RE: shear wall reinfocement
Either way, ACI 318-99 should not be used as it is not referenced by the earlier UBC 97.
But in ACI - see section 11.10 for shear reinforcing of walls. Specifically see 11.10.2 which refers you to Equations (11-1) and (11-2), sections 11.10.5, 11.10.6 and 11.10.9.
Hope this helps.
