β¦ Synopsis
The paper presents an approximate method of analysis of deep walls acting compositely with supporting beams. The stresses in the wall are expressed as power series in the horizontal direction, the coefficients being functions of the height only. After satisfying the equilibrium and boundary conditions for both wall and beam, the remaining coefficients are determined by minimization of the strain energy of the system. The problem reduces to the solution of a fourthorder differential equation subject to given boundary conditions, the influence of the supporting beam appearing only in the latter. The analysis is simplified by dividing the applied load into symmetrical and anti-symmetrical components. Gravitational loads are also included.
A number of sample curves are given to indicate the influence on the stresses of the various geometrical and stiffness parameters involved.

Most building materials, with the notable exception of steel, when subjected to a sustained load, undergo a continuous deformation whose rate decreases with time. This type of deformation is known as creep. In order to study problems of creep analytically it is necessary to produce a mathematical mo
