Shear Wall Design

Transverse reinforcement is required for boundary elements to provide confinement. The document provides input values for the length, width, and height of the boundary element, as well as the steel reinforcement sizes and concrete strength. It calculates the required area of transverse reinforcement for confinement perpendicular and parallel to the wall. The provided transverse reinforcement meets or exceeds the code requirements in both cases.
