How to design concrete shear wall.

A 20m high 3 5m long shear wall is acting as both a lateral and vertical support to a 4 storey building. The wall thickness of rcc varies from the 150mm to 400mm. Firstly it is required to calculate the different types of loads on the shear walls. Calculate the lateral loads to be applied to the structure.

Lateral could be wind loads or earthquakes loads. Floor slabs frame into it at 3 2m centres and are 200mm thick. These forces are acting in the plane of the wall by the cantilever action where the bending deformation governs if slender walls are concern and a truss action for short walls where the. The following steps can be followed in designing the shear walls.

Before you can enter the concrete shear wall design mode the ram frame analysis should have been performed. Reinforced concrete shear wall analysis and design. Select mode concrete shear wall. The shear wall rebars start from the building foundation and end to the building top.

3 clear rather than the designed 2 clear. Shear wall section and assumed reinforcement is investigated after analysis to verify suitability for the applied loads. The mode drop down on the toolbar will indicate you are in shear wall design mode. Reinforced concrete shear wall analysis and design a structural reinforced concrete shear wall in a 5 story building provides lateral and gravity load resistance for the applied load as shown in the figure below.

This is the most common type of this walls. Bending strengthof the section has been reduced by about 15 shear strengthat wall base has been reduced by about 14. Those are the most common types of these walls. Types of the shear wall.

One of the main structural parts of a building structure is the shear wall. To design all your concrete shear walls you need to be in the concrete shear wall design mode. Strength reduced from 136 7 to 116 8 in kips. Shear wall is a vertical structural element used to resist the lateral forces that are usually due to the wind and seismic loads.

This wall consists of the reinforcements and concrete slab. A structural reinforced concrete shear wall in a 5 story building provides lateral and gravity load resistance for the applied load as shown in the figure below. There are 6 columns between it and the next shear wall. Concrete shear wall criteria.

The prescriptive seismic detailing requirements for each of three reinforced masonry shear walls. Design the reinforcement in the wall at its base and mid height. The requirements for both the design for overturning and the design for shear are explained. The design of reinforced masonry shear walls using both the allowable stress design method and the strength design method will be covered in this webinar.
