Analysis
of Shear Walls/Panels:
HYST
has been implemented in a general
static or dynamic analysis of shearwalls/diaphragms
and Panelized construction. For
shearwalls, two levels of complexities have been
considered: one limited to racking deformation as
in an earthquake or windstorm, and another in
which the wall may be subjected to simultaneous
loading in racking and transverse loads, with the
addition of vertical (axial) loads. The
corresponding computer programs are called WALL
and PANEL. The latter can consider general
panelized construction with or without
rigid insulation in the wall cavity.
