Abstract

An analysis of elasto-plastic spatial shear walls is developed using a discrete force method which models the shear walls as a system of interconnected discrete structural elements. The analysis is based on the force approach, using as redundants the shear forces not only at the contraflexural points of the connecting beams but also at wall junctions. The elasto-plastic condition is restricted to the connecting beams using a convenient bi-linear model for the force formulation. The effectiveness and efficiency of the approach are demonstrated by application to number of examples for which solutions are available from a number of established alternative methods.
