Design a 33ft long reinforced concrete shearwall with 15ft height and 8" thickness. Use fc' = 3000 psi and fy = 60000 psi. The shear wall is experiencing a factored shear load, Vu = 520kips at the top of the wall. Assume zero normal load. Use 12mm diameter bars for vertical and horizontal shear reinforcing and 25mm bar for vertical flexural reinforcing. Avoid rounding off in the intermediate solutions, apply proper rounding off in your final answers.
