The improvement of structural stiffness is crucial because the trend of building construction is toward taller, wider floor, and longer span structures. So, in order to reduce deflections and improve resistance of such structures against lateral loads such as wind ...

What is Shear Wall? – Its Types and Location in Buildings
What is a Shear Wall? Shear wall is a structural member in a reinforced concrete framed structure to resist lateral forces such as wind forces. Shear walls are generally used in high-rise buildings subject to lateral wind and seismic forces. In ...
Shear Walls – Types of Shear Wall and its Efficiency
What is a Shear Wall? Shear wall is a vertical structural element used to resist the horizontal forces such as wind force, seismic force. These forces acts parallel to the plane of the wall. Shear walls are generally used in ...
ANALYSIS OF SHEAR WALLS AND FAILURE MODE
The analysis of a framed building with shear walls subjected to horizontal and vertical load is essentially a three-dimensional problem. With the proliferation of computer programs available a three-dimensional analysis presents no great difficulty provided the modeling techniques fully reflect ...
