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

Aim: To analysis and design of Rcc shear wall in the model using ETAB.

software that i used-ETAB

Step by step procedure

open etab software

click open option in the interface.

open the attched file.

before going to design the shear wall.

we need to do checks.

plan irregulary---no

so center of mass is closer to center of stiffness.

assign the pier labels.

after the analysis

axial load ratio should be less than 0.28fck.

shear walls should take 70-80% of base shear force.

minimum 1.5-2% of total floor area for caluculating amount of shear wall.

click on the shear wall design.

drop down the wall design.

click on the display design info.

click on the pier longitudinal reinforcement.

horizontal reinforcement

boundary element length

boundary element details

Before going to reinforcement detailing we need ensure this things. cross check with Etab reinforecement details.

  • classification of shear wall as per Is13920 -2016 (clause 10.1.4)

hw/lw=21000/1500=14>2----------slender wall.

  • minimum net vertical reinforcement as per IS 13920-2016

=0.0025+0.01375(300/1500)

=5.25x10^-3

minimum reinforcement=steel ratio xc/s

=5.25x10^-3 x1500x300

=2362.5 lets take it as

=2363 mm2

minimum vertical reinforcement with in boundary element

=0.0080x1050x300

=2520 mm2

on left boundary element -1440 mm2

on right boundary element-1040 mm2

minimum shear reinforcement in shear wall

=0.0025+0.5((21000/1500)-2)(0)

=0.0025

minimum horizontal reinforcement

0.0025x 1000x300

=750 mm2

  • shear reinforcement for boundary elements

Ash=0.05 x150x1000x(25/415)

=451.8 mm2

=452 mm2

etab result statify the provisions

maximum flexural reinforcement is 13128 (demand)

((3.14 x 25^2)/0.25)x28

13744.46 mm2(capacity)

hence ok

shear reinforcement is 750 mm2.

after knowing the vertical and horizontal reinforcement we need to maintain standards

  • maximum diameter of rebar for shear wall as per IS 13920 -2016(clause10.1.8)

1/10 x 300= 30 mm

but 30mm rebar not available in market go to 25 mm bar.

  • maximum spacing vertical and horizontal reinforcement

I have chosen 250 mm spacing

  • for boundary element confining spacing

i have choosen 125 mm spacing.

after getting all details i drawn the reinforcement of shear wall details in auto cad.

Result: I have analyzed and designed of Rcc shear wall in the model using ETAB.
