considering Dual System
For Shearwall (x - direction)
AB = 1058.75 m2

AB = the ground floor area of structure or may be taken as the average

floor area in the upper setback portion of the bldg. where a large

Lw =

8.3

base area exists at the ground floor

Lw = length of wall along x-direction

m.

V = 11087.4 KN

V = base shear

Solving for rmax @ shearwall

Ground floor:
Vw = 26966.8 KN

ri

= (3.05Vw / Lw) / V

Second floor:
Vw = 8294.79 KN

ri

= (3.05Vw / Lw) / V

Use rmax

ri

= element story shear ratio

rmax = the maximum element-story shear

For SMRF (considering 1/3 height)

Solving for rmax along x - direction:
Ground floor:
Vw1 = 630.74 KN
Vw2 = 624.294 KN
%Sw =
25%

Vw1-2 = shear of two adjacent columns in a moment frame bay

%Sw = 25% are used since shearwall carries 75% of baseshear

Ground floor:
Vw1 = 183.854 KN
Vw2 = 121.044 KN
