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

AIM.......................,,,,,,,,,,,..

1. To run the analysis and design the RCC shear walls shown in the ETABS model.
2. To Extract values of longitudinal steel ratio, boundary element length and shear reinforcing ratio from the design results.
3. To tProvide cross sectional steel arrangement of the shear wall from its base up to terrace.
4. Using AutoCAD application for this exercise or Alternatively, it can be drawn by hand as well.
5. To provide elevation drawings of the reinforcement details of the shear wall from base up to terrace.

INTRODUCTION...................

• Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system.
• They are constructed to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure.
• When shear walls are designed and constructed properly, and they will have the strength and stiffness to resist the horizontal forces.
• Shear walls are especially important in high-rise buildings subjected to lateral wind and seismic forces.

Step 1-

1) Open the ETABS file

2) After the analysis click Concrete frame design

Step 2=...

1) Need to check there is any failures occurs

2) Click Shear wall design tool

3) select Display info and choose PM failure

Step 3=...

1) Click any wall and check the details

2) Here there is no failure occurs all the values of reinforcement ratio is within 4%

Step 4=...

Shear Reinforcing

1) Go to concrete frame design

2) Click Display design info

3) Choose Shear reinforcing

Step 5=...

Boundary element width

1) Go to concrete frame design

2) Click Display design info

3) Choose Pier edge or boundary zone width

Step 6=

Longitudinal Reinforcement:

1) Go to concrete frame design

2) Click Display design info

3) Choose Pier longitudinal reinforcing
