes the ACI 530 code requirements more compatible with the inelastic load criteria of ASCE 7 (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Structures) and with IBC requirements.
Other significant code changes include:
- Integrated seismic design requirements
- Modifications for allowable flexural tension design values
- Changes in wind-speed threshold for empirical design
- New criteria for veneer supported by wood
- Clarifications for empirically designed shear walls
- Prohibition of the use of wall ties with drips
- Addition of corrosion protection provisions to the code
The revised specification includes changes in cold-weather requirements, removal of all "when required" provisions, and the addition of veneer anchorage requirements. |
