Open and closed shear-walls in high-rise structural systems: Static and dynamic analysis

Blog Article

In the present paper, a General Algorithm is applied to the analysis of high-rise structures.This algorithm is to be used as a calculation tool in preliminary design; it allows to define the interaction between closed and open, straight or curved shear-walls, and the forces exchanged in structures subject to mainly horizontal loads.The analysis can be performed in both mpu63zm/a static and dynamic regimes, the mode shapes and the natural frequencies being assessed.

This general formulation allows analyses of high-rise structures by taking into account the torsional rigidity and the warping deformations 15-eg1053cl of the elements composing the building without gross simplifications.In thisway it is possible to model the structure as a single equivalent cantilever, thus minimising the degrees of freedom of the system, and consequently the calculation time.Finally, potentials of the method proposed are demonstrated by a numerical example which emphasizes the link between global displacements and stresses in the elements composing the structure.
