Shear Wall Analysis using Framework Method: Comparison with Shell Element Method and Column Analogy
Different techniques are utilized to analyze shear walls like shell elements model or column analogy.Framework method (FWM) is used to substitute the shell elements.A rectangular model of 14-dq0051dx rigidly-connected plane framework is adopted here.FWM is found to be more sensitive for mesh size than shell element.Column analogy (CA) is to model t
