are commonly used in structures to resist the
effects of gravity Joads and story shears due to
wind or earthquake forces.
This paper summarizes background material
for Section 11.16, Special Provisions for Walls, of
the 1971 ACI Building Code.’ The provisions are
intended to ensure adequate shear strength. How-
ever, other considerations such as flexural
strength, energy absorption, lateral stiffness and
reinforcement details are equally important to
obtain: satisfactory structural performance.
‘There has been relatively little research on
the strength and behavior of shear walls. Inves-
tigators in Japan? have been concerned primarily
with the strength of low-rise shear walls sur-
rounded by a reinforced concrete or steel frame
and subjected to load reversals.
Japanese snear wall design provisions are
described in the Standards for Calculation of Re-
inforced Concrete Structures* They are based
‘on the philosophy that the entire shear force is
to be carried by reinforcement, when a certain
limiting concrete shear stress is exceeded.
In the early’ 1950's, Benjamin and Williams,
at dhe Univ £
five static tests en low-rise chear walls surroxncied
by a reinforced concrete frame, ‘Theit proposed
design equations* had limited practical use due to
restrictions in their applicability. An extension
of this investigation, dealing with dynamic loads,
was conducted by Antebi, Utku and Hansen at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dy-
namie loads simulated were those due to blast
from atomic weapons rather than earthquakes.
Prior to publication of ACI 318-71, the only
provisions for design of shear walls in the United
States were those contained in Uniform Building
Code™

the concrete, or by the conerete and the horizontal
reinforcement.
The nominal permissible shear stress carried by
the conerete, v., on shear walls with low h,/le
ratios is assumed similar to that in deep beams.
It is taken as the straight-line lower bound of
results of shear tests on deep beams without web
reinforcement reported by dePaiva and Siess.
‘This shear stress is limited to 5.46 for walls
With Rv/le Fatios of L0 or less. For it./l, ratios of
27 or more, vis taken equal to 24 fi, the value
recommended for reinforced concrete beams in

Shear stress carried by the reinforcement is

ing wed reinforcement reported by Slater, Lord
and Zipprodt as well as those reported by de-
Paiva and Siess.? Based on these tests, it is as-
sumed that vertical or horizontal web reinforce-
ment in shear walls with h,/l, ratios of 1.0 or less
does not appreciably increase the value of v,
above that of v, attributed to the concrete, Conse-
quently, their total shear stress is limited to 5.44
Vie. Shear walls with he/be ratios of 2.0 or more
are considered to behave as beams. Total design
shear stress for these walls is taken equal to 10g
Viv, as recommended in ACI 318-63.
While the UBC provisions represented an ad-
vancement in design, additional work, including
that by Crist," Leonhardt and Walther, Cardenas
and Magitsa™” aad Cardenas," has led to separate
provisions for deep beams and shear walls in
Chapter 11 of ACT 318-71! These provisions rec-
ognize that there are important differences be-
222
tween deep beams and shear walls. First, deep
beams are usually loaded through the extreme
fibers in compression. Under these conditions,
shear carried by the concrete in a member with-
out web reinforcement is greater than the shear
causing diagonal tension cracking. Shear walls,
however, are deep members loaded through stubs
or diaphragms. This type of member, if it does not
contain web reinforcement, may fail at a shear
equal to or only slightly greater than the shear
causing diagonal cracking’ Second.-deep beams
are not usually subjected to axial loads. whereas
the consideration of axial compression or tension
may be important in shear walls,
Recognizing the limitations of the existing in-
formation on the strength of shear walls, the
Portland Cement Association started an. experi-
mental investigation in 1968. The highlights of this
investigation are described in the Appendix.

compression, «= 0 and «= 0.25, The comparison
shows that for the case of pure bending, a= 0;
Eq. (2) is in good agreement with the more rigor-
ous Eq. (1). In the case of a rather large axial
compression, «= 0.25, the greatest difference is
about 5 percent. Accordingly, the use of the sim-
plified Eq. (2) appears adequate for practical de-
sign.
Shear strength
‘The distribution of lateral loads on shear walls
varies with their height." For example, under
a lateral wind loading, this distribution may vary
from nearly uniform on a wall in a tall building
to a single concentrated force on a wall in a low
building. Differences in lateral load distribution,
geometry, and wall proportions lead to conditions
that may make shear strength the controlling eti-
terion in the design of low-rise shear walls.
‘As pointed out in the report of ACI-ASCE Com-
mittee 326(426), Shear and Diagonal Tension,”
American design practice is based on the premise
that shear capacity of concrete beams is made up
of two parts. One part is the shear carried by con
crete, and the other part is the shear carried by
web reinforcement. Furthermore, these two parts
are considered to be independent, so that web
reinforcement is required only for that portion
of the total shear that exceeds the limit of the
shear carried by the concrete,
With the adoption of ACI 318-63, an additional
premise became inherent in the shear design
provisions. This premise is that the shear carried
by the conerete is equal to the shear causing sig-
nificant inclined cracking. This last assumption
underscores the importance of the cracking shear.

