Hi everyone,
My question is :
I have an existing RC wall with boundary RC columns and I am adding a new RC wall next to it for seismic strengthening purposes. I want to make these two walls as one integrated wall.
How can I find the shear force at the interface between the New wall and the existing wall? I am using dowel bars to connect the new wall to the existing wall.
Also, I am designing a new footing below the new RC wall which is also to be connected to the existing footing below the existing wall. How do i find what are the forces at the interface between the two footings?
