Abstract
A computer analysis has been made, using finite element methods, of the interaction between walls and their supporting beams. It is shown that the combined use of substructing and displacement constraining techniques enables a complex “macro” element to be easily derived, and its use gives a more economic solution than those provided by conventional finite elements of lower order. Results are compared with other analytical and experimental investigations and satisfactory correlation established.
