El refuerzo de acero en concreto colado contra la tierra deberá tener un recubrimiento mínimo de 3 pulgadas (76 mm). El recubrimiento mínimo para el refuerzo en concreto colado en encofrados removibles que estarán expuestos a la tierra o a la intemperie será de 1 1/2 pulgadas (38 mm) para barras No. 5 y menores, y de 2 pulgadas (50 mm) para barras No. 6 y mayores. Para concreto colado en encofrados removibles que no estarán expuestos a la tierra o a la intemperie, y para concreto colado en encofrados permanentes, el recubrimiento mínimo será de 3/4 de pulgada (19 mm). La tolerancia negativa para el recubrimiento no deberá exceder el menor valor entre un tercio del recubrimiento requerido y 3/8 de pulgada (10 mm). Véase la Sección R608.5.4.4 para los requisitos de recubrimiento para ganchos de barras desarrolladas a tensión.

R608.5.4.2 Ubicación del refuerzo en muros. Para la ubicación del refuerzo en muros de cimentación y muros sobre nivel de terreno, véanse las Secciones R404.1.3.3.7.2 y R608.6.5, respectivamente.

R608.5.4.3 Solapes. El refuerzo vertical y horizontal de muros requerido por las Secciones R608.6 y R608.7 deberá ser de las longitudes más largas posibles. Cuando sean necesarios solapes en el refuerzo, la longitud de los solapes deberá cumplir con la Tabla R608.5.4(1) y la Figura R608.5.4(1). La separación máxima entre barras paralelas no en contacto en un solape no deberá exceder el menor valor entre una quinta parte de la longitud requerida del solape y 6 pulgadas (152 mm). Véase la Figura R608.5.4(1).

R608.5.4.4 Desarrollo de barras a tensión. Cuando otras disposiciones de este código requieran que las barras se desarrollen a tensión, las longitudes de desarrollo y el recubrimiento para ganchos y extensiones de barras deberán cumplir con la Tabla R608.5.4(1) y la Figura R608.5.4(2). Las longitudes de desarrollo indicadas en la Tabla R608.5.4(1) aplicarán para barras agrupadas en dinteles instalados conforme a la Sección R608.8.2.2.

R608.5.4.5 Ganchos estándar. Cuando este código requiera que el refuerzo termine con un gancho estándar, el gancho deberá cumplir con la Figura R608.5.4(3).

R608.5.4.6 Nervaduras de muros reticulares. El refuerzo, incluyendo estribos, no deberá colocarse en las nervaduras de muros reticulares, incluyendo dinteles. Se permite que las nervaduras tengan ataduras de encofrado.

R608.5.4.7 Grado alternativo de refuerzo y espaciamiento. Cuando las tablas en las Secciones R404.1.3 y R608.6 especifiquen refuerzo vertical de muro basado en tamaño mínimo de barra y espaciamiento máximo, que están basados en refuerzo de acero Grado 60 (420 MPa), se permiten barras de tamaño diferente o barras de un grado diferente de acero siempre que se proporcione un área equivalente de acero por pie lineal de muro. Se permite el uso de la Tabla R608.5.4(2) para determinar el espaciamiento máximo de barras para tamaños de barra diferentes a los especificados en las tablas y barras hechas de un grado diferente de acero. Las barras no deberán espaciarse a menos de la mitad del espesor del muro, ni más de 48 pulgadas (1219 mm) en centro.

R608.5.5 Juntas de construcción en muros. Las juntas de construcción deberán hacerse y ubicarse de manera que no se afecte la resistencia del muro. Las juntas de construcción en muros de concreto simple, incluyendo muros que requieran no menos que barras No. 4 a 48 pulgadas (1219 mm) en centro según la Sección R608.6, deberán ubicarse en puntos de soporte lateral, y no menos de una barra No. 4 deberá extenderse a través de la junta de construcción con un espaciamiento que no exceda 24 pulgadas (610 mm) en centro. El refuerzo para juntas de construcción deberá tener un anclaje de no menos de 12 pulgadas (305 mm) a cada lado de la junta. Las juntas de construcción en muros de concreto reforzado deberán ubicarse en el tercio medio del vano entre soportes laterales, o ubicarse y construirse conforme a lo requerido para juntas en muros de concreto simple.

Excepción: Se permite usar el refuerzo vertical de muro requerido por este código en lugar del refuerzo para juntas de construcción, siempre que el espaciamiento no exceda 24 pulgadas (610 mm), o que la combinación del refuerzo del muro y las barras No. 4 descritas en la Sección R608.5.5 no exceda 24 pulgadas (610 mm).

