well what about pCAWALL by pca...anyway i am not very familiar with tiltup wall..could someone list the main critical elements in its design..
i know
1. secondary moments due to p-delta are imp..
2. bowing (temp) effects need to be looked into
3. openings for windows/doors need to be examined...
now many discussion on shearwall have been presented and yet it is only confounding to say the least..now the commercially available softwares like etabs/sap etc recommend modelling shwall as shell elements but the great wilson has cautioned against indiscriminate usage of the such 2-d elements...
