I agree that section 21.5 is for joints, but shear wall section 21.7.2.3 refers to section 21.5.4.
The rebar splice length I want is for a straight bar in a structural wall without boundary elements(no confined core).
I am designing a shear wall (in a high seismic zone), which does not require boundary elements, and have a question about the rebar splice lengths. ACI 318-02 section 21.7.2.3 states section 21.5.4 should be used to determine the splice length. Section 21.5.4 bases development length for a...