CONSTRUCCIÓN DE MUROS

R608.6.1 General. El espesor mínimo de muros portantes y no portantes sobre el nivel del suelo y el refuerzo será el establecido en la tabla correspondiente de esta sección según el tipo de encofrado de muro que se vaya a utilizar. El muro deberá diseñarse conforme a ACI 318 cuando el muro o edificio no esté dentro de las limitaciones de la Sección R608.2, cuando el diseño sea requerido por las tablas de esta sección o cuando el muro no esté dentro del alcance de las tablas de esta sección.

Los muros de concreto sobre el nivel del suelo deberán construirse conforme a esta sección y a la Figura R608.6(1), R608.6(2), R608.6(3) o R608.6(4). Los muros de concreto sobre el nivel del suelo que sean continuos con muros de cimentación y que no estén lateralmente apoyados por la losa sobre el terreno deberán diseñarse y construirse conforme a esta sección. Los muros de concreto deberán apoyarse sobre muros de cimentación continuos o losas sobre el terreno que sean monolíticas con el zapato conforme a la Sección R403. La longitud mínima de muro macizo sin aberturas será conforme a la Sección R608.7. El refuerzo alrededor de aberturas, incluidos los dinteles, será conforme a la Sección R608.8. El soporte lateral para muros sobre el nivel del suelo en la dirección fuera del plano será proporcionado por conexiones al sistema de estructura del piso, si aplica, y a los sistemas de estructura del techo y cielo raso conforme a la Sección R608.9. El espesor del muro será igual o mayor que el espesor del muro en el piso superior.

R608.6.2 Refuerzo de muro para viento. El refuerzo vertical del muro para resistencia a fuerzas de viento fuera del plano se determinará según la Tabla R608.6(1), R608.6(2), R608.6(3) o R608.6(4). Para el diseño de muros no portantes, en las Tablas R608.6(1), R608.6(2) y R608.6(3) se usará la columna apropiada etiquetada como “Superior.” (ver Secciones R608.7.2.2.2 y R608.7.2.2.3). Habrá una barra vertical en las esquinas de muros exteriores. A menos que se requiera más refuerzo horizontal conforme a la Sección R608.7.2.2.1, el refuerzo horizontal mínimo será de cuatro barras No. 4 [Grado 40 (280 MPa)] colocadas de la siguiente manera: barra superior dentro de 12 pulgadas (305 mm) de la parte superior del muro, barra inferior dentro de 12 pulgadas (305 mm) del piso terminado y una barra aproximadamente a un tercio y dos tercios de la altura del muro.

R608.6.3 Continuidad del refuerzo del muro entre pisos. El refuerzo vertical requerido por esta sección será continuo entre los elementos que proporcionen soporte lateral para el muro. El refuerzo en el muro del piso superior será continuo con el refuerzo en el muro del piso inferior, o con el muro de cimentación, si aplica. Las empalmes de solape, cuando sean requeridos, cumplirán con la Sección R608.5.4.3 y la Figura R608.5.4(1). Cuando el muro sobre el nivel del suelo esté apoyado por una losa monolítica sobre el terreno y zapata, barras de anclaje con tamaño y espaciamiento que coincidan con el refuerzo vertical del muro de concreto sobre el nivel del suelo se insertarán en la losa monolítica sobre el terreno y zapata la distancia requerida para desarrollar la barra en tensión conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.4 y la Figura R608.5.4(2) y se empalmarán con el refuerzo del muro sobre el nivel del suelo conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.3 y la Figura R608.5.4(1).

Cuando una junta de construcción en el muro esté ubicada por debajo del nivel del piso y a menos distancia que la requerida para desarrollar la barra en tensión, la distancia requerida para desarrollar la barra en tensión se medirá desde la parte superior del concreto debajo de la junta. Ver Sección R608.5.5.

Excepción: Cuando el refuerzo en el muro superior no pueda hacerse continuo con el refuerzo en el muro inferior, la parte inferior del refuerzo en el muro superior se terminará conforme a una de las siguientes opciones:

  1. Extenderse por debajo de la parte superior del piso la distancia requerida para desarrollar la barra en tensión conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.4 y la Figura R608.5.4(2).
  2. Empalmarse con solape conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.3 y la Figura R608.5.4(1) con una barra de anclaje que se extienda hacia el muro inferior la distancia requerida para desarrollar la barra en tensión conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.4 y la Figura R608.5.4(2).

R608.6.4 Terminación del refuerzo. Cuando se indique en los puntos 1 a 3, el refuerzo vertical del muro en el piso más alto con muros de concreto se terminará con un gancho estándar de 90 grados (1.57 rad) que cumpla con la Sección R608.5.4.5 y la Figura R608.5.4(3).

