Problem with a Wall reinforcement.


Please, look the file that I post here, I have four (4) walls, with the same geometry, but with different loads, completely differents for each wall; and I don't know why after I made the calculations I get the same reinforcement for all of them.


Is imposible to have the same reinforcement, you can see the Wall-Note, exactly the same distribution of bars, the same weight, the same separation, although the loads are different for each wall.
I need 4 results different for each wall, If I change the load, the reinforcement should change, please help me,
I want to know what I'm doing wrong.
Thank You!

I'm not familiar with imperial units or reinforcement code you are using but first thing that crossed my mind.. Is it possible that loads you are giving are so small that according your design code minimum reinforcement is enough? So that's why same reinforcement for every wall..

I'm wondering the same. The loads look light at first glance.
For instance, wall2 has about 11psi of stress in the concrete (17kips total over 13.12ftx9.84") I'm guessing that the load is probably more than this, otherwise as jpo82 suggests, minimum reo is probably sufficient.
Can you tell us what loads you are intending to apply?
i.e:
1. what is the width of the floor that is supported by these walls (span between walls)
2. what is the floor load per sq ft that loads the top of these walls?
3. what are the in-plane lateral loads at the top of the walls. (wind and/or seismic?)
