shear wall unsafe in shear

shear wall unsafe in shear

(OP)
Hi guys,

when u build a 3D model and after running the model, u notice that one of the many shear walls is unsafe versus shear, what i generally do is the following and would like to share my thoughts with you :

1- assign modifiers for f12 (0.7) so the wall could give some of the carried shear to the adjacent walls which the modifiers are unchanged.

2- Model the wall as a column so it wont get the transfered shear and will be distributed to the adjacent elements.

your thoughts are appreciated.

thank u
