Composite Plate Shear Wall Design Spreadsheet

Composite Plate Shear Wall design criteria is:

1. The ACI 318-14 22.4 limited the maximum concrete compressive stress to 0.85 fc'. But the AISC 341-16 H7.5 change it to 1.0 fc' for boundary elements and 0.7 fc' for non-boundary elements. This limitation governs the compression controlled flexural strength, so the software user may input the limitation value.

2. The C-PSW/CF benefits include that steel can provide confinement of the concrete, reinforcing bars are typically not necessary, concrete core delays local buckling of steel plate, and steel can act as formwork for accelerated construction.
