I have an 8" thick concrete wall where I am having problems getting the shear to work. The shear is out of plan of the wall. My Vu is greater than 1/2 Phi Vc, however Vu is less than Phi Vc.
Based on what I can determine, it appears I need to provide shear reinforcement. Any ideas? I was thinking of a #3 bar stirrup horizontal around the vertical reinforcing. Is this correct? It apears that 6" oc spacing is the minimum based on a 5.625" d dimension.