Shear carried by concrete
It is generally recognized that inclined crack~
ing in concrete beams is of two types. In recent
years, these types of cracks have been descriced
as either “web-shear” or “flexure-shear.” The way
in which these cracks develop in reinforced and
prestressed conerete beams has been described in
detail elsewhere."
‘The provisions of ACI 318-71 use Eq. (11-4) fo
computing the shear causing flexure-shear crack:
ing in a reinforced concrete member. The limiting
value of 3.5 Vf? for Eq, (11-4) serves as a meas.
ure of the shear causing web-shear cracking. In‘)
prestressed concrete beams, the shear causing
flexure-shear or web-shear cracking is computed
from Eq, (11-11) or (11-12), respectively. Eq. (11

It is important to recognize that Eq. (I1-11) for
prestressed conerete beams is applicable to rein-
forced concrete beams subject to axial compres-
sion. However, the results would be expected to

to transform an initiating flexural crack into a

Web-shear cracking would be expected in a

of the concrete, In an uneracked rectangular sec-

Eq. (6), which is the same as Eq, (11-32) in ACI
318-71, will apply to most low-rise shear walls. In
cases where the axial load, N,, is small, the equa-
tion reduces to v= 33 V7? Limitations due to
the assumption of d= 0.6L, are discussed later.
Plexure-shear cracking occurs when a flexural
crack, because of the presence of shear, turns and
becomes inclined in the direction of increasing
moment. It is assumed that the flexure-shear
cracking strength of a shear wall may be taken
equal to the shear from a loading producing a
24 7
flexural tensile stress of 6-V Jv at a section located
a distance 1/2 above the section being investigat-
ed. For shear walls, an expression for the value
of nominal shear stress expected to cause flexure-
shear inclined eracking is Eq. (11-33) of ACI 318-

Eq. (6) or (7). However, the value of v, need not
be taken less than corresponding values for rein-
forced concrete beams. Therefore, ». may be taken

strength of concrete beams has traditionally been

member. In shear walls, the specified minimum

Defi
ition of nominal shear stress
Ini the design provisions, nominal shear stress
is used as a measure of shear strength. Nominal

In shear walls, the effective depth, d, depends
mainly on the amount and distribution of vertical
reinforcement. Fig, 5 shows the variation of the
effective depth with these variables. The value
of d=08le is also shown in Fig, 6. This value is

Limitation on ul

‘A limitation on ultimate shear stress is gen-
erally considered to represent failure due to
rushing of concrete “struts” in beam webs.

Timited the nominal ultimate shear stress to
10 Vf. There is some indication that the shear
strength of a beam without web reinforeer:ent
may decrease with increasing depth. Other tests!
fon beams with low afd ratios indicate that the
limiting shear stress may be less than 10YF7.
However, the tests reported in this paper indicate
that shear stresses up to 1077 can be attained
in walls with web reinforcement, even under load
reversals. Attainment of shear stresses of this
magnitude requires careful reinforcement de-
tailing.

