Abstract
In the previous paper, the effects of an embedded beam on the elastic and plastic properties of framed reinforced concrete shear walls subjected to shear force were discussed at the view-point of "Indirectly Measured Values", which were analyzed based on actually measured strains and applied forces. Herein they are discussed at the view-point of "Theoretical Analyscs", of which analytical assumptions are based on the stress-strain relationships of "Indirectly Measured Values" analyzed in the previous paper, and the following results have been obtained again. (1) Before cracking in the concrete wall panels, the panels are more or less under pure shear and the stresses of the embedded beam are negligibly small. So the existence of the embedded beam gives little influences on the behaviors of framed shear walls. (2) After cracking in the wall panels, as the embedded beam tends to prevent the peripheral frame from expansion, its tensile stress becomes fairly large. Because of these actions the shear stress distribution of column-frames with the embedded beam differs from that of the other specimen without the beam.
