The continuous connection method of analysis is extended to deal with the free vibrations of a coupled shear wall structure. The natural modes and frequencies are determined from the Galerkin technique, and the dynamic response following an imposed lateral displacement is evaluated. A comparison is made between theoretical predictions of natural frequencies and the results from tests on model structures.
