Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the response of planar
coupled shear walls before and after the repair of the beams at
the elasto-plastic wall joints using the discrete force method.
The methhod 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 the wall junction. The
elasto-plastic condition is restricted to the connecting beams
using a convenient perfectly elastic/perfectly plastic material
model. The work presents the results obtained with the discrete
force method and discusses their applicability to some
representative problems.
