Abstract
An analytical model of a flexural-shear plate is proposed herein for the pu rpose of buckling analysis. In this paper, tall buildings with shear-wall s tructures and with narrow rectangular plane configuration are modeled as fl exural-shear plates for buckling analysis. The governing differential equat ion for buckling of a flexural-shear plate with varying cross-section is es tablished. Using appropriate transformations, the equation is reduced to an analytically solvable equation by selecting suitable expressions, such as power functions and exponential functions, for the distribution of stiffnes s along the height of the plate. The exact solutions for buckling of a flex ural-shear plate with variable stiffness are derived. A numerical example s hows that, the present methods are easy to implement and are efficient.
