4. Shear Wall Design

   

Since the wall thickness is less than 210 mm, only one layer of reinforcement is therefore required.

CSA A23.3-14 (14.1.8.3)

The minimum horizontal reinforcement is

CSA A23.3-14 (14.1.8.6)

Use No. 10M bars.

CSA A23.3-14 (Eq. 11.1)

The effective shear depth, dv, of a wall need not be taken as less than 0.8lw.

CSA A23.3-14 (21.5.9.2)

The factored shear resistance shall be determined by

CSA A23.3-14 (Eq. 11.4)

However, Vr shall not exceed

CSA A23.3-14 (Eq. 11.5)

Shear strength provided by concrete

CSA A23.3-14 (Eq. 11.6)

CSA A23.3-14 (11.3.6.3)

CSA A23.3-14 (11.3.4)

à No additional reinforcement required.

Use No. 10M @ 250 mm for horizontal reinforcement.
