Hello everyone
I am using STAAD pro V8i currently to model multistory building by using BS 8110 for concrete structures. everything seems fine but when it comes to shear walls i run into some difficulties, so i needed some help to get me through this.
1 - My first problem is to how can i assign loads on shear wall surface panels as Uniform force since i have some slabs and stairs loads transfer to the shear wall ( i am using Hollow core slab in my design ).
2 - Second , when i run the analysis i can not get the shear wall design result and Instead of that i get note saying :
Failed : can not design at this height as out of plane lateral bending requires reinforcement on both faces of wall. Single layer reinforcement is not suitable.
quick response will be appreciated
Thanks,
