Boundary elements in the ordinary shear wall
Boundary elements in the ordinary shear wall
(OP)
Dear all
as per ACI318 the special boundary elements are required if the max. Extreme fiber stress exceeds 0.2fc in the special structural walls in case of SDC D or more ,my question is if my building in SDC LESS than D and i used ordinary shear wall,should i use boundary elements as well if the extreme fiber stress more than 0.2fc or only this condition for special wall ?
