Shear wall in STAAD
Shear wall in STAAD
(OP)
I am using the new concrete shearwall element in STAAD. The manual states that it does not design for out of plane shear. Is this normal? They take into consideration all other forces. Even though shear walls are meant for in-plane shear, i thought this was common practice to design for out of plane shear as well.

You are right to question the design philosophy, I think.
