. In this post, we are going to consider how to design concrete shear walls according to Eurocode 2.

Thus, one of the methods of ensuring lateral stability and avoiding excessive lateral deflection is by deploying shear walls across the width of the building to resist the lateral forces.
Flat slabs are reinforced concrete slabs supported directly on columns, without beams. They are sometimes thickened at the columns to form column drops.
Waffle slabs are not different from a ribbed slab, their design is indeed based on the same principle as the ribbed and troughed slab system.…
A column is considered slender when second-order effects ( i.e. additional effects caused by structural deformations) cannot be safely ignored in the analysis and design…
A structure does not only transfer gravitational forces to the ground, it must do so for several other lateral forces applied . The components that…
Introduction In the design of reinforced concrete element, the tensile stress in the concrete element is assumed to be fully carried by the reinforcement. This…
One way slabs are the most basic form of slab and beam construction, generally employed for utilitarian purposes in offices, retail developments, warehouses, stores and…
