analisys of coupled shear walls
hello fiends and colleagues of this forum...
i need for academical purpouses, the formulas to calculate the maximun displacement at the top of a coupled shear wall subjected to a triangular loading and also to a concentrated load at the top, using the laminar method (approximate) suggested by riko rosman, this approach is rewied at the aci journal vol 61,june 1964, but i havent found this journal. if anyone can send me the formulas or send me any document where they appear, i would be really grateful, ive been trying to obtain those formulas on the internet without success.
thank you in advance for your help...
perhaps try the moment frame & shear wall engineering forum
thank you dbuzz, i posted this same topic on the moment frame & shear wall engineering forum, but no one have responded so far...
i re
few years back, aci concrete international magazine published an article with basic computer program to do couples shear walls. i will try to see if i can find the year and month that this article was published.
good luck
