The design and detailing requirements for special reinforced concrete shear walls have undergone significant changes from aci 318 11 to aci 318 14.
Shear wall section and assumed reinforcement is investigated after analysis to verify suitability for the applied loads.

The changes are a result of the unsatisfactory performance of many shear walls in the chile earthquake of 2010 and the christchurch new zealand earthquake of 2011.
The design process is illustrated with examples.
In reinforced concrete buildings the vertical elements are usually either moment resisting frames or.
