Challenge

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

Aim:

To run the anlaysis and design the RCC Shear walls for the given ETABS model.
To extract the values of longitudinal steel ratio, boundary element length and shear reinforcing ratio from the design results.
To provide the cross sectional steel arrangement of shear wall up to terrace with provisions of IS13920-2016
To provide elevation drawings of reinforcement details of the shear wall from base 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.
Shear walls are not only designed to resist gravity / vertical loads, but they are also designed for lateral loads of earthquakes/wind.

Procedure:

Start Design/check

Longitudinal reinforcement values:

Shear reinforcement values:

Edge/Boundary zone width:

All three values:

Shear wall calculations from base till roof:

First floor to Second floor:

Second floor to Roof:

Result:

Provided the 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. AutoCAD
Designed the RCC shear wall using the design results from ETABS file.
Provide elevation drawings of the reinforcement details of the shear wall from base up to terrace.
