https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/133613/shear-wall-designHi Everyone, How does staad treat out of plane forces in the design of shear walls? As I&#39;ve never seen Staad generate an interaction diagram for the design of these members. Which design methodology does staad employ in its shear wall designs?en-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/408193?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 03 Apr 2017 20:48:24 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:93799fe4-cfe3-4d73-97fc-eed74799922bSye<p>The design of shear walls subjected to out of plane bending and compression is carried out as per the Alternate Design of Slender Walls ( Section 14.8 of Chapter 14 of the ACI code). This is mentioned in the technical reference manual section 3.8.2 titled Shear Wall Design.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