  1. Barras verticales adyacentes a aberturas de puertas y ventanas requeridas por la Sección R608.8.1.2.
  2. Barras verticales en los extremos de segmentos de muro macizo requeridos (ver Sección R608.7.2.2.2).
  3. Barras verticales (que no sean barras de extremo, ver punto 2) usadas como refuerzo a corte en segmentos de muro macizo requeridos donde el factor de reducción para la resistencia de diseño, R 3 , usado se basa en que el muro tenga refuerzo horizontal y vertical a corte (ver Sección R608.7.2.2.3).

La extensión de la barra del gancho se orientará paralela al refuerzo horizontal del muro y estará dentro de 4 pulgadas (102 mm) de la parte superior del muro.

El refuerzo horizontal será continuo alrededor de las esquinas del edificio doblando una de las barras y empalmándola con la barra en el otro muro conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.3 y la Figura R608.5.4(1).

En segmentos de muro macizo requeridos donde el factor de reducción para la resistencia de diseño, R 3, se basa en que el muro tenga refuerzo horizontal y vertical a corte conforme a la Sección R608.7.2.2.1, el refuerzo horizontal del muro se terminará con un gancho estándar que cumpla con la Sección R608.5.4.5 y la Figura R608.5.4(3) o en un empalme con solape, excepto en las esquinas donde el refuerzo será continuo según lo requerido.

Excepción: En lugar de doblar el refuerzo horizontal en las esquinas, se permitirán barras de refuerzo dobladas por separado siempre que la barra doblada se empalme con solape con el refuerzo horizontal en ambos muros conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.3 y la Figura R608.5.4(1).

R608.6.5 Ubicación del refuerzo en el muro. Excepto para el refuerzo vertical en los extremos de segmentos de muro macizo requeridos, que se ubicará según lo requerido por la Sección R608.7.2.2.2, la ubicación del refuerzo vertical no variará del centro del

muro en más del mayor de 10 por ciento del espesor del muro y [3] / 8 de pulgada (10 mm). El refuerzo horizontal y vertical se ubicará para proporcionar no menos que la cobertura mínima requerida por la Sección R608.5.4.1.

R608.7 Muros macizos para resistencia a fuerzas laterales.

R608.7 Muros macizos para resistencia a fuerzas laterales.

R608.7.1 Longitud del muro macizo. Cada línea de muro exterior en cada piso deberá tener una longitud total de muro macizo requerida por la Sección R608.7.1.1. Un muro macizo es una sección de muro plano, de celosía tipo waffle o de celosía tipo pantalla, que se extiende a toda la altura del piso sin aberturas ni penetraciones, excepto las permitidas por la Sección R608.7.2. Los segmentos de muro macizo que contribuyan a la longitud total del muro macizo deberán cumplir con la Sección R608.7.2.

R608.7.1.1 Longitud del muro macizo para viento. Los edificios deberán tener muros macizos en cada línea de muro extremo exterior (el lado de un edificio que es paralelo al vano de la estructura del techo o piso) y línea de muro lateral (el lado de un edificio que es perpendicular al vano de la estructura del techo o piso) para resistir fuerzas laterales de viento en el plano. La velocidad básica de viento apropiada para el sitio y la categoría de exposición deberán usarse en las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3) para determinar la longitud total no reducida, UR, de muro macizo requerida en cada línea de muro extremo exterior y línea de muro lateral. Para edificios con una altura media del techo menor a 35 pies (10 668 mm), los valores no reducidos determinados a partir de las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3) podrán reducirse multiplicando por el factor aplicable, R 1, de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(4); sin embargo, los valores reducidos no deberán ser menores que los valores mínimos en las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3). Cuando la altura del piso a techo de un piso sea menor a 10 pies (3048 mm), los valores no reducidos determinados a partir de las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3), incluidos los valores mínimos, podrán reducirse multiplicando por el factor aplicable, R 2, de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(5). Para considerar diferentes resistencias de diseño que las asumidas en la determinación de los valores en las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3), las longitudes no reducidas determinadas a partir de las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3), incluidos los valores mínimos, podrán reducirse multiplicando por el factor aplicable, R 3, de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6). Las reducciones permitidas por las Tablas R608.7.1.1(4), R608.7.1.1(5) y R608.7.1.1(6) son acumulativas.

