The connecting beam properties and the thickness of the wall may be varied in a special manner. Continuous connection method (CCM) is employed to find the system stiffness matrix. The system mass matrix is found with the lumped mass assumption. A computer program has been prepared in MATHEMATICA computer algebra system and some sample problems have been solved. The results obtained using the foregoing program have been compared with those obtained using SAP2000 structural analysis program, ending up with a good match ER -
