Per ACI 318-99 Sect. 9.2, Vu at 3rd story = 1.3(11.3 + 22.0 + 21.1)
Vu = 1.3 × 94.8 = 123.2 kips = 70.7 kips
< φVc /2 = 85.8 kips
From Table 6, for an 8-in. thick wall,
φVc = 8.3 × 20.67 = 171.6 kips Provide minimum reinforcement from
Table 3.
Since φVc /2 = 171.6/2 = 85.8 kips
< Vu = 123.2 kips < φVc = 171.6 kips, Use No. 3 @ 11″ vertical reinforcement and
provide minimum shear reinforcement No. 4 @ 12″ horizontal reinforcement.

• Moment strength in 3rd story
(No. 3 @ 10″) The required shear reinforcement is
adequate for moment strength for full
height of wall.
Ast = 0.13 × 20.67 = 2.69 in.2
For comparison purposes, the PCA
ω =

= 0.0203 computer program PCACOL was utilized to
248 × 8 4
determine the adequacy of the wall in the
1st story. As can be seen from the figure
178
α= = 0.0224 that is on the next page, the wall is
248 × 8 × 4
adequate with No. 4 @ 10″. Note that
points 1, 2, and 3 on the figure refer to the
load combinations corresponding to ACI
Eqs. (9-1), (9-2), and (9-3), respectively.
Similar results are obtained in the 3rd
story.
