The following problems occurred when the Distribute forces to wall segments based on rigidity and the Use shearwall deflection to calculate rigidity Design Settings were both selected. They have been corrected:
Selection of Critical Segment in Design for Unknowns (Bug 2730)
The program did not take into account the distribution of forces on individual shearwall segments between openings when determining the critical segment for design. Instead it considered only the lowest Jhd value from all segments on the wall. As a result, walls with "unknown" material or hold-down choices sometimes failed design when the program should have designed a stronger wall that would pass
Design Ratio and Failure Warnings for Segmented Walls (Bug 2884)
The program did not take into account the distribution of forces on individual shearwall segments between openings when determining the critical segment for design. Instead it considered only the lowest Jhd value from all segments on the wall. As a result, walls with "unknown" material or hold-down choices sometimes failed design when the program should have designed a stronger wall that would pass
