i'm looking for information about how to adress the different stiffness of a steel moment frame and wood shear walls in a dual system
find a job or post a job opening
not sure what your question is, but it's a matter of determining the relative stiffness of both. apply a unit load and determine the displacement for the stiffnesses.

look up "rigid diaphragm" and "flexible diaphragm" and load distribution for each.
