Abstract – In practice, dual structural systems are frequently encountered,
consisting of structural walls and reinforced concrete frames. The main problem when
designing dual systems is to correctly notice the contribution of each component.
As structural engineers, we can control and improve the behaviour of
constructions subject to seismic action by the way we design, conform and realize the
structural system. This is also the objective of the present paper, namely, the analysis
of the influence of the conformation and arrangement of the structural walls on the
seismic response of buildings with a dual structural system.
Keywords – dual structures, seismic response, structural walls
