Abstract:
This paper presents a study of the behavior and design of ductile shear walls, limiting the study to those walls which behave as flexural members, the ductility of flexural members having been generally proved in tests and in practice in seismic regions. . .This paper is intended as a design aid for structural designers who are considering the use of shear walls in seismic regions.
