SHEAR WALL - ITS TYPES AND POSITIONING

The Constructor

If the core remains in this position then it must be designed explicitly for the torsion. However, this arrangement lacks the good torsional stiffness of the previous arrangements due to the eccentricity of the core. It is far preferable to adopt a symmetrical arrangement to avoid this.

PUNCHING SHEAR

The Constructor

Punching shear is most common, and is a major design consideration, in flat slab construction. When the total shear force exceeds the shear resistance of the slab, the slab will be pushed down around the column, or this can be viewed as the column being punched through the slab.

COMMON STRUCTURAL FAILURE CAUSES

The Constructor

Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. From these experiences from past, the common causes of structural failures are understood. 10) compressed design and/or construction time. 9) poor training of field inspectors. (10)
