Just wanted to add something in here. The comment regarding ductility no affecting period is not correct. Higher ductility assumes that a plastic hinge is forming in the building therefore causing a reduction in stiffness of the overall structure - this inherently means that the period of the...
Hello Peers,
I am struggling to make sense of ETABs results for interacting concrete shear walls. I have the following ETABS Model:
Two cantilever shear walls with pinned bases connected with a rigid link (to simulate a concrete floor with no coupling force, could also be done by assigning...
