Shear strength of slab wall connection
Shear strength of slab wall connection
(OP)
How do you guys calculate critical section of a flat slab for shear strength around uncoupled shear wall?
If the lateral resisting system is not relaying on coupling composite effect of shear wall - flat slab (no load reversal) . Do I still have to use a stringent critical section similar to attached picture?
How about shear distribution due to an unbalanced moment at a slab-
wall connection? can this be treated as edge column?
Thanks.

The structure that I'm dealing with is in non-seismic area and as hokie stated above the shear walls are sized to resist all lateral forces without coupling effect.
My question is how to deal with the concentration of shear stress at edge of shear wall due to unbalanced load?
Hokie66,
If you say that only beam shear due to gravity load is to be checked at wall support. How do you deal with the variation of shear stress along the length of shear wall? (see attached picture) Shear stress at the inner edge of the wall will be higher as compare to the outer edge.
So do we consider edge of the wall as column and check punching shear? If so what is the critical section?
Slickdeal, thanks

Yes Feynman, could be an idiot, after all he help formulate a nuclear bomb.
