PARAMETERS
fc' = 32.0 MPa (concrete compressive stregth)
fy = 460.0 MPa (yeild strength of reinforcement)
Lw = 3000.0 mm ( length of wall)
b = 300.0 mm (thickness of wall)
C = 502.0 mm (neutral axis depth from etabs)
Mu = 2700.0 KN-m (ultimate moment from etabs)
Vu = 450.0 KN (ultimate shear from etabs)
cc = 30 mm (clear concrete cover)
d = 16 mm (size of vertical bars)
dhoop = 10 mm (size of boundary ties/hoop)
ETABS OUTPUT
785.40 mm > 750.0 mm
OK!
BOUNDARY ELEMENT CHECK ( DISPLACEMENT BASE) ( ACI 21.9.6.2 )
Wall not satisfying this requirement in 21.9.6.2 shall be design by 21.9.6.3
equation 21-8
C C Limit
Left top = N/C
Right top = N/C
Left bot = 0.502 < check comp. stress (21.9.6.3)
Right bot = 0.502 < check comp. stress (21.9.6.3)
BOUNDARY ELEMENT CHECK ( STRESS BASE) ( ACI 21.9.6.3 )

Right top = 1555.56 < not required!
Left bot = 7765.56 > boundary element required!

Structural Design Calculation
HEIGHT OF BOUNDARY ELEMENT ( Hb) ( ACI 21.9.6.2b )
The special boundary element reinforcement must extend vertically from the critical section a distance
not less than the larger of Lw or Mu/4Vu.
Lw = 3000.0 mm
Mu/4Vu = 2,700.0 / 4 x 450.0
= 1500.0 mm
Hb = 3000.0 mm
LENGTH OF BOUNDARY ELEMENT ( Lb) ( ACI318-11, section 21.9.6.4a )
The special boundary element reinforcement must extend horizontally from the extreme compression fiber
a distance not less than the larger C-0.1Lw or C/2.
C-0.1Lw = 502.0 - 0.1 x 3,000.0
= 202.0 mm
C/2 = 502.0 / 2
= 251.0 mm
Lb = 251.0 mm
300.0 mm (boundary element length provided)
HOOP REINFORCEMENT (Ash) ( ACI318-11, section 21.6.6.4b )
Ash = 0.09.S. bc. fc'/fy
S = 200.0 mm (spacing of hoops)
bc = 188.0 mm (as per figure)
Hoop minimum reinforcement equals to maximum of ( Ash1 or Ash2)
Ash1 = 0.3.S. bc. fc'/fy ( Ag/Ach -1)
= 0.3x200.0 x 188.0 x 32.0 / 460.0 (( 900,000.0 / 705,600.0- 1))
= 216.2 mm
Ag = 900000.00 mm (gross area of concrete section)
Ach = 705600.00 mm (cross section area of concrete measured from outside
of transverse reinforcement)
Ash2 = 0.09.S. bc. fc'/fy
= 0.09x200.0 x 188.0 x 32.0 / 460.0
= 235.4 mm
Using T10 @ 200mm c/c 3 LEGS
