RC load-bearing wall supporting a RC beam (with corbel)

Hi, this is a similar question to my previous thread.

The RC load-bearing walls are supporting a RC beam via corbels. The width of corbel will be significantly smaller than the length of wall on plan. Because the beam end-shear is transferred via the corbel, the action point will have offset from wall center line, and thus I have assumed that bending moment will be induced on the weak axis of the wall.

My question is, what would be the appropriate section of wall to be adopted to design? Say the wall is 3000mm-long and 250mm-thick, while the corbel width is 300mm, could I adopt the wall section 3000mm × 250mm to design to resist the bending moment and axial compression due to beam end-shear?

Greatly appreciated if you could point me to some clauses of codes. Many thanks in advance.
