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

AIM-

The etabs file for a G+6 building is provided.

Run the analysis and design the RCC shear walls

. The following challenge deals specifically with

the 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.

INTRODUCTION-

A shear wall consist of web and boundry elements

at either side .this boundry elements in shear wall

subjected to alternate compression and tension

when it is subjected to lateral force [EQ]

-HENSE it is necessary to provide special

reinforcement for boundry elements .

is 13920 -2016 provides guidelines on several

aspect of shear wall detailing .

-thickness of wall [clause 10.1.2]

-minimum ratio of wall lenth to thickness [c 10 .1.3]

-largest diameter of longitudinal steel bar [10.1.8]

-maximum spacing of horizontal and vertical reinforcement [10.1.9]

-condition of base of shear wall [10.1.10]

-minimum reinforcement in RC Shear wall [10.1.6]

From clause 10.1.4, walls can be categorised as squat walls,

intermediate walls andf slender walls as given below:

Now the minimum shear reinforcement in boundary

element of RC shear wall can be determined from the formula;

PROCEDURE -

-INTIALLY open etabs model .

-now , go to analysis tab and check model

-after run and analysis .

-once analysis is completed we need to carry out design shear wall option .

-shear wall design > view revise preference .

-now ,we need to start design .

-once ,design is completed go to display design option .

-then checked any failure in design .

-now ,we need to extract certAin values from design

-go to display design info > pier longitudinal reinforcement

-go to display design info > pier reinforcing ration

-go to display design info > pier edge / boundry zone width .

-go to display design info > pier shear reinforcing .

  • Go to display design info --> pier shear reinforcing .

  • Since, we have gathered the necessary information
  • now we need to draft the details of a RC wall in AutoCAD for the wall at A11.

- Shear wall detailing calculations:

-since ,since we have gathered the nessary information ,

now we have gathered the necessary information ,

now we need to draft the RC WALLS ,in autocad

for wall at A 11 .

-SHEAR WALLS DETAILING CALCULATION :

-height of wall is 21000mm

-width of wall is 1500mm

-hense ,ration is obtained as 21000/1500

=14 > 2

so it is consider salender wall .

-maximum diameter of bar that it can be used from is code = 1/10 of thickness of part =30mm

-we take dia of bar as 25mm .

-maximum spacing bar should not exceed minimum of following

a]1/5 x 1500 = 300 mm

b]3x300 =900 mm

c] 450 mm

maximum spacing limited to 300mm

-longitudinal reinforcement ;

-from etabs results maximum longitudinal reinforcement obtained is 13128mm^2

-since we are using 25mm dia bars .

then no . bar required will be 13128 /490 =28 bars .

-but we are providing to additional bars in boundry elements for proper confiment i.e . total 30 longitudinal bars .

-hense total area of reinforment provided is 13720 mm^2

-hense , it is safe

  • `ow, from the code the minimum vertical reinforcement
  • required is 0.0025+0.01375(tw/Lw) =0.00525,
  • i.e 0.00525x300x1500 = 2362.5mm2 which is less than actually provided hence safe`
  • Now, minimum vertical reinforcement to be provided in the boundary region = 0.008 x 1500 x 300 = 3600mm2.
    • The reinforcement provided for boundary element in right side = 4410mm2and
    • At left side = 5390mm2Both are greater than the required value i.e 3600mm2. Hence safe.
  • In the web area the minimum reinforcement provided is 0.0025x1500x300=1125mm2
  • and the provided amount of reinofrcement in web area is 3920mm2.Hence it is safe.

- Horizontal reinforcement:

  • From Etabs results the shear reinforcement amount is obtained as 750mm2.
  • So let us provide 8mm dia bars @ 100 mm c/c,
  • then the provided area of reinforcement will be 1000mm2. hence it is safe.
  • This shear reinforcement can be provided for the entire shear wall.
  • Now, we need to check for boundary element
  • From clause 10.4.4, the shear reinforcement required in the bundary element can be obtained from the eqn
    • Ash is the area of shear reinforcement required per link.
    • Sv - spaing between the shear reinforcement = 100mm
    • h - spacing between the extreme longitudinal reinforcement in the boundary element i.e 600-80=520mm
    • fck = 25N/mm2 and fy = 500N/mm2.
    • Hence it is obtained as Ash =0.05⋅100⋅520⋅25/415= 156mm2this for one link
    • One link has 2 legs hence area of each leg = 156/2=78mm2
    • Hence, we can choose 10mm dia bars for shear reinforcement in the boundary element width
    • whose area is around 78.5mm2. This can be provided at the left side of the wall.
    • Now, in the right side the boundary element width is 450mm2so, h=450-80=370mm.
    • Hence, Ash requirement will be
    • Ash = 0.05⋅100⋅370⋅25/415=111mm2 for each link. Hence, for one leg = 55mm2
    • Hence we can provide 8mm dia bars for shear reinforcement in the boundary element width whose
    • area is around 50mm2. This can be provided at the right side of the wall.
    • That is, for boundary element width special confining reinforcement to be provided is
    • 10mm dia bars @ 100mm c/c at left side BE and 8mm dia bars @100mm c/c BE.

boundry element lenth and shear reinforcing

ratio from design result have been calculated .

of shear wall from base to terrace has also been drafted