La longitud total de segmentos de muro macizo, TL, en una línea de muro que cumpla con los requisitos mínimos de longitud de la Sección R608.7.2.1 [ver Figura R608.7.1.1(1)] deberá ser igual o mayor que el producto de la longitud no reducida de muro macizo de las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3), UR, y los factores de reducción aplicables, si los hay, de las Tablas R608.7.1.1(4), R608.7.1.1(5) y R608.7.1.1(6) según lo indicado en la Ecuación 6-1.

Ecuación 6-1 TLR 1 × R 2 × R 3 × UR

donde:

TL = Longitud total de segmentos de muro macizo en una línea de muro que cumple con la Sección R608.7.2.1 [ver Figura R608.7.1.1(1)].

R 1 = 1.0 o factor de reducción para altura media del techo según la Tabla R608.7.1.1(4). R 2 = 1.0 o factor de reducción para altura de muro de piso a techo según la Tabla R608.7.1.1(5). R 3 = 1.0 o factor de reducción para resistencia de diseño según la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6). UR = Longitud no reducida de muro macizo de las Tablas R608.7.1.1(1) a (3).

La longitud total de muro macizo en una línea de muro, TL, no deberá ser menor que la proporcionada por dos segmentos de muro macizo que cumplan con los requisitos mínimos de longitud de la Sección R608.7.2.1.

Para facilitar la determinación del espesor requerido del muro, tipo de muro, número y grado de barras verticales en cada extremo de cada segmento de muro macizo, y si se requiere refuerzo para cortante, se permite el uso de la Ecuación 6-2.

Ecuación 6-2

R 3 ≤ ------------------------------ TL R 1 × R 2 × UR

Después de determinar el valor máximo permitido del factor de reducción para resistencia de diseño, R 3, de acuerdo con la Ecuación 6-2, seleccione un tipo de muro de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6) con R 3 menor o igual al valor calculado.

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 1 mile per hour = 0.447 m/s, 1 pound-force per linear foot = 0.146 kN/m, 1 pound per square foot = 47.88 Pa.
a. Tabulated lengths were derived by calculating design wind pressures in accordance with Figure 28.4-1 of ASCE 7 for a building with a mean roof height of 35 feet, topographic
factor,Kzt, equal to 1.0, and Risk Category II. For wind perpendicular to the ridge, the effects of a 2-foot overhang on each endwall are included. The design pressures were
used to calculate forces to be resisted by solid wall segments in each. The forces to be resisted by each wall line were then divided by the default design strength of 840
pounds per linear foot of length to determine the unreduced length,UR, of solid wall length required in each endwall. The actual mean roof height of the building shall not
exceed the least horizontal dimension of the building.
b. Tabulated lengths in the “minimum” column are based on the requirement of Section 28.4.4 of ASCE 7 that the main windforce-resisting system be designed for a minimum
pressure of 16 psf multiplied by the wall area of the building and 8 psf multiplied by the roof area of the building projected onto a vertical plane normal to the assumed wind
direction. Tabulated lengths in shaded cells are less than the “minimum” value. Where the minimum controls, it is permitted to be reduced in accordance with Notes c, d and
e. See Section R608.7.1.1.
c. For buildings with a mean roof height of less than 35 feet, tabulated lengths are permitted to be reduced by multiplying by the appropriate factor,_R_1, from Table R608.7.1.1(4).
The reduced length shall be not less than the “minimum” value shown in the table.
d. Tabulated lengths for “one story or top story of two story” are based on a floor-to-ceiling height of 10 feet. Tabulated lengths for “first story of two story” are based on floor-
to-ceiling heights of 10 feet each for the first and second story. For floor-to-ceiling heights less than assumed, use the lengths in this table or Table R608.7.1.1(2) or (3), or
multiply the value in the table by the reduction factor,_R_2, from Table R608.7.1.1(5).
e. Tabulated lengths are based on the default design shear strength of 840 pounds per linear foot of solid wall segment. The tabulated lengths are permitted to be reduced by
multiplying by the applicable reduction factor for design strength,_R_3, from Table R608.7.1.1(6).
f. The reduction factors,_R_1, R_2 and_R_3, in Tables R608.7.1.1(4), R608.7.1.1(5), and R608.7.1.1(6), respectively, are permitted to be compounded, subject to the limitations of Note
b. However, the minimum number and minimum length of solid wall segments in each wall line shall comply with Sections R608.7.1 and R608.7.2.1, respectively.
g. For intermediate values of sidewall length, endwall length, roof slope and_basic wind speed

