Hi, I am a graduate engineer and I have some questions regarding the design of RC load-bearing wall.
Suppose a 300mm-thick, 3000mm-long, and 3000mm-high RC wall is supporting one end of a RC beam with 300mm-wide and 600mm-deep section. Under gravity load, the design beam end-shear would be 600kN.
My question is, what would be the appropriate wall section to be adopted to resist the beam end-shear? May I use the 300mm-thick × 3000mm-long?
Additionally, for the below three cases: (1) beam perpendicular to wall and at wall center, (2) beam perpendicular to wall and at wall end, and (3) beam parallel to wall and at wall end, would there be any difference in adopting the “effective” wall section for load-bearing?
I am not entirely familiar with the code provisions (ACI, Eurocode, etc.). So if there is already such mentioning in the codes, please let me know and I will go read it.
Many thanks in advance.
