Answer Posted / Abhishek Kumar
To design a shear wall, we will first calculate the moments and shears for each loading condition, and then combine them to find the overall forces. We'll assume that the shear wall is reinforced with steel bars.
1. Axial force (DL+LL) = 1950 N
2. Moment (Moment due to DL+LL) = (1950*4.2)/2 = 3870 Nm
3. Shear (Shear due to DL+LL) = 1950/2*250 = 243750 N
4. Seismic load = 250 N
5. Moment (Moment due to Seismic load) = 250*(4.2^2)/8 = 312.5 Nm
6. Shear (Shear due to Seismic load) = 250*4.2/2 = 520 N
7. Total Moment = 3870 + 312.5 = 4182.5 Nm
8. Total Shear = 243750 + 520 = 244270 N
9. Check the maximum shear stress and bending moment at critical sections to ensure the wall is adequate.
