it's possobe to find a mathematical model for the shear deformation of the RC wall? if there is a material where can I find it.
Thanks

I've used the following formula before:

[Δ]v = 1.2Ph / (AEv)

where,

[Δ]v = horizontal shear deflection at the top of the wall

P = horizontal force at the top of the wall
h = vertical height of the wall
A = cross sectional area of the wall (in a horizontal plane)
Ev = Shear modulus (sometimes referred to as G)
