TITLE 8 - BUILDING REGULATI0NS
Chapter 12. Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
8-12.101. Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to promote public safety and
welfare by reducing the risk of death or injury that may result from the effects of
earthquakes on unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings. Such buildings have
been widely recognized as posing a threat to life because of a history of poor
performance, i.e., partial or complete collapse, during moderate to strong
earthquakes.
The provisions of this chapter are intended as minimum standards for structural
seismic resistance established primarily to reduce the risk of life loss or injury.
Compliance with these standards will not necessarily prevent loss of life or injury
or prevent earthquake damage to rehabilitated buildings. This chapter does not
require alteration of existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical or fire safety
systems (unless they constitute a hazard to life or property), nor require disabled
access or energy conservation alterations.
This chapter provides systematic procedures and standards for identification and
classification of unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings based on their present
use. Priorities, time periods and standards are also established under which these
buildings are required to be structurally analyzed and anchored. where the analysis
finds deficiencies, this chapter requires the buildings to be strengthened or
demolished.
Qualified Historical Buildings shall comply with the State Historical Building Code
(SHBC) established under Part 8, Title 24 of the California Administrative Code.
8-12.102. ScoQe The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all unreinforced
masonry buildings.
Exceptions:
A. This chapter shall not apply to detached one or two family dwellings and
detached apartment houses containing less than 5 dwelling units and used
solely for residential purposes.
B. This chapter shall not apply to warehouses and similar buildings used for
emergency services or supplies. (warehouses that have been converted to
retail, office, commercial, or residential occupancies are not exempt).
Ordinance No. 226
Exhibit "An
Page No. 3
C. This chapter shall not apply to buildings owned by the Federal or state
Government. (Buildings owned by local jurisdictions are not exempt).
All conforming and legal nonconforming buildings that are required to be
strengthened by alteration as a result of this chapter shall not be required to
comply with current site improvement standards of the City of Atascadero Zoning
Ordinance, including parking and landscaping.
In the event a building owner does not agree with zoning or signage conditions, he
or she may seek relief through appeal to the Planning Commission.
8-12.103. DEFINITIONS For purposes of this chapter, the applicable definitions in
Sections 2302 and 2312 of the uniform Building Code (1) shall apply:

Tension stresses due to seismic forces normal to the wall may be neglected
if the walls do not exceed the height to thickness ratio in Table No. 12-G
and the in-plane shear stresses due to seismic loads as set forth in Table
No. 12-J.
if the wall height-thickness ratio exceeds the specified limits, the wall
may be supported by vertical bracing members designed in accordance with
8-12.108. The deflections of such bracing member at design loads shall
not exceed one-tenth of the wall thickness.
EZCEPTIONs
The wall may be supported by flexible vertical bracing members designed in accordance
with 8-12.107, if the deflection at design loads is not less than one-quarter nor more
than one-third of the wall thickness.
All vertical bracing members shall be attached to floor and roof construction for their
design loads independently of required wall anchors. Horizontal spacing of vertical
bracing members shall not exceed one-half the unsupported height of the wall nor ten
feet.
The wall height may be measured vertically to bracing elements other than a floor or
roof. Spacing of the bracing elements and wall anchors shall not exceed six feet.
Bracing elements shall be detailed to minimize the horizontal displacement of the wall
by components of vertical displacements of the floor or roof.
(b) Existing Roof Floors walls Footings and wood Framing. Existing
materials including wood shear walls utilized in the described
configuration may be used as part of the later load resisting system,
provided that the stresses in these materials does not exceed the value
shown in Appendix Table No. 12-H.

