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

AIM: -

Run the analysis and design the RCC shear walls.

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.

Provide elevation drawings of the reinforcement details of the shear wall from base up to terrace.

SHEAR WALL DESIGN (A-11)

SECTION CLASSIFICATION AS PER IS 13920

Clause 10.1.2

`t_w`>150mm

`t_w`=250mm > 150mm............O.K.

Clause 10.1.3

`L_w/t_w`>4

`L_w/t_w`=1500/300 >4............O.K.

Clause 10.1.4

`h_w/L_w`=21000/1500

= 14>2

Hence it is Slender Wall

DESIGN OF VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT: -

`A_(v)(req)`= 13128 mm`

=`13128/((pi*25^2)/4)`

Provide 28 no's 25mm diameter bars

SPACING: -

Clause 10.1.9

a) 1/5*(1500) = 300mm

b) 3*300 = 900mm

c) 450mm

Spacing= (1500-60-8-8)/13

= 109.5mm

Provide 28 no's 25mm diameter bars at 110mm c/c spacing.

DESIGN OF HORIZONTAL REINFORCEMENT: -

`A_(st)(prov)` = 0.0025*300*1000

= 750mm2

Provide 10mm diameter bars

SPACING: -

a) 1/5*(1500) = 300mm

b) 3*300 = 900mm

c) 450mm

Sv = `(a_t*1000)/A_(h)`

= `(78.5*2*1000)/750`

= 209mm

Provide 200mm spacing.

Hence Provide 10mm diameter bars at 200mm spacing c/c.

BOUNDARY ELEMENT: -

`0.2f_(ck)`= 0.2*25

= 5 MPa

Comp stress > Stress Limit

Then Boundary Element shall be provided.

CONFINING REINFORCEMENT: -

Clause 10.4.4

`A_(sh)= 0.05*150*1000*(25/415)`

= 452mm2

Provide 8mm diameter bars

SPACING: -

provide spacing of 100 mm c/c

Hence Provide 8mm diameter bars at spacing 100mm c/c.

RESULT: -

  • Ran the analysis and designed the RCC shear walls.

  • Extracted values of longitudinal steel ratio, boundary element length and shear reinforcing ratio from the design results.

  • Provided cross sectional steel arrangement of the shear wall from its base up to terrace, in compliance with provisions of IS 13920 – 2016.

  • Provided elevation drawings of the reinforcement details of the shear wall from base up to terrace.
