If both lateral and rotational restraints are offered by a support, then the wall is said to be fully restrained at the support. It is said to be partial, if only lateral restraint is provided. Combination of these two restraint cases yields different boundary conditions depending on location. The effective height of a wall is based on the boundary conditions. Table 17.2 presents the condition of supports and the corresponding effective heights and H is the distance between the supports.

Figure 17.9 shows the effective height of standing in different situations.
