    This document provides wind pressure calculations and design of a CMU wall for a fence wall project. It calculates the basic wind speed, exposure factors, velocity pressure, and design wind force according to ASCE 7-10. It then calculates the lateral force and moments on the CMU wall. Based on these calculations, it determines that #4 rebar @ 32" O.C. horizontally and #6 rebar @ 16" O.C. vertically will provide sufficient reinforcement for the CMU wall.

    DESIGN OF CMU WALL

    =

    Moment @ base = Vx h
    4.78 k x18 = 89.1 kip-ft

    M / Vd

    89.1 / (4.78 x12) = 1.5 > 1

    According to MSJC Code Section 2.3.5.2, the allowable shear stress for unreinforced walls when
    M / Vd > 1:

    1.5

    (MSJC Code Eq. 2-24)

    58 psi < 75 psi (maximum value)

    Actual Shear Stress

    1.5V / bd = 1.5(4788) / (12x 12 x 12)

    5 psi < 58 psi.OK

    Therefore Provide min. Horizontal #4 @ 32 O.C Rebar and vertical #6 @ 16 O.C Rebar

    Check for Horizontal Reinforcement


    Assume reinforcement to be provided at 32 in. O.C.

    Where s = Spacing of Reinforcement provided


    Therefore, #4 rebar (A = 0.20 in2) @ 32 O.C. can be provided
