ACI 350 Calculation

This document provides calculations to design the reinforcement for a concrete wall. It includes the wall dimensions, material properties, load information, and calculations to determine the required steel reinforcement. The calculations show the steel reinforcement ratio (ρ) needed is 0.0034 to satisfy the minimum requirements. The provided steel area (Asp) of 0.902 in^2 results in a reinforcement ratio (ρp) of 0.0037, demonstrating this is a tension controlled section. The factored moment capacity (φMn) of 81.069 kip-ft exceeds the factored applied moment (Mu) of 70.046 kip-ft.
