Determine stiffness from basic principles.
Rigidity of concrete shear wall.
Effective rigidity of reinforced concrete elements in seismic analysis and design j r.
Stiffness of wall solution.
The rigidity of a shear wall is inversely proportional to its deflection under unit horizontal load.
Reinforced concrete shear walls are the most frequently used forms of lateral resisting structural elements.

9 1 5 2 deflection calculations shall be based on cracked section properties.
Equations for the deflection of fixed and cantilevered walls or piers are shown in fig.
These walls may take many forms due to their functions and locations in the building.

The shear walls support the roof diaphragm laterally.
Note that the diaphragm has a weight and the walls have weights tributary to the diaphragm also.
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.
