A DESIGNER'S GUIDE TO DISPLACEMENT-BASED DESIGN OR RC STRUCTURAL WALLS

John W. Wallace, Ph.D. P.E.

Displacement-based design of sender reinforce concrete (RC) walls provides a versatile and flexible design format for evaluating detailing requirements at wall boundaries. The basis of the approach is to use displacement as the primary design parameter to relate overall system response to wall cross section behavior. Use of a displacement-based design format does not preclude the need to evaluate wall flexural and shear strenght requirementes.
