Wind and Earthquake Clause Samples

Wind and Earthquake. As per the National Building Code of Canada • Design wind load (1 in 50) = 0.41 kPa PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration): 0.42g Site Classification for Seismic Site Response: Site Class “C” Footings & shear walls f’c = 30/35/40/45 MPa All other f’c = 25/30 MPa Fly ash as a partial substitute for cement will be used as much as possible to increase the sustainable issues of the design. For columns, walks, curbs, footings and slabs on grade a maximum of 25% of the cement will be replaced with fly ash. For suspended slabs the amount of fly ash content will be determined by construction time constraints as the addition of fly ash regards the strength gain of the concrete mix which increases the stripping time of formwork. Also, the fact that the presence of fly ash reduces the durability of the concrete, the amount of fly ash used will be have to be determined in conjunction with the floor finishes of the slab in consideration. • G30.18 (fy = 400 MPa) • G40.21M – 350 W • G40.21M – 350 W (Class C) • Compressive Strength 15MPa (net area). • Reinforced as per Masonry Design for Buildings Code (S304.1-94) • Construction: CSA – A23.1-04 • Testing: CSA – A23.2-04 Summer Outdoor Design 32oC db +/- 1oC, 55% ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Outdoor Design -27oC db Summer Indoor Design 24oC db +/- 1oC, 60% ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indoor Design 21oC db +/- 1oC, 20% R.H. Humidity levels shall be controlled in the office spaces during winter.
