Shear wall -beam connections 2

[jp6637]

Hi,
I'm trying to design a five story apartment building with a RC moment frame for the vertical load and an RC shear wall for the lateral loads. It has one and and two way slabs on beams. Is it a bad practice to have the beams frame into the shear wall (both in the plane of the wall and perpendicular to it)? If it is ok then where can I find rebar details for the connection?

Did you intend to post a picture? Your link goes to the reply screen.

I don't know of an argument against framing beams into walls. It is done all the time.

No, I made a mistake, there is no picture

Just make sure the shearwall steel is continuous through the wall. Might get kinda tight, so a good detail of placement will be needed. In plane condition will be the worst case here.
