Consider determining bending moment at Z = 12.5 m in the middle of height between the 3rd and
4th story.

Moment in wall at Z=12.5 is
12.5 =

7.2(322 )
0.05 = 184.32 .

The total moment in the set of frames at level 12.5 meter from the base is given by:

The moment in the individual frames is obtained from the total moment in proportion to their
shear rigidities.
Moments in Frame 1:

Consider determining the shear force at Z= 12.5 m

= 0.39

From the variation shear chart for wall and frames we find that K4 = 0.25
:- Shear in the Core at Z= 12.5m is
(12.5) = 7.2 32 0.25 = 57.6
Total shear in set of frames is as follows:
