design of RCC wall element for the output of STAAD results
(OP)
I am analysing an RCC shear core wall ( Lift shaft)for
vertical and lateral loads by STAAD. I like to know how to design the element for axial load, Bending moments, shear force in both directions ?

RE: design of RCC wall element for the output of STAAD results
From your STAAD analysis, you will get bending moments and direct forces per metre length at each node of each element. You could resolve these in two perpendicular directions, and then design the reinforcement in these two directions as per your local code of practice. While doing this, remember to add half of the torsional moment Mxy to the bending moment in each direction.
