Feb 6, 2004 Thread starter #3 pthorley Structural Feb 5, 2004 11 Looks like a good book to add to my collection. I looked through the TOC, do you know if it goes into detail about identifying wall lines, proportional force distribution to each wall line and segment, and shearwall and diaphragm stiffness?