4. Alternate Materials. Alternate materials, designs and methods of construction
may be approved by the Building official in accordance with the provisions of the
Uniform Building Code.
5. Minimum Acceptable Quality of Existina Unreinforced Masonry walls:
(a) General Provisions. All unreinforced masonry walls utilized to carry
vertical loads and seismic forces parallel and perpendicular to the wall
plane shall be tested as specified in this subsection. All masonry
quality shall equal or exceed the minimum standards established herein or
shall be removed and replaced by new materials. Alternate methods of
testing may be approved by the Building Official. The quality of mortar
in all masonry walls shall be determined by performing in-place shear
tests or by testing eight inch diameter cores. Alternative methods of
testing may be approved by the Building Official. Nothing shall prevent
pointing with mortar of all the masonry wall joints before the tests are
first made. Prior to any pointing, the mortar joints must be raked and
cleaned to remove loose and deteriorated mortar. Mortar for pointing
shall be Type S or N except that masonry cements shall not be used. All
preparation and mortar pointing shall be done under the continuous
inspection of a special inspector certified to inspect masonry or
concrete, and approved by the Building Official. At the conclusions of
the inspections of, the inspector shall submit a written report to the
licensed engineer or architect responsible for the seismic analysis of the
building setting forth the result of the work inspected. Such report
shall be submitted to the Building Official for approval as part of the
structural analysis. All testing shall be performed in accordance with
the requirements specified in this subsection by a testing agency approved
by the Building Official. An accurate record shall be kept of all such
tests and of their locations in the building, and these results shall be
submitted to the Building Official for approval as part of the structural
analysis.
(b) Number and Location of Tests. The minimum number of tests shall be two
per wall or line of wall elements resisting a common force, or 1 per 1500
square feet of wall surface, with a minimum of eight tests in any case.
The exact test or core location shall be determined at the building site
by the licensed engineer or architect responsible for the seismic analysis
of the subject building.
(c) In-Place Shear Tests. The bed joints of the outer Wythe of the masonry
shall be tested in shear by laterally displacing a single brick relative
to the adjacent bricks in that Wythe. The opposite head joint of the
brick to be tested shall be removed and cleaned prior to testing. The
minimum quality mortar in 80 percent of the shear tests shall not be less
than the total of 30 psi plus the axial stress in the wall at the point of
the test. The shear stress shall be based on the gross area of both bed
joints and shall be that at which movement of the brick is first observed.
Ordinance No. 226
Exhibit "A"
Page No. 10
(d) Core Tests. A minimum number of mortar test specimens equal to the number
of required cores shall be prepared from the cores and tested as specified
herein. The mortar joint of the outer Wythe of the masonry core shall be
tested in shear by placing the circular core section in a compression
testing machine with the mortar bed joint rotated 15 degrees from the axis
of the applied load. The mortar joint tested in shear shall have an
average ultimate stress of 20 psi based on the gross area. The average
shall be obtained from the total number of cores made. If test specimens
cannot be made from cores taken, then the shear value shall be reported as
zero.
6. Testing of Shear Bolts. One-fourth of all new shear bolts and dowels embedded
in unreinforced masonry walls shall be tested by a Special Inspector using a
torque calibrated wrench to the following minimum torques:
1/2" diameter bolts or dowels = 40 foot-lbs.
5/8" diameter bolts or dowels = 50 foot-lbs.
3/4" diameter bolts or dowels = 60 foot-lbs.
No bolts exceeding 3/4" shall be used. All nuts shall be installed over
malleable iron or plate washers when bearing on wood and heavy cut washers when
bearing on steel.
7. Determination of Allowable stresses for Design Methods based on Test Results.
(a) Design Shear Values. Design seismic in-plane shear stresses shall be
substantiated by tests performed as specified in 8-12.108(5.c & d).
Design stresses shall be related to test results obtained in accordance
with Table No. 12-J. Intermediate values between 3 and 10 psi may be
interpolated.
(b) Design Compressions and Tension Values. Compression stresses for
reinforced masonry having a minimum design shear value of 3 psi shall not
exceed 100 psi. Design tension values for unreinforced masonry shall not
be permitted.

8. Tests Required. Five percent of the existing rod anchors utilized as all or part
of the required wall anchors shall be tested in pullout by an approved testing
laboratory. The minimum number tested shall be four per floor, with two tests
at walls with joist framing into the wall and two tests at walls with joists
framing into the wall and two tests at walls with joists parallel to the wall.
The test apparatus shall be supported on the masonry wall at a minimum distance
of the wall thickness from the anchor tested. The rod anchor shall be given a
pre-load of 300 lbs. prior to establishing a datum for recording elongations.
The tension test load reported shall be recorded at one-eighth inch relative
movement of the anchor and the adjacent masonry surface.
Results of all tests shall be reported. The report shall include the test
results as related to the wall thickness and joist orientation. The allowable
resistance value of the existing anchors shall be 40 percent of the average of
those tested anchors having the same wall thickness and joist orientation.
9. Test Procedures. Qualification tests for devices used for wall anchorage shall
be tested with the entire tension load carried on the enlarged head at the
exterior face of the wall. Bond on the part of the device between the enlarged
head and the interior wall face shall be eliminated for the qualification tests.
The resistance value assigned the device shall be 20 percent of the average of
the ultimate loads.
