Two possibilities:
1. Only part of the wall section, concentric to the eccentric
compression force is working, whichhich is to be handled as
subjected to axial compression (see above)
2. The wall section is handled like a column section, but the
length of the part ls subjected to tension is estimated – and
corrected later if necessary
Correction of ls if necessary ls

Straight bracing walls have negligible rigidity in direction perpendicular
to their plane. Cosequently, the bracing wall system should have
minimum three members, because any planar force system can be
equilibrated by three forces acting in the plane, if they
-are not lying along one line and the
- do not intersect each other in one point
The effectiveness of the bracing wall system can be increased by
-symmetric arrangement of the walls
-placing the walls near the contour of the building
good arrangement better arrangement
Bracing walls: 1 to 8
C: center of rigidities Resultant of wind forces: Ry and Rx

qwx,d and qwy,d are the design value of the wind load in x- and y-
directions respectively (sum of wind pressure and suction) in kN/m2
The forces absorbed by the bracing walls in x and y-directions:
From Rx in walls in x –direction:

Due to the spatial stress state, the capacity force can be determined
from the expression:
