Holmes Worked Example
This document provides an example shear wall design using AFS Logicwall permanent formwork system. The design is for a 5-storey apartment building in a New Zealand region with moderate seismicity on non-liquefiable soils.
The design is for the shear wall only. It assumes the wall has a low axial load (N*<0.10Ag.fc’). The wall is designed to be limited ductile (µ = 2).

What is AFS Logicwall?
AFS Logicwall® is a permanent formwork system for concrete walling applicable for external and internal applications. It consists of lightweight sandwich panels created by bonding hard-wearing fibre cement sheets to galvanised steel stud frames.
What are the main applications for the AFS Logicwall® system?
- Intertenancy walls
- Corridor walls
- Lift and stair walls
- Façade walls
- Blade walls
- Party walls
- Boundary walls
- Balustrades
What are the main benefits associated with the AFS Logicwall® system?
- Speed of construction
- Materials handling and resulting cost efficiencies
- Panels are custom made for each project reducing on-site waste
- System is load bearing
- Offers a consistent high quality finish
- Offers ease of design and specification
How are AFS Logicwall® internal walls finished?
For internal wall finishing, afs logicwall® can be:
- Joint set only
- Joint set and skim coated
- Lined with plasterboard.
However, such is the quality of finish of afs logicwall® we recommend that it is simply joint set and skim coated. Walls are then ready for applied finishes.
How are AFS Logicwall® external walls finished?
AFS strongly recommend the application of an acrylic render system to external walls. This assists the concealment of joints and surface imperfections which may be visible with glancing light conditions.
Does AFS provide technical support?
AFS provides extensive technical support to your team of Engineers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors, Drafts people and Estimators along with the availability of detailed technical manuals and design guides.
