Emsen E., Aksogan O., "Generalized Static Analysis of Non-Planar Coupled Shear Walls with Stiffening Beams and Stepwise Cross-Sectional Changes", Third International Conference on Advances in Civil, Structural and Construction Engineering (CSCE 2015), Roma, ITALYA, 10-11 Aralık 2015, pp.36-40

<p>In the present work, the static analysis of non-planar coupled shear walls with any number of stiffening beams has been considered. The properties of the connecting beams and the cross-sectional area of the piers are also assumed to be varying stepwise in the vertical direction. The analysis is based on the Continuous Connection Method (CCM), in conjunction with Vlasov&rsquo;s theory of thin-walled beams. A computer program has been prepared and using this computer program an asymmetrical example has been solved and compared with the solutions found by the frame method and a perfect match has been observed.</p>
