Question: ( b ) A shear wall is being design for installation in a new building. The proposed wall dimensions are 2 metres high x 2

(b) A shear wall is being design for installation in a new building. The proposed wall
dimensions are 2 metres high x 2 metres long x 300mm wide. Calculate the
shear deflection and the total deflection of the shear wall when a force, P =50
kN is applied at floor level. Use a shape factor, =6
5
, to calculate the shear
stress (i.e.=
). Assume E =30 kN/mm2 and G =20 kN/mm2 for concrete.
