STIFFNESS MODIFIER FOR DESIGN

FOR COLUMN AND BEAM DESIGN

Greater of the two below combination:

Model-01: slab: 0.1

Beam, column and wall: 1

Model-02: slab: 0.1

Beam: 0.35

Wall and column: 0.70

STIFFNESS MODIFIER FOR SERVICEABILITY CHECK:

Slab: 0.5

Beam: 0.7

Column: 0.9

Wall: 0.75

For any structure frame must share 25% lateral load compared to shear wall. To check this go to 3d view
and show displacement for windx or y and go to draw then draw section cut and check the % of column
load compared to wall.If this does not happen change the stiffness modifier for wall.

Modulus of rupture check for shear wall when tension crack occurs

10*sqrt(f’c) when tension crack occurs: positive stress in etabs.
