A 20m high 3 5m long shear wall is acting as both a lateral and vertical support to a 4 storey building.
Reinforced concrete shear wall for beam and column.
Floor slabs frame into it at 3 2m centres and are 200mm thick.
The equivalent area of the section in terms of concrete is equal to a a s m a c b a c m a s ans c a s m a c d a c m a s.
These are important structural elements in high rise buildings.
16 in a singly reinforced concrete beam as the load increases a only concrete will resist tension.
External steel reinforcement the shear capacity of concrete members such as columns beams slabs and shear walls can be increased by attaching steel plates fig.
It s an important point to understand that they only work for horizontal loads in one direction which is the axis of long dimension of wall.
In a reinforced concrete column the cross sectional area of steel bar is a s and that of concrete is a c.
Design the reinforcement in the wall at its base and mid height.
Subframe analysis to ec2 by reinforced concrete council.
These take care of the horizontal loads like wind and earthquake loads.
1 to the concrete surface with.
Shear walls are actually very large columns because of which they appear like walls rather than columns.
Shear walls also carry the vertical loads.
