It is noted from the Technical reference manual under section 5.55 the following description is furnished.
5.55 Shear Wall Design
- Panels have been defined.
Design is performed for all panels, for the cross-section located at a distance c from the start of the panel.
Shear Wall design is not available for dynamic load cases.
From the above statement it is clear that shear wall design is done for static load cases.
When model is analysed for EQ and RSA with shear wall the results yield bending, shear force etc for the shear wall for those cases.
Can you please explain whether the SHEAR WALL design is carried out by STAAD only for the STATIC loads or for the lateral loads also?
