    The document provides guidelines for the design of reinforced concrete (RCC) walls. It discusses slenderness limits for braced and unbraced walls, formulas for calculating axial load capacity of short walls, considerations for additional moments in slender walls, minimum reinforcement requirements, and link requirements when compression steel exceeds 2%. Support conditions that determine the effective length of the wall are also defined.

    The passage discusses guidelines for designing reinforced cement concrete (RCC) walls including design considerations, reinforcement detailing as per IS456 and BS8110 codes, and support conditions.

    Guidelines include limiting slenderness ratios, design equations for short braced and unbraced walls, and consideration of additional eccentricity and moment for slender walls.

    Requirements include minimum vertical steel, provision of transverse steel, maximum bar spacing, and double grid reinforcement for thicker walls.

    RCC WALL DESIGN GUIDELINES

    http://theconstructor.org/structural-engg/rcc-wall-design-guidelines/6854/

    Guidelines for design of RCC Wall:


    1. The limiting slenderness ( ) if any for unbraced wall is 30 and for
    braced wall is 45.

    2. For short braced RC wall ( < 12),

    Pu = 0.4 x fck x Ac+ 0.67 x fy x Ast


    3. For short unbraced RC wall, along with the above axial load Pu, the
    moment due to minimum eccentricity is checked for e min= t/20 or 20mm,
    where, M = P x e.
    For the above axial load and moment, the RC wall is designed similar to
    RC column subjected to axial load and uniaxial moment.

    4. Slender braced wall ( < 45):

    The additional moment due to additional eccentricity as per Table 1 of


    SP16 is considered. Where the additional eccentricity,

    The additional moment due to eccentricity is added with the moment on


    the column and moment on the wall. The wall is designed for axial load
    with uniaxial moment.

    5. For slender unbraced wall [ limited to 30]: Similar procedure as in


    case 4 is adopted.
    6. Detailing of reinforcement [IS456 Guidelines]:
    a. For plain concrete wall, minimum vertical steel is 0.12% for HYSD bars
    and 0.15% for mild steel bar.

    b. For RC wall, minimum vertical reinforcement is 0.4% of c/s

    c. In plain concrete wall, transverse steel is not required

    d. In RC wall, transverse steel is not required (not less than 0.4%)

    e. Maximum spacing of bars is 450mm or 3t, whichever lesser

    f. The thickness of wall in no case should be less than 100mm

    g. If thickness is greater than 200mm, double grid reinforcement is


    provided along both the faces.

    7. Detailing of reinforcement (BS 8110 guidelines):


    a. Horizontal reinforcement same as IS456

    b. Vertical reinforcement not to be greater than 4%

    c. When compression steel is greater than 2% of vertical reinforcement,


    horizontal reinforcement of 0.25% for HYSD bars or 0.3% of MS bars are
    provided. [As per IS456, it is 0.2% for HYSD bars and 0.3% for mild steel
    bars].

    d. The diameter of transverse bars (horizontal) should not be less than


    6mm or .
    8. Links are provided when the compression steel is greater than 2%.
    Horizontal links are provided for thickness less than 220mm. Diagonal
    links are provided when thickness is greater than 220mm. The spacing of
    links should be less than 2t and diameter of links not less than 6mm
    or .

    The support conditions for effective length of wall:


    1. Both ends fixed (Restrained against rotation and
    displacement)

    2. Both ends hinged

    3. One end fixed and other end

    4. One end fixed and other end hinged
