CHECK SHEAR CAPACITY

THE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT RATIOS ARE GIVEN BY ACI 318-02 SECTION 21.7.2.1 AND SECTION 14.3 AS
(rn )min. = 0.0025 [ for Acv (fc')0.5 = 323.34 kips < Vu , and bar size #5 horizontal]
(rV )min. =
0.0025 [ for Acv (fc')0.5 = 323.34 kips < Vu , and bar size #5 horizontal]
where Acv = 5903 in2 (gross area of concrete section bounded by web thickness and length in the shear direction)
THE PROVIDED REINFORCEMENT RATIOS ARE
rn = 0.0029 > (rn )min. [Satisfactory]
rV = 0.0029 > (rV )min. [Satisfactory]
The proposed spacing is less than the maximum permissible value of 18 in and is satisfactory. Since wall Vu > 2 Acv (fc')0.5 ,
two curtains reinforcement required. (ACI 318-02, Sec.21.7.2.2)
THE DESIGN SHEAR FORCE IS GIVEN BY ACI 318-02 SECTION 21.7.4.1 & 21.7.4.4 AS
fVn =MIN [ f Acv (ac (fc')0.5 + rn fy), f 8 Acv (fc')0.5 ] = 998.01 kips > Vu [Satisfactory]
where f = 0.6
ac = 2.0 ( for hw / L = 3.59 >2)
rV > rn [Satisfactory] (only for hw / L > 2.0, ACI 318-02 Sec. 21.7.4.3)
CHECK FLEXURAL & AXIAL CAPACITY
THE MAXIMUN DESIGN AXIAL LOAD STRENGTH, ACI 318-02, Sec. 21.7.5.1 & Eq.(10-2), IS
f Pmax =0.8 f [ 0.85 fc' (Ag - Ast) + fy Ast] =
12445 kips.
where f =
0.65 (ACI 318-02, Sec.9.3.2.2)
Ag = 7663 in2.
Ast = 76.43 in2.
THE DESIGN MOMENT CAPACITY AT MAXIMUM AXIAL LOAD STRENGTH ARE FROM 0 TO 26855 ft-kips.

FOR THE BALANCED STRAIN CONDITION UNDER COMBINED FLEXURE AND AXIAL LOAD, THE MAXIMUM STRAIN IN THE CONCRETE
AND IN THE TENSION REINFORCEMENT MUST SIMULTANEOUSLY REACH THE VALUES SPECIFIED IN ACI 318-02 SEC. 10.3.2

AS ec = 0.003 AND es = fy / Es = 0.002069 . THE DEPTH TO THE NEUTRAL AXIS AND EQUIVALENT RECTANGULAR CONCRETE
STRESS BLOCK ARE GIVEN BY

Cb = d ec / (ec + es) = 182 in a = Cb b1 = 155 in

where d = (L-0.5D) = 308 in b1 = 0.85 ( ACI 318-02, Sec. 10.2.7.3 )
THE DESIGN AXIAL AND MOMENT CAPACITIES AT THE BALANCED STRAIN CONDITION ARE 6106 kips AND 74827 ft-kips.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACI SEC. 9.3.2 THE DESIGN MOMENT CAPACITY WITHOUT AXIAL LOAD IS f Mn = 0.9 Mn = 53301 kips.
AT AN AXIAL LOAD OF (0.1 fc' Ag ) THE STRENGTH REDUCTION FACTOR f REDUCES TO 0.65 AND USING THIS VALUES GIVES
A DESIGN MOMENT CAPACITY 63377 ft-kips.

SUMMARY OF LOAD VERSUS MOMENT CAPACITIES ARE SHOWN IN THE TABLE BELOW, AND THEY ARE PLOTTED
ON THE INTERACTION DIAGRAM ABOVE.
f Pn (kips) f Mn (ft-kips)
AT AXIAL LOAD ONLY = 12445 0
AT MAXIMUM LOAD = 12445 26855
AT 0 % TENSION = 10845 40825
AT 25 % TENSION = 9312 54623
AT 50 % TENSION = 8070 63493
AT BALANCED STRAIN CONDITION = 6106 74827
AT AXIAL LOAD OF( 0.1 fc' Ag ) = 2299 63377
AT FLEXURE ONLY = 0 53301

THE DESIGN FORCES Pu & Mu ARE ALSO PLOTTED ON THE INTERACTION DIAGRAM. FROM THE INTERACTION DIAGRAM,
THE ALLOWABLE MOMENT AT AN AXIAL LOAD Pu IS
f Mn = 66704 kips. > Mu [Satisfactory]
where f = MAX[0.9 - 0.25Pu / MIN(fPb , 0.1fc'Ag) , 0.65] = 0.84 (ACI 318-02 Sec. 9.3.2.2)

CHECK BOUNDARY ZONE REQUIREMENTS

AN EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISION OF BOUNDARY ZONE CONFINEMENT REINFORCEMENT IS GIVEN BY ACI SECTION 21.7.6.2,
21.7.6.3, and 21.7.6.5(a) PROVIDED THAT
c < (L hw) / (600 du) and fc < 0.2 fc' [Unsatisfactory]
where c = 37 in. ( distance from the extreme compression fiber to neutral axis at Pu & Mn loads. )
du = 8.2 in. ( design displacement, assume 0.007hw as a conservative short cut, see ACI 318-02 Sec. 21.7.6.2a. )
fc = (Pu / A) + (Mu y / I ) = 1.246 ksi. ( the maximun extreme fiber compressive stress at Pu & Mu loads. )
y = 164 in. ( distance from the extreme compression fiber to neutral axis at Pu & Mu loads. )
A = 8373 in2. ( area of transformed section. )
I = 95995326 in4. ( moment of inertia of transformed section. )
And the longitudinal reinforcement ratio at the wall end = 0.020 > 400 / fy [Unsatisfactory]
HENCE SPECIAL BOUNDARY ZONE DETAILING REQUIRED !
The boundary element length = MAX( c-0.1L, 0.5c ) = 18.32 in. ( ACI 318-02, Sec. 21.7.6.4 )
The maximum hoop spacing = MIN[ B/4 , 6db , 6 , 4+(14-hx)/3 ] = 6 in.o.c. ( ACI 318-02, Sec. 21.4.4.2 & 21.7.6.5a )
The required hoop reinforcement Ash, B DIR = (0.09 s hc fc' ) / fyh = 0.246 in2. < # 5 provided [Satisfactory]
( ACI 318-02, Eq.21-4 ) Ash, L DIR = (0.09 s hc fc' ) / fyh = 0.256 in2. < # 5 provided [Satisfactory]
