Displacement-based design of sender reinforced concrete (RC) walls provides a versatile and flexible design format for evaluating detailing requirements at wall boundaries. The basis of the approach is to use displacement as the primary design parameter to relate overall system response to wall cross section behavior. Use of a displacement-based design format does not preclude the need to evaluate wall flexural and shear strength requirements. These requirements are satisfied using well established procedures for proportioning structural elements, such as those provided in the Uniform Building Code for an equivalent static lateral force procedure or an elastic response spectrum analysis. In addition, steps must be taken to control the locations of inelastic deformations and to suppress shear failures.
