The example focuses on the design and detailing of one of the reinforced concrete walls.
Reinforced concrete wall design example.
Reinforced concrete wall when reinforcement 0 4.
A 20m high 3 5m long shear wall is acting as both a lateral and vertical support to a 4 storey building.
Design the reinforcement in the wall at its base and mid height.
The hand solution is used for a detailed comparison with the analysis and design results of the engineering software program spwall.
Floor slabs frame into it at 3 2m centres and are 200mm thick.
Rcc wall is.
Design concrete shear stress in wall section for out of plane bending.
Plain concrete wall when reinforcement 0 4.
2 5 clear to strength steel 5 12 rather than the designed 5 10 bending strength of the section has been reduced by about 16.
Strength reduced from 136 7 to 114 9 in kips.
The analysis and design of reinforced concrete shear wall as shown in this example is essential to lateral load resistance for wind and seismic forces.
There are 6 columns between it and the next shear wall.

The structure in this design example is a six story office building with reinforced concrete walls as its seismic force resisting system.
In this example the structural design of the three retaining wall components is performed by hand.
Design is similar to a rc column breadth equal to thickness of wall and depth equal to 1m.
When depth is large it is called rc wall.

In this example the structural design of the three retaining wall components is performed by hand.
Reinforced concrete stocky wall is where the effective height he divided by the thickness h does not exceed 15 for a braced wall and 10 for an unbraced wall.
Reinforced concrete wall is classified as.
