Abstract
In the present paper, an earthquake shear force calculation method for arbitrary direction masonry walls under arbitrary direction earthquake, considering three types of floor slab, i.e. rigid floor slab, soft floor slab and semi-rigid floor slab, are studied. The proposed formulas can be used to distribute story earthquake shear force among masonry walls in a non-orthogonal masonry structure.
