Seismic shear behaviour of reinforced concrete walls

A brief overview of shear demand and capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) walls is presented in this paper. Proceduregiven in EC8 [1] is analysed and compared to analytical and experimental results. Shear capacity depends on the geometry of wall, amount of reinforcement, its layout and detailing. Besides that, ductility demand of a wall reduces its shear capacity. Existing analytical procedure for shear capacity of RC columns is used to predict shear capacity of walls. It is shown in paper that the same procedure may be used for both walls and columns. Analytical calculations are in good accordance with experimental results.
