Concrete shear wall design
Concrete shear wall design
(OP)
I am working on a one story residential concrete structure. This is my first concrete structure and I am looking for a good reference or two to help in my design. I am particulary interested in lateral design of the structure as there are a lot of openings, so the shear wall segments are relatively short in most cases. Any suggestions, on references or on concrete structure design, are appreciated.

Also "Simplified Design of Reinforced concrete Buildings" by PCA is a good overview for simple concrete structures and gives you an idea of how to design buildings with out the aid of a computer (unless you are using 'sway frames' which they don't cover at all, a big disappointment to me).
For earthquake 'research' on lateral systems check out FEMA 451 design examples. It is a large document but they have a section on concrete.
