ETABS features powerful and completely integrated modules for the design of steel and concrete frames, composite beams and concrete shear walls. This manual documents design of concrete shear walls using the 1997 UBC in ETABS. The goal of this manual is to provide you with all of the information required to reproduce the ETABS Shear Wall Design post processor results using hand calculations.
What is Shear Wall?
"wind and seismic loads are the most common loads that shear walls are designed to carry."
A structure of shear walls in the center of a large building – often encasing an elevator shaft or stairwell – form a shear core.
