Is there an option to input RC jacketed no psuedo-column wall sections. Currently, the jacketed sections are only for columns and beams.
Can the RC jacketed rectangular column section be adopted for the walls also?

Re: RC Jacketing Walls
Considering that the confinement of the jacketed section comes mainly from the dense reinforcement of the jacket, it is a good approximation to ignore the pseudo-columns of the existing section. Hence, you could use the jacketed RC rectangular section.
