Dear All,
ACI Cl.No: 10.15 — Transmission of column loads through floor system.
Is this clause also applicable to concrete shearwalls?
Thanks in advance

Now with walls, there is usually not a huge amount of shear but the concept is that you make your weakest link a ductile failure rather than a brittle failure.
Codes are minimum requirements - nothing prohibits you from using 10.15 for walls.
