Abstract
In the previous paper, the author reported the theory of the Chain Construction with Elastic Joints from the result of the experimental study on the Sandwich Curtain Wall. And the other paper dealt with a practical analysis in the framework with Elastic Joints regarded as a structural member which may be deformed as well as a beam or a column. Namely the structural members connected to a joint rotate in proportion the bending moment acting on those end of the members and the rotation may be caused by the shear deformation of the joint panel. Then it was assumed that bending deformation of the panel is disregarded and the panel part in joint is enclosed with rigid members whose ends are hinged. The present paper deals with the elastic analysis of the frame with panel joints which rotates and is deformed by shearing force.
