compression stress limit in corewall
compression stress limit in corewall
(OP)
hello,
I am checking the compression stresses under ultimate combinations in a corewall according to aci318.
What is the concrete stress compression limit (function of f'c) that should not be exceeded ?
Thank you

You also need to consider the slenderness of the element, particularly when there is a free end of a wall. eg: door openings in a lift or stair core.
In Australia we use strut-tie modelling and check the capacity of the strut using wall design techniques.

Thus I am checking the compression stresses of the wall and would like to verify that it is not exceeded. I verified by hand calculation that it is working but would like to confirm. Therefore I posted the above thread
