It appears that the minimum wall thickness (1/30) requirement for nonbearing walls in Section 14.6.1 of ACI318-05 is for wall designed by Empirical Design Method only (14.5), because there is no thickness limit if the wall is designed by Section 14.4 or 14.8. Can anyone confirm this and/or provide some background information?
If this is true, Section 14.6.1 should be 14.5.3.3 to make sense.
