The numerical approach was first verified against results of instrumented full-scale structure reported in the literature. Finite element models with different combinations of longitudinal and transverse ribs spacing were analysed. The /c reduction method, which is a special shear strength parameter reduction technique, was applied to simulate the failure conditions. The results of /c reduction analysis were used to evaluate the contribution of transverse ribs of reinforcement to stability of the walls.
