The modified substitute structure method as a design aid for seismic resistant coupled structural walls

The modified substitute structure method is presented as a design aid which evaluates ductility requirements and deflections to determine the suitability of a reinforced concrete structural wall to withstand an anticipated siesmic disturbance. The procedure is analogous to elastic modal analysis but...