ment. The PCA test result marked with an R
corresponds to the specimen subject to load re-
versals. Comparison of measured and calculated
strengths in Fig. 6 indicates that the design pro-
visions are satisfactory.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
In the development of design provisions for
shear walls, the main emphasis was on evaluation
226
of flexural and-shear strength under static load-
ings, However, considerations of energy absorp-
tion, where earthquake resistance is required, and
lateral stiffness are also important factors in-
fluencing the behavior of walls. Properly detailed
reinforcement is also essential to obtain satisfac.
tory performance.
Based on results of a recent investigation,382
Paulay has indicated that energy absorption and
stiffness characteristics of a wall may be signifi-
cantly improved if the shear reinforcement does
not yield when the wall reaches jts flexural ca-
pacity. The apparent reason for this is that the
widths of the inclined cracks are restrained,
thereby maintaining aggregate interlock across
the erack, and doweling action of the main rein-
forcement. Paulay has suggested that the total
shear in a wall subject to load reversals should
be taken by shear reinforcement. This requirement
appears reasonable where great energy absorp-
Tn eases where high ductilt La
may be the case in spandrels ‘or piers, it may
be desirable to physically divide the wall into
two ar mara parts as suggested by Muto." This
‘would have the effect of substantially increasing
the M/V ratio of the wall elements thereby mak-
ing flexure the predominant consideration, In
any case, it is desicable to provide shear strength
capacity in excess of the flexural strength.
‘The importance of careful detailing of shear
walls must be emphasized. From experience, many
researchers have found it is sometimes difficult
to apply very large concentrated loads to walls,
without experiencing local failures.
The possibility of tension in unexpected loca-
tions should also be given careful consideration,
When beam action begins to break down due to
the formation and growth of inclined cracks, par-
ticularly in deep members, the steel stress at the
intersection of the inclined cracking and the flex-
ural reinforcement tends to be controlled by the
moment at a section through the apex of the in-
clined cracking. These stresses can be quite di
ferent from those calculated on the basis of the
moment at a section through the lower extremity
of the crack. Consequently, adequate anchorage of
main reinforcement at force application points is
essential.
CONCLUSIONS
Resntts of tests summarizs4 in this paper indi.
cate that flexural strength, as well as shear
strength, must be considered in an evaluation
of the load-carrying capacity of a shear wall. For
use in design, the flexural strength of shear
walls with height to depth ratios, he/le, of 1.0 or
more can be satisfactorily predicted using Section
‘ACT JOURNAL / MARCH 1973502, Assumptions, of ACI 318-71, Equations for
determining the design flexural capacity of rec
tangular walls with uniformly distributed vertical
reinforcement are presented in this paper.
For use in design, the shear strength of walls
can be satisfactorily predicted using Section 11.16,
Special Provisions for Walls, ACI 318-71
{in the design of shear walls, considerations such
as energy absorption, lateral stiffness, and detail-
ing of reinforcement need special attention.

APPENDIX
PCA investigation
In this investigation, thirteen Jarge rectangular shear
wall specimens thave been tested under static combi
nations of axial Toad, bending, and shear, Si of the
specimens, SW-1 through SW-6, represented walls in
igh-rise “buildings.” The remaining seven, SW-7
through SW-13, represented walls in low-rise buildings,
‘One of the low-rise shear walls, SW-12, was subjected
to ten eycles of load reversals.
All test specimens were rectangular veinforced con-
rete members with 2 thickness h=3 in, (7.92 om) and
@ depth lo = 6 ft 3 in. (1.90 m). For convenience, the
specimens were tested as horizontal cantilevered beams
Ie Susshiag the specimens, reference is
always made to the pasition of a wall in an actual
buslding rather than its position ducing testing. Fig. Al
shows the test setup for one of the high-rise walls,
Loading rods extending through the test floor were used
to apply the simulated static Interal forces. Post~
tensioning rods, running horizontally in the photo, were
used to apply the simulated geavity loads, The portion
of the specimen to the right of the support represents
a foundation providing full restraint to the base of the
wall
Shear wall specimens SW-1 through SW-6 represent
the lower portion of a shear wall in a {rame-shear wall
structural system.2h°1 The height of the specimen eor-
responds to the distance hetween the base of the wall
and its point of contraflexure, It was assumed that 50
pereent of the total shear force at the base of the wall
would be applied at the point of eontraflexure, ‘The
remaining 50 percent was uniformly distributled bee
tween the point of contrafiexure and the base of the
wall.
Four of the six high-rise shear wall specimens SW=t,
SW-2, SW-3 and SW-6 had a height of 21 ft (6.40 m),
the other two, SW-4 and SW-5, were 12 & (4.09 m)

(205 kgf/cm?) was applied. The main variable was

Comparisons of SW-8 with SW-1, and SW-9 with SW-
12, show that the lateral load carrying cepacity also
increases with vertical web reinforcement. However,
these observations are qualified somewhat by the ob-
servation that specimens SW-9, SW-11 and SW-12 did
not fail in shear. In addition, at failure there was
yielding of the vertical reinforcement in all of these
