The program also performs the following design, check, or analysis proce-
dures in accordance with UBC 1997 requirements:
Design and check of concrete wall piers for flexural and axial loads; see
Wall Pier Flexural Design for Shear Wall Design UBC 97.
Design of concrete wall piers for shear; see Wall Pier Shear Design for
Shear Wall Design UBC 97.
Design of concrete shear wall spandrels for flexure; see Spandrel Flexural
Design for Shear Wall Design UBC 97.
Design of concrete wall spandrels for shear; see Spandrel Shear Design
for Shear Wall Design UBC 97.
The program provides detailed output data for Simplified pier section design,
Section Designer pier section design, Section Designer pier section check, and
Spandrel design. See Output Details for Shear Wall Design UBC 97.
English as well as SI and MKS metric units can be used for input. The pro-
gram code is based on Kip-Inch-Second units. For simplicity, all equations
and descriptions presented in this series of Technical Notes corresponds to
pound-inch-second units unless otherwise noted.
Notation
Following is the notation used in the Shear Wall Design UBC97 series of Tech-
nical Notes.
Acv Net area of a wall pier bounded by the length of the wall pier,
Lp, and the web thickness, tp, inches2.
Asf The required area of tension reinforcing steel for balancing the
concrete compression force in the extruding portion of the
concrete flange of a T-beam, inches2.

Pleft Equivalent axial force in the left edge member of a wall pier
used for design, pounds. This may be different at the top and
the bottom of the wall pier.

Poc The maximum compression force a wall pier can carry with
strength reduction factors set equal to one, pounds.
Pot The maximum tension force a wall pier can carry with strength
reduction factors set equal to one, pounds.
Pright Equivalent axial force in the right edge member of a wall pier
used for design, pounds. This may be different at the top and
the bottom of the wall pier.
WL Wind load.

dr-top Distance from top of spandrel beam to centroid of the top re-
inforcing steel, inches. This can be different on the left and
right ends of the beam.
fys Yield strength of steel reinforcing, psi. This value is used for
shear design calculations.
