Hi,

Can anybody share an example on concrete wall analysis and design?

Thank you!

ACI has publications on this subject with examples.

Thank you Mike. I really appreciate your time and help.

The wall is for sign on starting from ground elevation. They have minor wind load and no axial dead load.

It is true to use 0.78*b*d^2 (this is for beam) to determine the maximum moment capacity of wall?

RE: Concrete Wall Design

That formula will give you an approximate moment capacity to determine approximate dimensions. You must take into account the actual steel in the wall including placement to determine the actual moment capacity.

It's likely that your wall will be considered slender if there is no restraint at the top, therefore you'll have to account for that (Moment magnifier method or a proper second order analysis).
