hello all few questions about wind load and shear wall: - does it make sense the wind load leads to deformation o 260 mm for 20 storey 40X20 building ? effective speed ~ 52 m/s, basic speed 24 m/s - when I added the shear it seems that it reduce the deformation to 240 ~ 230 mm is that true ? what's the point of the shear wall if it cannot reduce the lateral deformation ? - the bending moment on shear wall reaches up to 50,000 KNm which leads to the failure of the shear wall, it that amount of moment OK ? I created a model in etabs so maybe I done something wrong so I asked an expert help who modified my model and the deformation reduced to ~ 13 mm and moment to ~ 17,000 KNm [this makes sense to be but I just want to make sure]. so which result is making sense?
