Abstract:
Section 21.2.5 of ACI 318-02 requires longitudinal reinforcement meeting ASTM A 706 in “structural wall boundary elements.” For special concrete shearwalls, does this mean the A 706 longitudinal bars are only required over the height of the wall reinforced with special boundary element transverse reinforcement according to Section 21.7.6.2 (or 21.7.6.3), up through the region of the wall meeting the requirements of 21.7.6.5, or over the full height of the wall?
