Seismic Detailing of Special Shear Walls and Coupling Beams by ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-14
This seminar illustrates and discusses the detailing requirements for special shear walls and coupling beams of concrete. It is designed to be helpful in understanding the detailing rules and their proper application. The following topics are included:
- Design for shear and design for flexure and axial loads
- The importance of specially confined boundary zones and how they enhance shear wall performance
- The two different approaches to determining the need for special boundary elements and which one is to be used for a given situation
- Detailing requirements for coupling beams and difficulties of confining diagonal reinforcement
- Provisions, first added in ACI 318-08, which make coupling beam detailing much easier
- Important requirements concerning wall piers
- Important changes in shear wall detailing requirements from ACI 318-11 to ACI 318-14. This web seminar also include three question-and-answer periods
