Check for minimum area of horizontal steel of double layer reinforcement wall to cl. 11.6.1
Gross area of wall per running foot length ; Ag = h 12in = 720.000 in2
Number of horizontal bar per running foot height ; Nh = 12in / s h = 2.400
Area of horizontal steel per running foot height ; Ast_h = 2Nh ( Dhor2) / 4 = 2.121 in2

Braced wall slenderness check to 6.2.5
Maximum slenderness ratio limit ; sr_max = 100
Permissible slenderness ratio ; sr_perm = min(34 + 12 (M1_act / M2_act), 40) = 34.0
Slenderness check for braced wall
