I just design all the walls without considering the deflection of the supporting beams and design those beams for Omega and keep deflection of those beams due to seismic within a range I think it's ok (either L/180 or L/240). I like to do it but honestly with all crazy design with discontinued shear walls everywhere, I don't have a system to do this effectively fast & proper enough especially for rigid or semi-rigid diaphragm assumption where force distribution depends on the effective stiffness of the walls. But does anyone here actually do it in your daily practice. 3) This arrangement will reduce the effective stiffness of the upper shear walls as the chords will effectively be sitting on springs at the cantilevers.ฤก00% agree that this is the right way to design the wall and deflection or drift.
