Shear Wall Maximum Rebar
Shear Wall Maximum Rebar
(OP)
The design example and commentary I am using to design a concrete masonry shear wall/pier states, "Tension steel, "As", shall be placed at the ends of the wall such that "As" does not exceed 6% of the area of the masonry cell into which it is placed."
Though this seems reasonable, I cannot find support of this in ACI 530-99. What IS the maximum allowable rebar in a cell for shear walls?
Any comments?
