Shearwall ID  The shearwall name is created by placing the P index in front of the number entered here (such as P1, P15). The ideCAD increases these names in the order in which the shearwalls are drawn. shearwall names can also be changed after the shearwall are drawn. The shearwall names that are changed do not have to be P. Any name can be used. |
Group name  L, U, C etc. To design shearwalls made up of arms as a single shearwall element, they are called groups. shearwalls called the same group; in reinforced concrete design, it is listed under the shearwall group and and the account outputs are prepared as a shearwall group report. |
Width  Shearwall width refers to the thickness of the shearwall in plan.  |
Upper elevation/Elevation  Upper elevation and Elevation parameters are used to shorten or lengthen the shearwall from the top and bottom. As long as zero is left, it is taken as the floor height given in the Column Floor General Settings dialog. In this case, the shearwall lower node is located at the floor base and the upper joint is at the floor ceiling. If a positive value is entered in the upper elevation, the shearwall upper node is extended up to the entered value, if a negative value is entered, the shearwall is shortened downwards. If a positive value is entered in the elevation section, the value entered at the lower end of the column becomes shorter from the bottom. In case of negative value, the shearwall will extend from the bottom.  |

Reinforcement Design Tab
Specifications |
|---|
Reinforcement shearwall  If the shearwall is reinforcement shearwall entered, this line should be marked. Use right and right columns as headings: If the columns on the right and left of the reinforcement shearwall are required to be accepted as headings for the reinforcement walls, the options are marked. |
Short/head shearwall  This option is selected for short shearwalls that do not provide the 1/6 size ratio in group shearwalls and are desired to be shown in the calculations and drawings as the heading of the other shearwall. If this option is marked, the stirrup and longitudinal reinforcement design and drawing will be made by including the shearwall headers in the relevant shearwall.  The short shearwall, which is shown as selected in the sample screenshot, is included in the shearwall group and marked as a short title shearwall in its properties. |
Head/total reinforcement ratio  The default value is 0.50. This parameter; The wall end zone creates a lower limit for the amount of wall end reinforcement according to the total amount of reinforcement in the walls to be arranged. In other words, the amount of end reinforcement is determined at least as much as the ratio given to this row, besides the regulation conditions. For example, given the value 0.5, if the amount of reinforcement required for the whole wall is 100 cm2, 50 cm2 is placed in the middle area and 25 cm2 reinforcement is placed in the end regions for the left and right. Placed reinforcements are not selected less than the required reinforcement as per the regulation. |
Head lengths  Unless otherwise stated, the ideCAD determines the shearwall end zone lengths according to the conditions specified in TBDY. However, if wanted, the length of the header region can be adjusted to certain values. If the calculated head lengths, the head length for the respective shearwall is adjusted according to the TDY conditions. If user defined head lengths is checked, the length of the head is arranged as much as the length values given in the left and / or right lines for the relevant shearwall. |
Reinforcement design options  The reinforcement connections of the intersecting shearwalls are created according to the static state of the shearwalls . In the system walls, the horizontal body fittings are connected to each other by extending them into each other, while the basement perimeter walls are anchored to these system shearwalls. You can change how this wall is reinforced with body reinforcement from the reinforcement design options. Automatically, shearwalls that continue on the upper floors are classified as system shearwalls. Shearwalls below the rigid floor height and not continuing on the upper floors are classified as basement perimeter shearwalls. In cases that do not comply with these classifications, the user can determine how the web reinforcement of the selected shearwall will be reinforced with these options. Design as system shearwall: When the option is selected, the reinforcement design is made as the carrier system shearwall of the selected shearwall/shearwalls. Design as basement shearwall : When the option is selected, the selected shearwall/ shearwalls are designed as basement perimeter shearwall. Geometry defined (automatic): When the option is selected, the ideCAD automatically decides the reinforcement design of the walls/shearwalls. |
