RAM Concrete Shear Wall Verification - Planar Wall Using ACI 318

Parents
  • Nice example.  One small comment is on the spacing of transverse reinforcement in the boundary zone.  ACI 318 §21.9.6.4(c) modifies 21.6.4.3(a) such that the spacing shall be one-third of the least dimension of the boundary element in lieu of one-fourth (required in §21.6.4.3(a) for frame columns).

    Thus, the minimum spacing could be 12/3 = 4"
