The combined deflection of piers B, C, D, and E are determined from the summation of their own individual
rigidities (use rectangular pier fixed curve #2 from figure 7-5) as follows:
The total shear wall deflection and stiffness can now be found as follows:
)TOTAL = )Solid - )Strip + )BCDE
= 0.4829" = 0.2341" + 0.3981" = 0.6469"
(b) The next step in the design is to determine the force distribution to the individual piers B, C,
and D. This can be done by dividing the stiffness of the individual piers by the summation of stiffnesses of
all the piers as follows:
