1. Manager 2015 Paper 2 (Civil) · Q147 · RCC, Steel & Prestressed Design · RCC Design

   The functionality of a wall, retaining wall and a shear wall in order is ______. i) resist predominantly vertical loads ii) resist lateral loads perpendicular to the plane of wall iii) resist lateral loads in the plane of wall

   1. ii, iii, i
   2. i, ii, iii
   3. iii, ii, i
   4. ii, i, iii
   Show answer

   Answer: (2) i, ii, iii

   An ordinary (load-bearing) wall mainly carries vertical gravity loads, a retaining wall resists lateral earth pressure acting perpendicular to its plane, and a shear wall resists lateral wind or earthquake forces acting in its own plane. So the order is i, ii, iii.
