The effects of shear deformation in non-rectangular steel reinforced concrete structural walls by Luo, Da, Zhang, Zhongwen, Li, Bing

“…Steel reinforced concrete composite (SRC) structural walls with embedded steel profiles have superb flexural strength and stiffness, which may lead to a more distinct influence on the shear deformation in these walls. If the walls have flanged sections, substantial influences of the shear lag effect could be expected. …”
