I am at present designing a shear wall to take a horizontal point load due to wind loading on the frame. I realise the the load will spread at 45 degress from point load. The load will be in the top left corner of shear wall (applied at its edge) and will in effect spread through the wall at 45 degress. THe wall is 215mm thick (take point load applied at centre), 4.5 kN/mm2 compressive force, 4m high and 2m wide. How do I check whether the wall will be capable of taking a compressive force of 19kN.
