The background and development of Section II. 16, Special Provisions for Walls, of the ACI
Building Code (ACI 318-71 ) is discussed.
These provisions were found to predict satisfactorily the strength of six high-rise and seven low-rise shearwalls tested at the laboratories of the Portland Cement Association, as well as the strength of wall specimens tested by other investigators.The results of the PCA experimental investigations are summarized in an Appendix. Thirteen rectangular shear walls were tested under combinations of lateral and axial loads. One of the specimens was subjected to ten cycles of load reversals.
