Question
I'm curious about the meaning of the Boundary Element Rebar value in the Special Shear Wall Design Results calculation.
Answer
The boundary element commentary for the special shear wall design result sheet in the question is shown below.
Example : 4-2-D13@90(Length = 0.77m)
• 4 : Number of boundary element horizontal bars distributed in the wall thickness direction.(3EA)
• 2 : Number of boundary element horizontal bars distributed along the length of the wall.(2EA)
• D13 : Boundary Element Diameter
• @90 : Vertical Spacing of Boundary Element Horizontal Reinforcement (SPACE)
• Length = 0.77m : Special Boundary Element Reinforcement Length in the Wall Length Direction
"The following is a typical special shear wall reinforcement type."
