Shearwall reinforcement detail - Non seismic region
Shearwall reinforcement detail - Non seismic region
(OP)
Dear All
Typically the vertical bars will be inside (far face) and horizontal bars outiside (near feace) in load bearing walls, horizontal bars provide concrete confinement.
Any one has come across the detail vice versa, i.e., vertical bars outside and horizontal bars inside.

RE: Shearwall reinforcement detail - Non seismic region
I am curious to see if others have had this experience. The only reason I would think the vertical bars are being forced to be the outside layer is if there is out-of-plane bending on the wall (from it being a shear wall and a facade wall).
