Abstract:
Presents a simplified method of analysis for slender wall panels. It is suitable for hand calculations or for programmable calculators and is based on the mo-ment magnifier method using the bending stiffness of the cracked concrete section. Results are directly compared to detailed computer analysis and actual load tests.
