Concrete Shear Walls with Irregular Geometries
Concrete Shear Walls with Irregular Geometries
(OP)
Hi guys,
I am looking for some information on concrete shear walls with irregular geometries and how they behave. Does anyone here have direct experience with this or can point me in the direction of some literature on the topic?
I have attached a file with a sketch of the basic type of irregularity I am referring to. I understand some interesting things can happen with the foundation when this occurs. Thanks.

drile007 and slickdeals, I know that running a FEM would answer all the questions for a specific loading. I just thought that this situation would have been a common enough occurrence for someone to at least have put something on paper discussing this issue, especially the general foundation requirements.