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 1 mile per hour = 0.447 m/s, 1 pound force per linear foot = 0.146 kN/m, 1 pound per square foot = 47.88 Pa.
a. Tabulated lengths were derived by calculating design wind pressures in accordance with Figure 28.4-1 of ASCE 7 for a building with a mean roof height of 35 feet, topographic
factor,Kzt, equal to 1.0, and Risk Category II. For wind perpendicular to the ridge, the effects of a 2-foot overhang on each endwall are included. The design pressures were
used to calculate forces to be resisted by solid wall segments in each endwall. The forces to be resisted by each wall line were then divided by the default design strength of
840 pounds per linear foot of length to determine the unreduced length,UR, of solid wall length required in each endwall. The actual mean roof height of the building shall
not exceed the least horizontal dimension of the building.
b. Tabulated lengths in the “minimum” column are based on the requirement of Section 28.4.4 of ASCE 7 that the main windforce-resisting system be designed for a minimum
pressure of 1016 psf multiplied by the wall area of the building and 8 psf multiplied by the roof area of the building projected onto a vertical plane normal to the assumed
wind direction. Tabulated lengths in shaded cells are less than the “minimum” value. Where the minimum controls, it is permitted to be reduced in accordance with Notes c,
d and e. See Section R608.7.1.1.
c. For buildings with a mean roof height of less than 35 feet, tabulated lengths are permitted to be reduced by multiplying by the appropriate factor,_R_1, from Table R608.7.1.1(4).
The reduced length shall be not less than the “minimum” value shown in the table.
d. Tabulated lengths for “one story or top story of two story” are based on a floor-to-ceiling height of 10 feet. Tabulated lengths for “first story of two story” are based on floor-
to-ceiling heights of 10 feet each for the first and second story. For floor-to-ceiling heights less than assumed, use the lengths in this table or Table R608.7.1.1(1) or
R608.7.1.1(3), or multiply the value in the table by the reduction factor,_R_2, from Table R608.7.1.1(5).
e. Tabulated lengths are based on the default design shear strength of 840 pounds per linear foot of solid wall segment. The tabulated lengths are permitted to be reduced by
multiplying by the applicable reduction factor for design strength,_R_3, from Table R608.7.1.1(6).
f. The reduction factors,_R_1, _R_2 and_R_3, in Tables R608.7.1.1(4), R608.7.1.1(5), and R608.7.1.1(6), respectively, are permitted to be compounded, subject to the limitations of Note
b. However, the minimum number and minimum length of solid wall segments in each wall line shall comply with Sections R608.7.1 and R608.7.2.1, respectively.
g. For intermediate values of sidewall length, endwall length, roof slope and basic wind speed, use the next higher value, or determine by interpolation.

to-ceiling heights of 10 feet each for the first and second story. For floor-to-ceiling heights less than assumed, use the lengths in this table or Table R608.7.1.1(1) or
R608.7.1.1(3), or multiply the value in the table by the reduction factor,_R_2, from Table R608.7.1.1(5).
e. Tabulated lengths are based on the default design shear strength of 840 pounds per linear foot of solid wall segment. The tabulated lengths are permitted to be reduced by
multiplying by the applicable reduction factor for design strength,_R_3, from Table R608.7.1.1(6).
f. The reduction factors,_R_1, _R_2 and_R_3, in Tables R608.7.1.1(4), R608.7.1.1(5), and R608.7.1.1(6), respectively, are permitted to be compounded, subject to the limitations of Note
b. However, the minimum number and minimum length of solid wall segments in each wall line shall comply with Sections R608.7.1 and R608.7.2.1, respectively.
g. For intermediate values of sidewall length, endwall length, roof slope and basic wind speed, use the next higher value, or determine by interpolation.
For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 1 mile per hour = 0.447 m/s, 1 pound force per linear foot = 0.146 kN/m, 1 pound per square foot = 47.88 Pa.
a. Tabulated lengths were derived by calculating design wind pressures in accordance with Figure 28.4-1 of ASCE 7 for a building with a mean roof height of 35 feet, topographic
factor,Kzt, equal to 1.0, and Risk Category II. For wind perpendicular to the ridge, the effects of a 2-foot overhang on each endwall are included. The design pressures were
used to calculate forces to be resisted by solid wall segments in each endwall. The forces to be resisted by each wall line were then divided by the default design strength of
840 pounds per linear foot of length to determine the unreduced length,UR, of solid wall length required in each endwall. The actual mean roof height of the building shall
not exceed the least horizontal dimension of the building.
b. Tabulated lengths in the “minimum” column are based on the requirement of Section 28.4.4 of ASCE 7 that the main windforce-resisting system be designed for a minimum
pressure of 1016 psf multiplied by the wall area of the building and 8 psf multiplied by the roof area of the building projected onto a vertical plane normal to the assumed
wind direction. Tabulated lengths in shaded cells are less than the “minimum” value. Where the minimum controls, it is permitted to be reduced in accordance with Notes c,
d and e. See Section R608.7.1.1.
c. For buildings with a mean roof height of less than 35 feet, tabulated lengths are permitted to be reduced by multiplying by the appropriate factor,_R_1, from Table R608.7.1.1(4).
The reduced length shall be not less than the “minimum” value shown in the table.

