RCWALLPRO
CONCRETE SHEARWALL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SPREADSHEET
Based on ACI Concrete Shearwall Design Integrated With IBC / ASCE 7 Seismic Provisions
MAIN SPREADSHEETS (Click to see
the sample) are EXCEL files with following features:
Calculate deflections of multi story
reinforced concrete prismatic walls
for walls with or without enlarged
ends, symmetric or unsymmetrical
Bending and shear demand/capacity checking under maximum or minimum axial
load including vertical seismic forces
Strain and Strength reduction factors determination
Calculate Required boundary element
dimensions and reinforcement per ACI
The input block and the intermediate
calculations of the main spreadsheet are not locked so it can be modified to
the user's need. There are two main spreadsheets in the package. The first
spreadsheet is intended for walls less than ten stories high, and the second
spreadsheet is the extended version for walls up to 40 stories high.

COMPANION SPREADSHEETS are for non-prismatic walls where users can input wall
deflections from other programs, such as ETABS, RISA. This spreadsheet can be
used for any number of story.
The main assumptions, input description,
example problem verification and graphical details, and a summary of UBC
requirements for shear wall design are included in the package. Easy input with
drop down feature and guidelines on required input are provided through
validation box. Different cell colors are used to indicate acceptable and under
design conditions, as well as warnings.
