Shear Wall Design Based on ACI

shear wall is a structural system composed of braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure. Wind and seismic loads are the most common loads that shear walls are designed to carry. Vibrations, which are caused under the earth’s surface, generate waves, which disturb the earth’s surface, termed as earthquakes.
