An analytical method is proposed to determine the sway of a mixed structure (frame + shear wall) subject to seismic forces. The validity of the analytical method is tested on 3-D buildings of…
According to Saudi Building Code (SBC) and almost all other seismic codes of the world, Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear wallmoment resisting frame buildings must satisfy the requirements of…
It is common to design reinforced concrete buildings with shear walls to resist seismic loads. In the present study, an easy to apply analytical method has been proposed to determine the amount of…
