SPREADSHEET FOR CONCRETE SHEARWALL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN BASED ON WALL INELASTIC DISPLACEMENT
& SHEAR OVERSTRENGTH FACTOR
Analysis 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
Spreadsheet Features
- 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.
- 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.
To obtain the spreadsheet, we ask your contribution to our seminar or online training on
Special Concrete Shearwall Design and RCWALLPRO at under-resourced institutions in high seismic regions.
Please contact us for expected contribution and metric unit versions.
