THREE-DIMENSIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BENDING MOMENT AND SHEAR FORCE DEFORMABLE PANELS

摘要

In a previous paper, by using the continuous medium technique, the present authors showed that every plane panel, used to brace tall building structures acted upon by horizontal forces, is approximately equivalent to another panel composed of a shear wall joined to a two-column frame by pinned horizontal bars. In this paper, the three- dimensional association of such panels is considered. A simple example structure shows the advantage of the formulation, wherein very few parameters are needed to describe the whole structural behavior.
