STRUCTURAL / HONG KONG CONCRETE

Hong Kong RC wall bending and shear

Workbook-based wall strip bending, shear and reinforcement comparisons with explicit source limitations.

Design basis must be confirmed

Hong Kong Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Concrete 2013 · workbook basis; exact clauses require manual verification. These tools do not establish complete design approval.

Parameter input guide

Use the circled i controls for units, source meaning and input guidance. Enter factored actions for the selected section. Reinforcement area is derived from bar count/diameter or spacing, not entered directly.

Enter actions for the assessed strip width. Area per metre and actual strip area are both shown to expose the source unit mismatch.

Scope and limitations

Source sheet is named Wall(2004) but labels2013. Its per-metre reinforcement, selected-width demand, overall-depth lever-arm cap and link exponent are not a verified design method. Fire cover lookup is for continuous slabs, not verified wall fire resistance.
