  • minimum longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the area 0.15lw from the end of a vertical wall segment, and over a width equal to the wall thickness, should be 6√fc‘/fy.

  • longitudinal reinforcement should extend vertically above and below the critical section at least the greater of lw and Mu/3Vu.

  • no more 50 percent of the longitudinal reinforcement should be terminated at any one section.
