Cantilevered CMU Wall - Tension/Shear Interaction for Vertical Reinforcement?
Cantilevered CMU Wall - Tension/Shear Interaction for Vertical Reinforcement?
(OP)
I'm designing a cantilevered CMU wall (no soil retention) in a high wind region of the US. I've sized my reinforcement for the applied moment due to wind and then I started to think about shear transfer into the footing. Since this is not a load bearing wall, the contribution from friction is negligible and as far as I can see the only way to transfer shear would be through the vertical reinforcement.
I haven't seen any check like this for cantilevered retaining walls, am I missing something?
If so how would I do the check? ACI App D D.7.3?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
