In-Depth Information
building at level C is only 14.5 m (47.6 ft) or 20% of the length of the concrete wall
at level B. This indicates that the presence of the different length walls at levels B
and C acting as shear walls resulted in additional modification of the thermal
movement of the structure at the eastern end. This modification however is clearly
dependent on the length or lateral stiffness of the shear walls.
