Designed By Ronald Kury
Project: Example 01
Shear Wall Design (ACI318M-02)
Marking: W1 from Basement to Ground Floor

1. Input Data
Ultimate Axial Load Pu = 2539 kN
Ultimate Moment Mu = 0 kN-m
Ultimate Base Shear Force Vu = 0 kN
Minmum Moment Mmin = kN-m
fy = 390 N/mm2
fc' = 37 N/mm2
ø= 0.75
Unsupported wall height lu = 4200 mm
Wall thickness t= 200 mm
Wall length lw = 2800 mm
effective depth d= 2240 mm
Ag = 560000 mm2
Slenderness ratio = 14
Minimum Thickness of Wall tmin = 210 mm

2. Does the shear reinforcement require?

Shear capacity of concrete øVc = 341 kN < Vu Shear reinforcement is not required, provide the
minimum

3. Minimum steel required

Minimun horizontal rebar Asmin = 1120 mm
Minimum vertical steel Asmin = 672 mm

4. Spacing Limit
Max horizontal rebar spacing = 450 mm
Max vertical rebar spacing = 450 mm

5. Select the horizontal rebar.

Select horizontal rebar diameter = 10 mm
Select horizontal rebar spacing s= 200 mm
Provided horizontal rebar area As = 1758 mm2 OK

Required horizontal rebar capacity Vsreq = NA kN

Provided shear link (horizontal rebar) capacity Vsprov = 65 kN OK

Design Assumption
1. Vertical and horizontal rebars were provided at each face of the wall. (i.e provided in two layers.)
