Capacity Design of RC Walls

This lecture covers the capacity design of reinforced concrete walls in 10 steps, focusing on seismic engineering principles. It explains the process step by step, from choosing the plastic mechanism to checking the foundation. The lecture emphasizes the importance of flexural and shear design in both the plastic and elastic zones, following the Swiss code principles. It also discusses the overstrength ratio and the need to ensure resistance against brittle failure modes. Various design considerations, such as reinforcement stability and ductility, are highlighted throughout the lecture.
