Abstract:
Slender sheer walls in multistory buildings are discussed in this paper and answers are given to such questions as "Why do we need them?" and "What do we know about their design?". Also discussed are the historical development of the use of shear walls, their performance in earthquakes of the past 10 years (both good and bad), and finally, the available design information and our future needs in the area of design of shear walls for strength, stiffness and ductility, as well as needs in the area of analysis for the dynamic response of shear wall structures.

Tests were made of ductile concrete joint designed to minimize steel congestion common to seismic-resistant building joints. An experimental comparision was conducted on two, full-sized, beam-column joints.

Formulation of the dynamoc response equations for structures subjected to earthquakes is summarized, and techniques of accounting for the nonlinear cyclic loading behavior of reinforced concrete are mentioned.

Twenty-two reinforced concrete beam-column T-shaped connections were constructed using the same strength of material and geometrical configuration for each specimen. Test loading conditions were chosen to represent earthquake loading producing steel strains well beyond yield.
