Boundary Elements for Shear Walls
(OP)
How do I get ETABS v9 to design the boundary elements for shear walls? I want concentrated longitudinal steel and transverse reinforcement? Thank you.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Boundary Elements for Shear Walls
What I do after that is proportion the steel to fill the required boundary zone, and minimum steel otherwise; (of course depending on the controlling loading scenario, I might end up packing the segment full of steel..)
Short answer: ETABS is not detailing software, it's analysis software, it's your job to quantify and interpret the FEA results- and to specify reinforcement accordingly.
