In this article, ConstructionFeeds explains the process of calculating deflections of bents and shear walls:
The horizontal deflections in the planes of bents and shear walls can be calculated doing a hypothesis that they act as cantilevers. Deflections of braced bents can be computed by the dummy-unit-load process or a matrix process. Deflections of rigid frames can be calculated by the addition of the drifts of the stories, as spotted by moment distribution or a matrix method."
