crack result

[saclovitzky]

Hello,

I'm just wondering why I cannot see the "crack result" of this wall(model as slab).

Any help will be greatly appreciated(pls. see attached)

@Anonymous Wasi, any comment?

As your panel is always under compression, there is no crack to show

Your panel under another configuration shows:

So basically, walls in compression doesnt show any cracks?

Correct

I'm just trying to design a deep beam. In some textbooks it shows bottom and diagonal cracks.I'm just wondering whether ARSAP can show that in RC Walls.

I thought ARSAP can show rc walls results with cracks(similar to slabs).I am designing a deep beam, and we are interested to its crack results(some textbooks show perpendicular cracks, in deep beams)

Only in plan cracks are calculated.

For the wall you are talking about,  cracks are out of plan
