Abstract
This paper presents a practical analysis of the Chain Construction in which the members are mutually connected by elastic joint. In this analysis, the following assumptions are used. 1. Members of the Chain Constructions are rigid. 2. Angle of rotation of the member at its joint is propertional to moment acting on the joint. 3. Normal forces shearing forces and twisting moment are all neglected. The result of this analysis coincides comparatively well with an experimental result on bending on panel-joints exist in the Sandwich Curtain Wall composed of special concrete panels. The results obtained are as follows : 1. It can be assumed that this Curtain Wall is constructed with isotropic plates for horizontal direction. For vertical direction however this assumption is note true. This theory has good agreement with the later. 2. So this theory is applicable whenever the two vertical opposite edges are free. 3. When the lower edge of the Curtain Wall is built in and upper one free, the theory showed good agreement with the result of the experiment.
