Analysis of 3D multi-storey building numerical models including floor slabs and shear walls depending on the connection type in the steel structure

Multi-storey steel buildings are usually designed with rigid connections between beams and columns or simple hinged a stiffening system. The paper focuses on the 3D structural design of multi-storey including floor slabs shear walls. method numerical modelling has been applied to investigate influence certain elements lateral stiffness building structure, when walls considered in design. Four heights six system types, having same plan have examined. models configured FEM software evaluate structures exposed gravity seismic loads. maximum horizontal deflections natural periods vibrations presented paper. It concluded that connection type structure no significant considers
