SAMPLE DESIGN CALCULATIONS
EXAMPLE C5. NEW FOUNDATION WALL DESIGN
Given:
Per original Sample Calculation Statement:
• Solutions to above Examples C1, C2, C3, and C4
• Assume seismic load condition controls design
• Field investigation information and additional information on-site as noted in previous
sections
• Assume #4 reinforcing bars at 48 in. o.c. in solid grouted cores
• G =0.4E where E = modulus of elasticity per American Concrete Institute (ACI) 530-08
Section 1.8.2.2
• Assume compressive strength of masonry, f '
= 2,000 lb/in.

• With #4 @ 48 in. o.c. the equivalent solid thickness is 4.6 in. = 0.38 ft
• M = 120 kips-ft from Example C2 (maximum moment split in half due to 2 walls)
• V = 19.2 kips from Example C2 (maximum shear split in half due to 2 walls)
Find:
1. Design the foundation wall and connection to the footing
2. Design top of wall connection. (Checking anchor bolts for pullout from masonry
Solution for #1: To design the foundation wall connection to the footing:
New Wall Design:
• Minimum wall reinforcement is #4 @ 48 in. A
= 0.20/48 in.

• Next determine V
(shear strength provided by masonry) per ACI 530-08 Equation 3-22
m
• Moment is calculated from Seismic Lateral Forces. Refer to the figure below for indicated
forces with associated moment arms.
