Question: ( c ) Wall D resists a characteristic permanent load ( g k ) of 3 0 0 k N m and a Fig .

(c) Wall D resists a characteristic permanent load (gk) of 300kNm and a Fig.02: Plan of Shear Wall Layout
characteristic variable load (qk) of 200kNm at its base due to gravity loads such
as self-weight, floor loads etc.
The characteristic wind action in the East-West direction may be idealised as a
uniformly distributed lateral load of 10kNm applied along the full 30m height
of the wall.
(i) Determine the peak compressive and tensile stresses at its base at
ultimate limit state.
(ii) Determine the reinforcement required at the base to resist the peak
tensile stress determined in (i). Clearly state any assumptions made.
