The design of reinforced concrete shear wall structures for earthquake loads is a complex task. Research and practical experience have shown that designs based on linear structural analysis may not ensure good seismic performance. Designs based on nonlinear analysis and capacity design can achieve better performance and reduce construction costs.

Computers & Structures, Inc. is pleased to introduce a book and data disc reference set containing modeling guidelines for tall shear walls and a detailed example of a three-dimensional, 13-story shear wall building using CSI’s PERFORM 3D.

This Reference Set Includes:
• A 90-page book by Dr. Graham H. Powell, featuring detailed notes, calculations, and illustrations to walk you through the example, step-by-step.
• A data disc in DVD format containing supporting files and models, supplemental notes, information about current research and a PDF version of Dr. Powell’s book.
• A fully-featured 90-day trial version of PERFORM 3D.
