6) EFFECTIVENESS OF BRACING ARRANGEMENTS IN IMPARTING STIFFNESS AGAINST LATERAL FORCES : Lateral Force Distribution in Continuous and Dispersed Elastic or Plastic Bracings in Three Dimentional Framed Structures using The Method of Stress-Controlled Calculation included parallel Transformation and Rotation

Abstract

This paper presents a solution for the lateral force distribution in bracings arranged continuously or dispersely in three dimentional many storied framed structures using the method of stress-controlled calculation including parallel transformation and rotation together. We can find easily a solution for the lateral force distribution in elastic or plastic bracings arranged continuously or dispersely in three dimentional many storied structures using the method. This paper also describes a comparison between the solution for the lateral force distribution in elastic bracings arranged continously or dispersely in a model frame using the method of stress-controlled calculation and the result for the lateral force distribution in the bracings measured by the test of the model frame.
