Stiffening of Shear Walls
Abstract
In interacting shear wall and flat slab-column construction it is desirable to be able to evaluate the contribution of the columns to the stiffness of the lateral load resisting system. This paper presents a relatively simple method whereby this contribution can be determined, both in terms of the reduction in lateral displacement and the reduction in overturning moment in the shear walls. For the case of a continuous flat slab connection, the …
