DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR OUT-OF-PLANE RESPONSE CONTROL OF CANTILEVERED RC WALL CONNECTED BY ROLLER SUPPORTS TO METAL SPATIAL ROOF

In steel roof gymnasiums with RC substructures, out-of-plane response of cantilevered walls are predominant during seismic responses, which triggers sequential damages structural or non-structural components. Detailed regulations have been not included in the current Japanese building code yet even though Gymnasium is used as a shelter disaster. this paper, design procedure for control wall connected by roller supports to metal spatial was proposed. While many researchers proposed evaluation methods walls, those too complicated be implemented actual process. Therefore, carefully formulated based on engineer’s practice. The equation derived from both equivalent linear approach simulating damping effect and continuum mechanics where modeled single beam plate. Section 2, detailed (the scope, criteria, load process) explained engineers. 3, derivation process equations explained. Both plate secant bending stiffness members yielding. 4, values compared numerical simulation results damage gymnasia. 5, shake table testing 1/2.5-scaled model school gymnasium. summary, following were obtained:
