Slender Walls Displacement Capacity
All test specimens were able to sustain multiple
cycles to drift ratios exceeding 1%.
Walls with confined boundary elements were able
to sustain larger inelastic deformations.
Walls that experienced web crushing sustained
slightly lower maximum inelastic deformations.
Maximum inelastic displacement depends on
loading history.