a. Tabulated lengths were derived by calculating design wind pressures in accordance with Figure 28.4-1 of ASCE 7 for a building with a mean roof height of 35 feet, topographic

R608.7.2 Segmentos de muro sólido. Los segmentos de muro sólido que contribuyan a la longitud requerida de muro sólido deberán cumplir con esta sección. El refuerzo deberá proporcionarse de acuerdo con la Sección R608.7.2.2 y la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6). Los segmentos de muro sólido deberán extenderse a toda la altura del piso sin aberturas, excepto las aberturas para las instalaciones y otros servicios del edificio que atraviesen el muro. En muros planos y muros de retícula tipo waffle, dichas aberturas deberán tener un área menor a 30 pulgadas cuadradas (19 355 mm [2]) sin que ninguna dimensión exceda 6 1/4 pulgadas (159 mm), y no deberán ubicarse a menos de 6 pulgadas (152 mm) de los bordes laterales del segmento de muro sólido. En muros de retícula tipo pantalla, dichas aberturas deberán ubicarse en la porción del segmento de muro sólido entre los núcleos horizontales y verticales de concreto, y el tamaño y ubicación de la abertura no están restringidos siempre que no se retire concreto.

R608.7.2.1 Longitud mínima del segmento de muro sólido y espaciamiento máximo. Solo se incluirán en la longitud total de muro sólido requerida por la Sección R608.7.1 los segmentos de muro sólido con una longitud igual o mayor a 24 pulgadas (610 mm). Además, no se incluirán más de dos segmentos de muro sólido con una longitud igual o mayor a 24 pulgadas (610 mm) y menor a 48 pulgadas (1219 mm) en la longitud total requerida de muro sólido. El ancho máximo de abertura libre será de 18 pies (5486 mm). Véase la Figura R608.7.1.1(1).

R608.7.2.2 Refuerzo en segmentos de muro sólido.

R608.7.2.2.1 Refuerzo horizontal para corte. Cuando se utilicen factores de reducción para la resistencia de diseño, R 3, de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6) basados en la provisión de refuerzo horizontal y vertical para corte, los segmentos de muro sólido deberán tener refuerzo horizontal consistente en barras No. 4 como mínimo. El refuerzo horizontal para corte deberá ser del mismo grado de acero requerido para el refuerzo vertical en los extremos de los segmentos de muro sólido según la Sección R608.7.2.2.2.

El espaciamiento del refuerzo horizontal no deberá exceder el menor valor entre la mitad de la longitud del segmento de muro sólido menos 2 pulgadas (51 mm), y 18 pulgadas (457 mm). El refuerzo horizontal para corte deberá terminarse conforme a la Sección R608.6.4.

R608.7.2.2.2 Refuerzo vertical. El refuerzo vertical aplicable a los factores de reducción para la resistencia de diseño, R 3, de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6) que se utilice, deberá ubicarse en cada extremo de cada segmento de muro sólido conforme al detalle aplicable en la Figura R608.7.1.1(2). La barra vertical No. 4 requerida a cada lado de una abertura por la Sección R608.8.1.2 podrá usarse como refuerzo en los extremos de los segmentos de muro sólido cuando se instale conforme al detalle aplicable en la Figura R608.7.1.1(2). Deberán colocarse no menos de dos barras No. 4 en cada extremo de los segmentos de muro sólido ubicadas según el detalle aplicable en la Figura R608.7.1.1(2). Una de las barras en cada extremo de los segmentos de muro sólido se considerará que cumple con los requisitos para el refuerzo vertical del muro exigido por la Sección R608.6.

El refuerzo vertical del muro en cada extremo de cada segmento de muro sólido deberá desarrollarse por debajo de la parte inferior de la abertura adyacente del muro [véase la Figura R608.7.1.1(3)] mediante uno de los siguientes métodos:

  1. Cuando la altura del muro por debajo de la parte inferior de la abertura adyacente sea igual o mayor a 22 pulgadas (559 mm) para refuerzo vertical No. 4 o 28 pulgadas (711 mm) para refuerzo vertical No. 5, el refuerzo alrededor de las aberturas conforme a la Sección R608.8.1 será suficiente.

