✦ Synopsis

An approximate theory to analyze the torsional deformation of symmetrical core wall structures subjected to applied torque is presented. Explicit solutions are obtained for the case of a concentrated torque at the top and the case of uniformly distributed torques. An experiment is carried out to verify the accuracy of the theoretical calculations. An example is worked out to show the importance of warping stress due to torsion. Finally, design curves are presented for the case of uniformly distributed torque to facilitate design calculations.
