Abstract
In order to predict the inelastic response of reinforced concrete structures under dynamic earthquake loading, hysteretic behaviour of their structural components must be evaluated appropriately. Though various restoring force models have already been proposed for beams and columns, hysteretic behaviour of flexural type shear walls remains unclear in many respects. In this paper, an evaluation method of distributing the total deformation of a shear wall into the flexural and shear deformation is mentioned and an analytical one of evaluating these deformations is proposed. The comparison of analytical results with test results of shear walls is carried out.
