Shear Wall with Opening
Shear Wall with Opening
(OP)
Hello,
Existing Single story Concrete shear wall is 80'-0" Long and 36'-0" High. Now we need to add 12'-0"x12'-0" Opening in to this existing wall.
I am looking for any referances/thoughts on how to analysis it.
I am thinking to provide steel tube frame (Col-Beam) around the new opening.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Regards,
AbhijitM

1. the overall cantilver bending of the wall, and
2. the shear beanding at the opening(fixed one end and fixed roller the other).
Have you considered vertical load transfer to the supports?
