Design a uniform distribution of vertical and horizontal reinforcement for the first story of the structural wall shown in Fig. P18-5. The given horizontal loads are strength-level static-equivalent earthquake forces, so use a load factor of 1.0. The vertical dead and live loads are from the tributary area adjacent to the wall. Assume the given lateral loads include the direct shear force and any torsional effects that need to be considered. Use a compressive strength of 4000 psi and Grade-60 reinforcement. Your final design should satisfy all ACI Code requirements for minimum reinforcement percentages and maximum spacing.
