I started to think that increasing the shear force of the curtain after Hw/3 as in Figure 7.12 (c) is against the logic of CURTAIN CUTTING STRENGTH CALCULATION. Namely; 1-We calculate the shear force coming from the analysis to the curtain. We multiply that by 1.2*D or 1.4*D. This increase is a precaution taken for the ductile operation of the curtain. There is no problem with that. Let's call this Ve1. 2- Based on the moment capacity of the shear wall, we calculate a shear force (equation 7.16) depending on this capacity. Let's call this Ve2. What does the regulation say? Consider the smaller of these Ve1 and Ve2 you found as the design shear force. Why is that? Because; Scenario 1: Let Ve1=100 kN, Ve2=200 kN. A maximum of 100 kN will come from the earthquake anyway, so there is no point in taking 200 kN. Scenario 2: Let Ve1=200 kN, Ve2=150 kN. That is, the scenario where the moment capacity of the curtain is almost the same as the incoming moment. At this time, due to the moment you get from the curtain, it will already carry a maximum shear force of 150 kN. Therefore, you will design according to 150 kN. Now after these scenarios, the shear force greater than Ve1 and Ve2 is taken into account on the upper floors where the curtain is less difficult. Especially, in the building that does not comply with the rigid basement rule, the Vbase is very large due to the basement floor mass. When you plot the graph with half of this Vbase at the top, you calculate abnormal shear forces.