  2. Cuando la altura del muro por debajo de la parte inferior de la abertura adyacente sea menor a la requerida en el punto 1, el refuerzo vertical del muro adyacente a la abertura deberá extenderse dentro de la cimentación lo suficiente para desarrollar la barra a tensión conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.4 y la Figura R608.5.4(2), o deberá empalmarse con una varilla de anclaje embebida en la cimentación lo suficiente para desarrollar la varilla de anclaje a tensión.

R608.7.2.2.3 Refuerzo vertical para corte. Cuando se utilicen factores de reducción para la resistencia de diseño, R 3, de la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6) basados en la provisión de refuerzo horizontal y vertical para corte, los segmentos de muro sólido deberán tener refuerzo vertical consistente en barras No. 4 como mínimo. El refuerzo vertical para corte deberá ser del mismo grado de acero requerido por la Sección R608.7.2.2.2 para el refuerzo vertical en los extremos de los segmentos de muro sólido. El espaciamiento del refuerzo vertical a lo largo de la longitud del segmento no deberá exceder el menor valor entre un tercio de la longitud del segmento y 18 pulgadas (457 mm). El refuerzo vertical para corte deberá ser continuo entre pisos conforme a la Sección R608.6.3, y deberá terminarse conforme a la Sección R608.6.4. El refuerzo vertical para corte requerido por esta sección podrá usarse como refuerzo vertical requerido por la Tabla R608.6(1), R608.6(2), R608.6(3) o R608.6(4), según corresponda.

R608.7.2.3 Segmentos de muro sólido en esquinas. En todas las esquinas interiores y exteriores de muros exteriores, un segmento de muro sólido deberá extenderse a toda la altura de cada piso del muro. El segmento deberá tener la longitud requerida para desarrollar el refuerzo horizontal por encima y por debajo de la abertura adyacente a tensión conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.4. Para una esquina exterior, la dimensión límite se mide en el exterior del muro, y para una esquina interior la dimensión límite se mide en el interior del muro. Véase la Sección R608.8.1. La longitud de un segmento que contribuya a la longitud requerida de muro sólido deberá cumplir con la Sección R608.7.2.1.

El extremo de un segmento de muro sólido que cumpla con los requisitos mínimos de longitud de la Sección R608.7.2.1 deberá ubicarse a no más de 6 pies (1829 mm) de cada esquina.

c. Table values are based on concrete with a minimum specified compressive strength of 2,500 psi. See Notes l and n. Table values are based on uniform loading. See Section
R608.8.2 for lintels supporting concentrated loads.
d. Deflection criterion is_L_/240, where_L_ is the clear span of the lintel in inches, or1/2 inch, whichever is less.
e. Linear interpolation is permitted between ground snow loads.
f. DR indicates design required. STL indicates stirrups required throughout lintel.
g. Lintel depth,D, is permitted to include the available height of wall located directly above the lintel, provided that the increased lintel depth spans the entire length of the
lintel.
h. Stirrups shall be fabricated from reinforcing bars with the same yield strength as that used for the main longitudinal reinforcement.
i. Lintels less than 24 inches in depth with stirrups shall be formed from flat-wall forms [see Tables R608.8(2) through R608.8(5)], or, if necessary, form material shall be
removed from waffle-grid forms so as to provide the required cover for stirrups. Allowable spans for lintels formed with flat-wall forms shall be determined from Tables
R608.8(2) through R608.8(5).
j. Where stirrups are required for 24-inch-deep lintels, the spacing shall not exceed 12 inches on center.
k. Allowable clear span without stirrups applicable to all lintels of the same depth,D. Top and bottom reinforcement for lintels without stirrups shall be not less than the least
amount of reinforcement required for a lintel of the same depth and loading condition with stirrups. All other spans require stirrups spaced at not more than_d_/2.
l. Where concrete with a minimum specified compressive strength of 3,000 psi is used, clear spans for lintels without stirrups shall be permitted to be multiplied by 1.05. If the
increased span exceeds the allowable clear span for a lintel of the same depth and loading condition with stirrups, the top and bottom reinforcement shall be equal to or
greater than that required for a lintel of the same depth and loading condition that has an allowable clear span that is equal to or greater than that of the lintel without stir-
rups that has been increased.
m.Center distance,A, is the center portion of the span where stirrups are not required. This is applicable to all longitudinal bar sizes and steel yield strengths.
n. Where concrete with a minimum specified compressive strength of 3,000 psi is used, center distance,A, shall be permitted to be multiplied by 1.10.
o. The maximum clear opening width between two solid wall segments shall be 18 feet. See Section R608.7.2.1. Lintel spans in the table greater than 18 feet are shown for inter-
polation and information only.

