Ductility of coupled shear walls

In this project the strength and behaviour of coupled shear walls subjected to seismic type of lateral load are examined. The sensitivity of shear wall response to changes in relative stiffnesses of beams and walls, and the effects of cracking are studied. Using a finite difference approximation the...
