Important Notes:

1- This module is based on the simplified formulae of section 11 It assumes double reo (equal reinforcement at each face)

2- Note the code limits before using the simplified method!

3- It is highly recommended to design the wall for Axial-Moment interaction, and considering Euler bucking in case of no interconnected walls

4- Wall's axial capacity doesn't account for vertical REO in simplified formulae

5- Use the "Columns" module to draw the interaction diagram of the wall and account for slenderness. You can draw the full interaction diagram including the tension zone by copying and pasting the interaction N/M values to Excel

6- You might consider designing the wall as masonry element to AS3700-2018 in case of single reo layer, note the masonry capacity based on (fcg) gives around 1150 KN/m vs. the limited capacity in section 11 in case of single layer (3 MPa max Fc premitted)
