triangular load can be provided by assigning non-uniform shell load via equation as described in etabs documentation. My issue is how do I find the reinforcement for the out of plane forces in retaining wall or basement wall. I think what etabs gives is the reinforcement for the in-plane forces assuming it a shear wall by default. But retaining wall or basement walls are different animals. they are simply a cantilever slab or a two way or a one-way slab just placed vertically. how do I design a vertical slab? or get etabs to treat wall as a slab rather than shear wall?
