... in this paper. Formulae for the shear sti€ness of cross-bracing of di€erent geometrical arrangements are presented. The sandwich model is introduced for the fullheight buckling analysis. Simple closedform solutions are derived and a design diagram and tables are given for the calculation of the critical load...

... In this paper simple expressions are presented to assess the deflection cur ve, elastic critical load and fundamental period of coupled shear walls of variable thickness. A numerical example is given for illustration. In addition, it is shown that a coupled wall of certain static and dynamic properties can...
