How to reduce shear force for shear wall sitting on semi rigid transfer slab ?

Question

I analyze my model using ram structural system and design the shear wall using ram concrete but I found out that my shear wall located at transfer level have exceptionally high shear force.

It depends in part whether the shear is coming from gravity loads or lateral loads. In general, you have the stiffness of the wall (E, t, and cracked factors) and the stiffness of the diaphragm that you can adjust. The only other factors are the mesh size and geometry (wall length and story height).
