Shear Wall Success
CECO Concrete Construction’s approach to planning and placing vertical concrete projects helped the company achieve a successful placement and a satisfied client at its recent work on shear walls at a multi-family project adjacent to Safeco Field in Seattle, Wash.
As the photos demonstrate, there are heavily reinforced areas within the shear walls. The beam in the center of the photos has 32 #11 bars, 21 feet long, installed in an “X” pattern across the opening and fully developed into the boundary elements. The design in this location and at the typical boundary elements effectively eliminated the use of internal vibration in much of the walls.

Show Us the Data
American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC)
Authoritative statements in ACI documents are often unaccompanied by any reference to published data that validate the statements. That’s a problem.
Reinforcing steel is so congested in the shear wall boundary element (right side of photo) that concrete must be placed in the less heavily reinforced shear wall section (left side of photo) and vibrated at that point to move it laterally into the boundary element.
