Vc = 3.3l*sqrt(f'c)hd + Nud/(4Lw)
= 3.3*1.0*sqrt(4,000)*12*(16*12)/1000 + 656*16/(4*20)
= 480.9 + 131.2
= 612.1 kips
Equation (11-28)
Vc = [ 0.6l*sqrt(f'c) + Lw[1.25*sqrt(f'c) + 0.2Nu/(Lwh)] / (Mu/Vu - Lw/2) ]hd
= [ 0.6*1.0*sqrt(4,000) + 20*12*[1.25*sqrt(4,000) + 0.2*656,000/(20*12*12)] / (9,333*12/250 - 20*12/2)

= [ 37.9 + 240*[79.1 + 45.6] / 328.0 ]*2304/1000

Thus, Equation (11-28) controls
Since this system is considered a Special Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall per ACI 318, the shear strength
per Section 21.9.4.1 is also evaluated,
Equation (21-7)
Vn = Acv(acl*sqrt(f'c) + rtfy)

We can deduce the value of fPn,max calculated by the program by dividing the value of Pu (which has zero
moment) by the interaction value:

The value of displacement used in the calculation of du is taken from the RAM Frame Nodal Displacements
report for the worst case combined load (accessible in RAM Frame Load Combinations mode).
Fromthereportshownabove,loadcombination4providestheworstcaseelasticlateral
displacementde=0.770".
du = Cdde = 5.0(0.770") = 3.85"
Also,
Lw = 12' x 12"/' = 240"
hw = 4 x 12.5' x 12"/' = 600" (overall height of wall)
du/hw = 3.85"/600" = 0.006417 < 0.007, thus use du/hw = 0.007 in ACI equation (21-8):
climit = 240/(600*0.007) = 57.14" = 4.76'

From the shear wall design results, the neutral axis distance from the extreme compression fiber for load
combination 4, 1.28D + 0.5L - E1, is
c = 5.09' > climit
Thusa special boundary element is required. The required length of the boundary is specified in ACI 31808, Section 21.9.6.4, and is equal to the larger of:
c - 0.1Lw = 5.09 - 0.1*20 = 3.10'
and
c/2 = 5.09/2 = 2.55'
Thus the required boundary length is 3.09', or 3'-1-3/16"

In this example, boundary regions have been assigned to the wall panel using the Assign -> Manual
Reinforcement command. They have been laid out so that the resulting boundary length exceeds the
minimum required length for each load combination. The point of maximum compression within the
section cut for the selected load combination is denoted with a black dot. The required boundary length is
then dimensioned from that point as shown in the screen capture above. If any reinforcing zones not
designated as boundaries lie within this region, a design failure will be issued on the Design Warnings tab.
In the scenario above, a boundary has been assigned so that the requirement is fulfilled.
The design of ties in confinement zones is per ACI 318-08, Section 21.6.4.
Equation (21-5)
Ash = 0.09sbcf'c/fyt
Per the code design criteria settings, a #4 tie is used,
Ash = 2 x 0.196 in2 = 0.392 in2
b = 12 - 2 x (0.75 + 0.50/2) = 10.0"
Rearranging and solving for s,
s = 60.0 x 0.392 / (0.09 x 10.0 x 4) = 6.53"
The spacing of transverse reinforcing shall also conform to ACI 318-08, Section 21.6.4.3, which states that
the spacing of transverse reinforcing shall not exceed the smallest of:
a) 1/4 of the minimum member dimension = 12/4 = 3"
b) 6 x the diameter of the long bar = 6 x 0.75" = 4.5"
Therefore the controlling maximum tie spacing is 3"
