7. Tilt-Up Wall Shear Stress Check

In-plane shear is not evaluated since in-plane shear forces are not applied in this example. Out-of-plane shear due to lateral load should be checked against the shear capacity of the wall. By inspection of the maximum shear forces, it can be determined that the maximum shear force is under 5 kip. The wall left leg (the weakest section) has a shear capacity approximately 50 kip and no detailed calculations are required by engineering judgement. (See figure 10 for detailed shear force diagram)
