4 STARS BECAUSE OF NEW SHEAR WALL DESIGN
Hello ALL
You know better than me that ACI-318-2019 says that we should amplify shear force for designing special shear walls.
In the commentary, ACI-318 mentions to NZS 3101 code too.
NZS-3101 says for such an approach the PHI(strength reduction factor )
is equal to 1 .... phi=1 instead of 0.75 or 0.60
Why is it different in the two codes?
please guide me.
thanks before
Ahmad
