Problem Statement

Reinforced Concrete Bearing Wall Design (CSA A23.3-14)

01 3D Model

A structural reinforced concrete bearing wall in a single-story building provides gravity load resistance for the following applied loads:

Roof uniform dead load

= 120 kN/m

Roof uniform live load

= 150 kN/m

The assumed bearing wall section is investigated after analysis to verify suitability for the applied loads then compared with numerical analysis results obtained from spWall engineering software program from StructurePoint.
