is the combined effect area of the shear walls in first story of the building, in m2
and it can be obtained using the following equation.

=cross sectional area of shear wall in first story of the building, in m2.
= length of shear wall in the first story in the direction parallel to the applied
forces, in meter with restriction that / shall not exceeded 0.9.
