Plate Element with Cutout for Perforated Shear Wall
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 2
Abstract
A rectangular plate element with rectangular cutouts was developed. The stiffness matrix of the element is formed by numerical integration in which the region of the cutout in the element is excluded during the integration process. The behavior of the newly developed element is very good, based upon comparisons with the results from a well‐established finite element program. This element can be used effectively and economically in the analysis of perforated shear walls, especially in the analysis of the integrated behavior of the entire structure.
