CONCRETE SHEAR WALL CONSTRUCTIONM. Ofelia Moroni, University of Chile, Santiago, ChileBACKGROUNDB uildings with cast-in-situ reinforced CONCRETE SHEAR walls are widespread in many earthquake-prone countries and regions, such as Canada, Chile, Romania, Turkey, Colombia, the republics of the former Soviet Union, etc. This type of CONSTRUCTION has been practiced since the 960s in urban regions for medium- to high-rise buildings (4 to 35 stories high). SHEAR wall buildings are usually regular in plan and in elevation. However, in some buildings, lower floors are used for commercial purposes and the buildings are characterized with larger plan dimensions at those floors.
2 Concrete Shear Wall Construction in the republics of the former Soviet Union, to 220 mm (the latter value corresponds to hollow-core slab used in Kyrgyzstan and other parts of the former Soviet Union).
