PCA 100-2007, Prescriptive Design of Exterior Concrete Walls for One- and Two-Family Dwellings
Item Code: EB560
Date: 2007

 
Description: The new prescriptive design standard for exterior concrete walls for one- and two-family dwellings applies to the design and construction of concrete footings, foundation walls, and above-grade concrete walls built with insulating concrete forms or removable formwork. Ideal for residential architects, designers, and contractors interested in building homes combining cast-in-place wall systems with light-frame interior construction. Features diagrams and expanded design tables to simplify the engineering requirements for homes up to two stories plus a basement.

Improvements from earlier Prescriptive Method for Insulating Concrete Forms in Residential Construction, Second Edition (EB118):

General:

  • Publication now covers both insulating concrete forms and removable formwork
  • Covers Seismic Design Categories A, B, C, D0, D1, D2 with limitations

    Foundation Wall Tables:

  • Expanded to provide design solution for a maximum backfill height equal to the maximum supported wall height
  • Expanded design solutions for 6-in waffle and screen grid ICFs

    Above Grade Wall Tables:

  • Now based on use of Grade 60 steel with adjustments given for use of Grade 40
  • Flat wall tables expanded to include designs for 8-in and 10-in nominal walls
  • Expanded tabulated solutions for 4-in flat walls and 6-in waffle and screen grid walls
  • New table provides design solution for above grade walls constructed continuous with stem-wall where slab-on-ground does not provide lateral support
  • New tables entered directly with the basic wind speed and exposure category which saves one step over design procedure in early edition

    Lintel Tables:

  • Provides solutions for both Grade 40 and Grade 60 steel
  • Several bar size and number of bar combinations now available

    Solid Walls for Resistance to Lateral Forces Tables

  • Revised tables for one-story, first story of two-story, and top story of two-story, for wind perpendicular to ridge, and for same conditions with wind parallel to ridge
  • New tables entered directly with the basic wind speed and exposure category which saves one step over design procedure in early edition

    Connections between concrete walls and light-framed floors and roofs:

  • Updated to comply with new anchorage to concrete provisions of ACI 318-02 and AF&PA National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction
  • Connection loads based on ASCE 7-05
  • Now includes new cold-formed steel framing floor and roof connection details

    The first standard developed by the Portland Cement Association using an ANSI accredited process.
