Features: This book is part of the "Brief Civil Engineering Series," systematically introducing the analysis and design methods of shear wall structures. The content includes: general requirements for shear wall structure design; approximate analysis methods for integral walls, small-opening integral walls, coupled shear walls, and short-story shear walls; section design and construction requirements of shear walls, as well as the design of ductile shear walls. Among them, the continuous connection medium method for solving coupled shear walls is detailed, providing solutions under standard horizontal loads and the lateral stiffness coefficient of coupled shear walls. The book also provides a relatively detailed discussion on the minimum story-height-to-thickness ratio, failure modes under horizontal loads, nonlinearity, and dynamic characteristics of short-story shear walls. The book is concise and to the point, focusing on clarifying fundamental concepts and understanding codes. The analysis methods only introduce approximate analytical solutions for shear walls to help readers grasp the basic characteristics and analysis methods of shear walls, laying the necessary foundation for further design and research on shear wall structures. This book can serve as a teaching material for senior undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering at universities, as well as a reference for engineering and technical personnel engaged in architectural structure design and research. The book systematically introduces the analysis and design methods of shear wall structures, including: general requirements for shear wall structure design; approximate analysis methods for integral walls, small-opening integral walls, coupled shear walls, and short-story shear walls, etc.
