Does RCDC designs shear wall for out of plane moments in addition to in plane moments?

RCDC designs the sections as per the forces from analysis. In addition to the forces from analysis, RCDC calculates moments due to minimum eccentricity in both major and minor directions and performs section design. If applicable, slenderness moments are added in the final design moments. For cross-section design of walls same principles as column design are followed.
