Great video sir, thanks for sharing, is the book published by you consist of the design principles as well?

Thank you. Yes, the title itself contains the word "Seismic Design". It involves new design philosophy and design applications.

@@Performance-BasedSeismic-ns6yo Thank you sir, I've bought the copy yesterday, will start reading it gradually.

Very informative video sir.. Thank you for sharing it. Sir i have one question regarding brick Masonary shear wall. If we use normal brick masonry wall in building, will it act as a shear wall when lateral froce will come parallel to the wall length direction? If it act as a shear wall then how will it take the tension as there will be tension in one face and compression in other face. Or this tension will be absorbed by the column when we are placing it between two column. Or should we use reinforced masonry brickwork? Again when we are analyzing in software, we are not considering the stiffness of brickwall in terms of lateral loading, should we consider it in building analysis to get accurate result or keeping the building in conservative side?

Thanks for the query. You have to note the presence of two aspects here - (i) behavior as shear wall and, (ii) Use as shear wall. Any planar element, including a split bamboo wall, or a mud wall, or a brick masonry wall when acted upon by a lateral force in their plane, behaves as a shear wall. Such WALLS CANNOT BE USED AS SHEAR WALL PER SE. So far as use is concerned, RC shear wall satisfies our needs... Tension and compression come into play when a wall is bending out of the plane. In out-of-the-plane action, any shear wall is weak....That is why shear walls need to be provided in both directions of the plan of a building.

Can timber be used for a shear wall??

Timber is used as a shear wall. By definition, any planar structural material element resisting force in its own plane is a shear wall. But, as timber is weak in strength, it can sustain limited lateral load in its own plane.

In U.S they mostly construct the structures in wood material if the owner is financially not well. Also concrete construction is too much cost there. So they use wood for construction and it is to be designed and get approval from the city before construction for which they need to do structuraldesign of the building with the help of structural engineers

@@venkatesh2285 Thanks for the comment. Yes, in USA generally steel structures are predominant. Timber is also used.
