Analysis & Design of RCC shear walls in the model using ETABS

AIM:

  • In the etabs file for a G+6 building that is provided. Run the analysis and design the RCC shear wall of size 300x1500 at grid A-11 in the structural model.
  • Extract values of longitudinal steel ratio, boundary element length and shear reinforcing ratio from the design results.
  • Provide cross sectional steel arrangement of the shear wall from its base up to terrace, in compliance with provisions of IS 13920 – 2016. AutoCAD application can be used for this exercise. Alternatively, it can be drawn by hand as well.
  • Provide elevation drawings of the reinforcement details of the shear wall from base up to terrace.

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1:

  • Open the provided ETabs file.

  • Open the Plan view and locate the required shear wall.
  • Select All stories option and then select the shear wall.
  • Right click the shear wall-> Show selected objects only.

  • Select Elevation view and set the view along Grid-11.

STEP 2:

  • Run analysis.
  • Click on the shear wall design icon.
  • Once the analysis is complete toggle through the required Design details by clicking on Shear wall design Dropdown-> Display Design info.
  • Change the Design output to display the required output.

Detailing Guidelines for shear wall:

  • Classification of Shear wall as per IS-13920-2016 clause 10.1.4: hw/lw = 21000/1500= 14>2 -

Slender wall

Minimum net Vertical reinforcement as per IS 13920:2016 Clause 26.5.1.6 Table-1 -

2363 mm^2.

  • Minimum vertical reinforcement within boundary element Table-1 (iii) -

1440 mm^2 on left(600mm width boundary element)

1080 mm^2 on right(450mm width boundary element)

  • Minimum horizontal reinforcement in shear wall as per IS-13920-2016 Table-1 (iii)-

ph(min)= 750 mm^2/m

  • Maximum diameter of rebar for shear wall as per IS-13920-2016 clause 10.1.8- 1/10th of wall thickness =

30mm, 25mm rebar is adopted

  • Confining reinforcement spacing for boundary element as per IS-13920-2016 clause 10.4.4 -

Maximum spacing of confining reinforcement in boundary element 150mm.

  • Confining reinforcement spacing within boundary element as per IS-13920-2016 clause 10.4.4 -

Ash= 452mm^2
