Thickness of wall (b w ) = Height of wall in one floor/15 (HereHeight of wall in one floor = 5000 mm ) Thickness of wall (bw) = 333.33 say 350 CHECK REQUIREMENT OF BOUNDARY ELEMENTS Case No 1 : Requirement based on Displacement c > l w / 600 ( w /h w ) Or c > 0.238 l w Case No 2 : Requirement based on Stress Level Max Compressive Stress =[ (P u /A g ) + (M u y max /I g ) ] > 0.2 fc' Here Pu 2000 kN lw bw Ag Mu ymax 5000 350 1.75 5000 2.5 mm mm m2 kN-m m

So atleast 2 curtains of reinforcement are required in wall No of curtains of reinforcement provided in wall = 2 DESIGN HORIZONTAL SHEAR REINFORCEMENT If V u > 0.083 Acv .(fc')0.5 , the distributed minimum web reinforcement ratios

( l ) min = ( t ) min = 0.0025


As 0.083 *Acv*(fc') = Vu = 726.25 kN > 1600 kN So( t )min= 0.0025 and Max reinforcement spacing in each direction Smax= 450mm So (l)min = (t)min = 0.0025 mm2/m Area of steel (As) for 1m height of wall for 1 curtain = 438 try 13 mm bar @ 275 mm. C/C

DESIGN VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT Pu = 2000 Ag * fc' / 10 = 4375 As Pu Ag*fc'/10 So < Design satisfying the requirement of flexural member, So min reinforcement of 1 % not req Use l = 0.0025 Smax = 450 mm 438 mm. C/C mm /m

So As for 1m height of wall for 1 curtain = try 13 mm bar @ 275

mm2 Area of 13 mm reinforcement = 133 Area of Steel furnished = As = Area of one reinforcement Bar (mm2)*1000/Spacing (mm)

here No of bars req Area of one Bar = Spacing of bars = 2 mm /m 483 3.64 133 275 mm mm
