Rigidity Determination for Shear Wall & Shear Wall with Opening Using Finite Element Method

The rigidity of a shear wall is inversely proportional to its deflection under unit horizontal load. The total deflection of the shear wall can be determined from the sum of the shear and moment deflections. Equations for the deflection of fixed and cantilevered walls or piers are shown in Fig.
