hi just like to inquire some insight pertaining to wall out of plane shear.
Based on ACI 318-08, out of plane shear shall be design same as slab and footing ( ACI318-08 11.9.1) where Vc is calculated based on the perimeter of it's critical section for shear, using STAAD plate analysis I would be able to get the SQY and SQX. SRSS the two, will give me the ultimate shear (Vu).
My question is, what perimeter should i be using? would it be the dimension of the plate?
