An Optimized Bracing System for Distributed Lateral Loads
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most crucial components of a tall building is its lateral loading system. In this paper, we provide the development of a lateral bracing system that results in bracing material savings of up to 50% relative to a traditional X-Bracing system, as well as lighter corner columns due to the more efficient load paths of the lateral forces to the base. The solution naturally follows a linearized funicular curve, and the result provides a reasonable and replicable system from a manufacturing standpoint.

A Simple Approach to Static Analysis of Tall Buildings with a Combined Tube-in-tube and Outrigger-belt Truss System Subjected to Lateral Loading
In this paper, an efficient technique is presented for static analysis of tall buildings with combined tube-in-tube and outrigger-belt truss system while considering shear lag effects. In the process of replacing the discrete structure with an elastically equivalent continuous one, the structure is modeled as two parallel cantilevered flexural-shear beams that are constrained at the outrigger-b...

Nowadays, due to the escalation in construction of high-rise structures, the need for selecting a proper resistant structural system against earthquake and wind has increased significantly. These systems should show an optimized use of materials and should be presented as a hard and efficient structure. A good example of a high efficient system in high-rise buildings can be indicated is, the tu...

In this paper, based on Kelvin and Linear Standard Solid models, dynamic response and the buckling load of a viscoelastic beam under lateral and axial loads have been determined. The governing equations have been extracted using Euler and Timoshenko theories and their analytical solutions have been obtained by using the eigenfunctions expansion method. Buckling load have been calculated by us...

“Cold-formed steel (CFS) stud walls” are innovative alternative for construction of walls in buildings. The main frames of CFS walls consist of a group of vertical members called “studs” which are hold by fasteners within two horizontal members called “tracks” at the upper and lower ends. One of the conventional ways for designing and analyzing of CFS stud walls under blast loading is to employ...
