9 DESIGNING THE BUILDING Volume II<br />

EXAMPLE 9.7. UPLIFT AND COMPRESSION DUE TO SHEAR WALL OVERTURNING<br />

(continued)<br />

Illustration A. Loads on south shear wall<br />

Find: Uplift and compressive force due to shear wall overturning.<br />

Solution: The uplift and compressive force due to shear wall overturning can be determined as follows:<br />

• The total shear force due to wind acting perpendicular to the ridge is determined for the 28-ft<br />

roof span by interpolation from Table 8-7:<br />

Roof diaphragm load for 24-ft roof span = 256 plf<br />

Roof diaphragm load for 32-ft roof span = 299 plf<br />

Adjusting the roof diaphragm load to account for the building being located in Exposure<br />

Category D:<br />

1.18(278 plf) = 328 plf<br />

To adjust w roof for a wall height of 10 ft because Table 8.7 assumes a wall height of 8 ft<br />
