Design the wall with the combination: (1.25 × D + 0.5 × L + 1.4 × W)

For this wall, the moment at the base governs the design as shown in the previous Figure.

The minimum area of vertical reinforcement distributed between concentrated reinforcements (A_tv) at the wall ends is equal to:

CSA A23.3-14 (14.1.8.5)

Use No. 10M bars.

CSA A23.3-14 (Eq. 10.1)

CSA A23.3-14 (Eq. 10.2)

Verification of the wall under the combination: (0.90 × D + 1.4 × W)

Use 2-15M at each end, due to concentrated wind generated load.

CSA A23.3-14 (14.1.8.8.1)

Therefore, a 10M bar is replaced by 2-15M as illustrated in the following Figure.
