Design Procedure for Thin Shear Walls in High Seismic Zones

Design Procedure for Thin Shear Walls in High Seismic Zones

To test the seismic efficacy of a thin wall type of shear wall that has the potential to provide safer buildings in the six- to seven-story range to effectively meet California's growing need for lower cost buildings, and to publish design guidelines for practitioners' use in designing these systems.
