Ordinary Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall Design Based on ACI 318-14
INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY
CONCRETE STRENGTH (ACI 318 19.2.1.1) fc ' = 4 ksi, (28 MPa) FACTORED AXIAL LOAD Pu = 5000 kips, (22241 kN)
REBAR YIELD STRESS fy = 60 ksi, (414 MPa) FACTORED MOMENT LOAD Mu = 28026 ft-kips, (37998 kN-m)
FACTORED SHEAR LOAD Vu = 1100 kips, (4893 kN)
LENGTH OF SHEAR WALL L = 28 ft, (8.53 m)
THICKNESS OF WALL t = 12 in, (305 mm) THE WALL DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.

CHECK MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT RATIOS AND SPACING (ACI 318-14 11.6 & 11.7)
(rt )provd. = 0.0056 > (rt )min. = 0.0025 [Satisfactory]
(rl )provd. = 0.0056 > (rl )min. = 0.0015 [Satisfactory]

CHECK SHEAR CAPACITY (ACI 318-14 22.5 & 18.10.4)

fVn =MIN [ f Acv (2 (fc')0.5 + rt fy), f 8 Acv (fc')0.5 ] = 1112.4 kips > Vu [Satisfactory]
where f = 0.60 (conservatively, ACI 318-14 21.2)

CHECK FLEXURAL & AXIAL CAPACITY

THE ALLOWABLE MOMENT AT AN AXIAL LOAD Pu IS GIVEN BY
f Mn = 35406 kips. > Mu [Satisfactory]
where f = Min{0.9, Max[0.65 + (et - 0.002)(250/3) , 0.65]} = 0.650 (ACI 318-14 21.2)
