22. flexural mode of failure (flexural compression). With the improved shear resistance and high moment/shear ratio, crushing of compresses zones at the ends of the wall usually take place,
40. The diaphragms are classified into three groups of relative flexibilities: rigid, flexible, and semi rigid.
41. It is assumed to tribute the horizontal forces to the vertical resisting elements in direct proportion to the relative rigidities of those elements. This premise stems from the fact that under a symmetrical loading, the rigid diaphragm, which in it self does not deform appreciably will cause each vertical element to deflect the same amount. Rigid diaphragms are capable of transferring lateral and torsional forces to the walls. Rigid diaphragm
42. It may be likened to a series spans extending between very rigid supports, (i.e. vertical resisting elements). It is assumed here that the relative stiffness of these non yielding supports is very great compared to that of the diaphragm, which therefore deflects as a beam. This beam, having no appreciable continuity across the supports, thus develops no negative moment over them which would affect the distribution of lateral load Flexible diaphragm:
43. These exhibits significant deflection under load, and also have sufficient stiffness to distribute a portion of their load to the vertical elements in direct proportion to the rigidities of those elements. Semi rigid diaphragm
44. Horizontal forces at any floor or roof level may be transferred to the foundation through the strength and rigidity of the side walls, called as shear walls. The design strength of shear walls is often governed by flexure. However, in low walls, the governing design criterion may be shear, Masonry shear walls can be described not only in terms of types of masonry used , but also as load- bearing , non load bearing , reinforced or unreinforced, solid or perforated rectangular or flanged and cantilevered or coupled.

52. 1 For squat walls (h/L < 0.25), rigidities based on shear deformations are reasonably accurate. 2 For (0.25<h/L<4) intermediate cantilever walls both deflections components should be include ‘d’ in the calculation of relative rigidities. For high (h/L) the effect of shear deformation is very small and rigidity based on flexural stiffness is reasonably accurate.
