Stricter rules for reinforced concrete
The 2026 notice sets new minimum requirements for shear walls and column dimensions in reinforced concrete projects: multi-storey RC buildings with BYS ≤ 6 need shear walls in both directions, and a column’s long side may be at most 1.5 times its short side.
These requirements are defined for reinforced concrete, not for load-bearing timber wall systems. CL-Therm is designed to the timber building regulation.
