Seismic design of concrete wall buildings--current codes and beyond
Using real examples of design situations and earthquake lessons, this presentation covers principles, code requirements,
and practical guidance on the seismic design of concrete wall buildings. Topics include desired seismic behavior,
preliminary design strategies, design for flexure, bar cut-offs and lap splices, design for shear, wall boundary detailing,
coupling beam design, and wall stiffness assumptions. The presentation covers the requirements of the 2006 IBC codes and
also discusses new requirements in the 2008 ACI 318 concrete code.
