A structural reinforced concrete shear wall in a 5 story building provides lateral and gravity load resistance for the applied load as shown in the figure below. Design is for shear as well as for combined flexure and axial loads. 3 clear rather than the designed 2 clear.

Shear wall section and assumed reinforcement is investigated after analysis to verify suitability for the applied loads. Wall length 18 ft vertical reinforcement. P l 25 kips. Ordinary shear walls are designed when the sdc is b or c while special shear walls are.
