Reinforced concrete shear walls are the most frequently used forms of lateral resisting structural elements.
Rigidity of concrete shear wall.

Assume the roof of this building is a solid concrete slab rigid diaphragm of constant thickness.
For illustration and comparison purposes the following figures provide a sample of the input modules and results obtained from an spwall model created for the reinforced concrete shear wall in this.
It is thus of prime importance to study the rigidity of these walls.
Note that the diaphragm has a weight and the walls have weights tributary to the diaphragm also.
These walls may take many forms due to their functions and locations in the building.
The building shown has shear walls indicated.
Effective rigidity of reinforced concrete elements in seismic analysis and design j r.
The rigidity of a shear wall is inversely proportional to its deflection under unit horizontal load.
The shear walls support the roof diaphragm laterally.
This module allows the design of concrete shear walls including multi story walls with no openings but with up to five levels of differing length height and thickness.
The total deflection of the shear wall can be determined from the sum of the shear and moment deflections.
Stiffness of wall solution.
Height specifies the total height of the wall.
Determine stiffness from basic principles.
Wall is based on its relative rigidity or stiffness.
Shear wall concrete strength in plane and out of plane is calculated for the applied loads and compared with the code permissible shear capacity.
