In order to determine the dominate system we need to determine the more rigid of the two systems (walls or the framing system) But when we can make that call; when one of the system is two or three times as rigid as the other system? Or if the difference in rigidity is small we design the two...

Thank you all for your help; Since I think the second approach is more feasible (to design each of the framing system and the shear panels for their share of the load). But how is analysis of the framing system + shear walls will be carried, is their a software to this kind of analysis.

Thank you rlflower, I meant by “divide the basic shear force between the R.C shear walls and the framing system”; is there is a need to share the lateral load resistance between the shear wall and the framing system. In order to determine the design forces on columns and beams from lateral...

I am designing a 15 storey apartment building; for my graduation project at the university. I used the 3 stair cases and the elevators shafts as the R.C shear walls 1. I would like to know if I should divide the basic shear force between the R.C shear walls and the framing system. 2. Can you...
