b d y x P3 P2 P1 h h h s X Z
A two-dimensional reinforced
concrete frame building subjected to
a set of lateral loads is shown. The
sectional sizes
of beams (
b
×
d
) and
columns (
x
×
y
), the
floor height
(
h
),
the
beam span
(
s
) and the
applied
lateral loads
(
P

P

Table 1. The material properties of
all structural members are constant:
the Young's Modulus
E
= 25GPa
and
Poisson's ratio
v
= 0.2
. For
lateral
load analysis
, you may assume the
concrete weight per unit volume to be
0 N/m

Setup the computer model of the building using the computer software
ETABS
(which is available in Manusell
Laboratory) and
(a) determine the
deformed shape
of the frame;
(b) show the
bending moment diagram
of the frame;
(c) check the
global force equilibrium
of the frame;
(d) check if the
drift ratio
(
Δ
roof/
H
b) ≤
1/500, where
H
bis the
building height and
Δ
roofis the roof lateral displacement; and
(e) suggest four practical ways to
reduce the drift ratio
of the building.
