CONCRETE SHEARWALL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SPREADSHEET
Based on 2019 ACI 318 Special Concrete Shear Wall Design Integrated With ASCE 7 -22 Seismic Provisions
MAIN SPREADSHEETS (Click to see the sample) are EXCEL files with following features:
-
Calculate deflections of multi story reinforced concrete prismatic walls
-
for walls with or without enlarged ends, symmetric or unsymmetrical
-
Bending and shear demand/capacity checking under maximum or minimum axial load including vertical seismic forces
-
Strain and Strength reduction factors determination
-
Determine required boundary element dimensions and reinforcement based on wall inelastic displacement
-
Calculate Omega and Strength reduction factors for shear demand/capacity ratio determination
The input block and the intermediate calculations of the main spreadsheet are not locked so it can be modified to the user's need.
The spreadsheet can be extended for high rise building multi story walls.

COMPANION SPREADSHEETS are for non-prismatic walls where users can input wall deflections from other programs, such as ETABS, RISA. This spreadsheet can be used for any number of story.
The main assumptions, input description, example problem verification and graphical details, and a summary of shear wall design requirements are included in the package. Easy input with drop down feature and guidelines on required input are provided through validation box. Different cell colors are used to indicate acceptable and under design conditions, as well as warnings.
