Less number of specimen with the shear span ratio of 0.50 or less were test, because it is extremely hard to set it up. FE analysis can resolve above issues. In addition, the concrete strength reduction (CSR) would be occurred for the vertical direction due to the bleeding and the aggregate sedimentation. In this paper, concrete walls with shear span ratio of 1.0 or less and the CSR were analyzed. As a result, the CSR and Qsu’ should be taken into account the seismic assessment in addition to a conventional concrete survey for especially an existing building.
