Shear wall -beam connections
Shear wall -beam connections
(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to design a five story apartment building with a RC moment frame for the vertical load and an RC shear wall for the lateral loads. It has one and and two way slabs on beams. Is it a bad practice to have the beams frame into the shear wall (both in the plane of the wall and perpendicular to it)? If it is ok then where can I find rebar details for the connection?

I don't know of an argument against framing beams into walls. It is done all the time.
