...

Tip
  • The minimum wall thickness control is done automatically.

...

bw = the width of the web of the wall segment, in.
h = overall thickness, height, or depth of member, in.
hw = height of entire wall from base to top, or clear height of wall segment or wall pier considered, in.
lw = length of entire wall, or length of wall segment or wall pier considered in direction of shear force, in.

...