El refuerzo horizontal colocado arriba y debajo de una abertura deberá extenderse más allá de los bordes de la abertura la dimensión requerida para desarrollar la barra a tensión conforme a la Sección R608.5.4.4.

Excepción: El refuerzo horizontal continuo del muro colocado dentro de 12 pulgadas (305 mm) desde la parte superior del nivel del muro, según lo requerido en las Secciones R404.1.3.2 y R608.6.2, se permite en lugar del refuerzo de dintel superior o inferior requerido por la Sección R608.8.2, siempre que el refuerzo horizontal continuo cumpla con los requisitos de ubicación especificados en las Figuras R608.8(2), R608.8(3) y R608.8(4) y los requisitos de tamaño especificados en las Tablas R608.8(2) a R608.8(10).

R608.8.1.2 Refuerzo vertical. Se deberá proporcionar no menos de una barra No. 4 [Grado 40 (280 MPa)] a cada lado de aberturas iguales o mayores a 2 pies (610 mm) de ancho. El refuerzo vertical requerido por esta sección deberá extenderse a toda la altura del nivel del muro y ubicarse dentro de 12 pulgadas (305 mm) de cada lado de la abertura. El refuerzo vertical requerido a cada lado de una abertura por esta sección podrá servir como refuerzo en los extremos de segmentos sólidos del muro conforme a la Sección R608.7.2.2.2, siempre que se ubique según el detalle aplicable en la Figura R608.7.1.1(2). Cuando el refuerzo vertical requerido por esta sección se use para satisfacer los requisitos de la Sección R608.7.2.2.2 en muros con retícula tipo waffle y screen, se deberá crear una brida de concreto en los extremos de los segmentos sólidos del muro conforme a la Tabla R608.7.1.1(6), Nota e. En el nivel superior, el refuerzo deberá terminar conforme a la Sección R608.6.4.

R608.8.2 Dinteles. Se deberán proporcionar dinteles sobre todas las aberturas iguales o mayores a 2 pies (610 mm) de ancho. Los dinteles con carga uniforme deberán cumplir con las Secciones R608.8.2.1 y R608.8.2.2, o la Sección R608.8.2.3. Los dinteles que soporten cargas concentradas, como de vigas o vigas principales de techo o piso, deberán diseñarse conforme a ACI 318.

R608.8.2.1 Dinteles diseñados para condiciones de carga gravitacional. Cuando un dintel esté sujeto a condiciones de carga gravitacional 1 a 5 de la Tabla R608.8(1), el claro del dintel no deberá exceder lo permitido por las Tablas R608.8(2) a R608.8(8). El claro máximo de dinteles con y sin estribos en muros planos se determinará conforme a las Tablas R608.8(2) a R608.8(5), y se construirá conforme a la Figura R608.8(2). El claro máximo de dinteles con y sin estribos en muros con retícula tipo waffle se determinará conforme a las Tablas R608.8(6) y R608.8(7), y se construirá conforme a la Figura R608.8(3). El claro máximo de dinteles con y sin estribos en muros con retícula tipo screen se determinará conforme a la Tabla R608.8(8), y se construirá conforme a la Figura R608.8(4).

Cuando la tabla aplicable lo requiera, se deberán instalar estribos No. 3 en los dinteles con un espaciamiento máximo de d/2 donde d es la profundidad del dintel, D, menos la cubierta de concreto como se muestra en las Figuras R608.8(2) a R608.8(4). Se usará el valor menor de d calculado para la barra superior e inferior para determinar el espaciamiento máximo de los estribos. Cuando se requieran estribos en un dintel con una sola barra o dos barras agrupadas en la parte superior e inferior, estos se fabricarán en forma de letra “c” o “s” con ganchos estándar de 135 grados (2.36 rad) en cada extremo que cumplan con la Sección R608.5.4.5 y la Figura R608.5.4(3) y se instalarán como se muestra en las Figuras R608.8(2) a R608.8(4). Cuando se requieran dos barras en la parte superior e inferior del dintel y las barras no estén agrupadas, deberán separarse por no menos de 1 pulgada (25 mm). El extremo libre de los estribos se fabricará con ganchos estándar de 90 o 135 grados (1.57 o 2.36 rad) que cumplan con la Sección R608.5.4.5 y la Figura R608.5.4(3) y se instalarán como se muestra en las Figuras R608.8(2) y R608.8(3). Para dinteles planos, con retícula tipo waffle y screen, no se requieren estribos en la porción central de la luz, A, conforme a la Figura R608.8(1) y las Tablas R608.8(2) a R608.8(8).
