If there are other structural entities in the model like beams, slabs and columns, ensure that the shear wall connects to these elements through common nodes when it is meshed internally. For example a beam running along the top edge of the shear wall…

The main requirement of IS: 13920 is to acquire ductility. It is to be noted that ductility can be achieved only in RCC flexural member. Here we are allowing the RCC flexural member to undergo inelastic deformation without losing its strength. The code…

Theoretically, ductility can be incorporated in a flexural member. Axial compression members can’t be designed using ductility concept. Thus, the code has distinctively demarcated a axial compression from a flexural member. If axial stress exceeds 0.1fck…

Thanks a lot Abhisek. Finally it works , according to your explained way .

The RC Designer is only able to design circular and square/rectangular columns. Cheers, Chris
