Stiffness-Displacement Correlation from the RC Shear Wall Tests of the SAFE Program: Derivation of a Capacity Line Model

Figure 25

Comparison of the identified characteristic drifts for all the walls as a function of reinforcement and normal load. Drift (, (a)) and Drift (, (b)) are, respectively, the characteristic values at a reference initial stiffness and at a reference near-collapse stiffness.
