basmest retain wall as shear wall
(OP)
i am modeling a three story irregular plan building (plan attached) the basement walls modeled with frame acts as a shearwall. This shear wall modeled with frames causes a offset of C.R. from C.M more than 5%. my question is that what detailing could be used so that the retaining walls dont act as shear walls? when these walls are removed the C.R. comes within 5% of C.M.

its a concrete wall, and the slab edges "hooks" into the wall, the wall is providing a line support to the slabs.
