Check the assumed depth for shear requirements. The concrete cover in footings = 3 in.,
and assume #8 bars, then d = 20 in. –3.5 in. = 16.5 in. The critical section for one-way
shear is at a distance d from the face of the wall:

Percentage of shrinkage reinforcement = 0.002. Therefore, use = 0.00669 is calculated
which is greater than the minimum and the ACI Code section (10.5.3) on shrinkage.
