These moments were readily handled by the shear wall system.

The walls may be designed as a shear wall to provide structural stability.

The blast was powerful enough to shear walls off buildings in the city's main business district.

The concrete is not load bearing but provides a shear wall.

There are no bracing or shear walls to strengthen the structure.

Absence of adequate shear walls on the ground level caused damage to this structure.

The structure is assumed to be comprised of column, shear wall, and floor plate elements.

The results from the nail connection tests were used in a larger study of timber shear walls.

The building is braced by four flat shear walls and three cores.

So do 'shear walls' made of reinforced concrete and coupled with the building's frame.

Scaffolding may be needed when we are fixing panels on a blank shear wall.

Shear walls resist lateral forces such as in an earthquake or severe wind.

The shear walls and slight right turn make the entrance to this rapid identifiable.

The building is stabilised by concrete shear walls and clad in steel.

The model predicts the cyclic response of shear walls.

These connection characteristics translate into similar behaviour in nailed timber shear walls.

The model is restricted to two-dimensional shear walls with arbitrary geometry.

In addition, the walls of the lecture theatres will act as shear walls.

A study is made on the behavior of shear wall systems made from large precast panels.

For instance, there are special features to control the role of the shear walls in the lateral response of the building.

Introduction to the method of finite differences as applied to shear walls and plates. 2 hours.

This usually involves the introduction of new shear walls and/or ductile frames.

Also, changes in architectural style can make buildings more or less dangerous by where you put windows or shear walls.
