Examples of detailing practices related to design and construction of reinforced concrete structural walls are discussed. Areas covered are transverse reinforcement in vertical boundary elements and anchorage of horizontal wall reinforcement within hinging regions of structural walls. The four primary functions discussed are: increase in limiting strain capacity of concrete, support of vertical reinforcement against inelastic buckling, containment of concrete, and improvement of shear capacity and stiffness. Recommendations for details of hoop and supplementary crosstie reinforcement are made. Details for proper anchorage of horizontal wall shear reinforcement are suggested.
