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 rigidly-connected plane framework is adopted here.
FWM is found to be Pegged Puzzles more sensitive for mesh size than shell element.Column Mountaineering - Homme - Vetements - Manteau analogy (CA) is to model the shear wall using the standard wide column analogy between the adjoining columns using beam elements.The column analogy is a simple and efficient method to represent the structure.
