Abstract:

At present, the tubular structural systems are mainly used in tall buildings to withstand earthquake loads. Although it is possible to analyse the structure by finite element methods using standard three dimensional programs, the system is generally time-consuming and expensive in the primary design work. In this paper, for the analysis of Framed-Tube systems, a simple method was studied and developed for Bundled-Tube systems and corresponding formulas for horizontal and vertical deflections were obtained. By replacing the discrete structure with and equivalent tube or replacing the multicell tube with orthotropic plates and making simple assumptions regarding the stress distributions in the structure, simple Closed-Form solutions using the were obtained. Standard load cases including uniformly distributed load, triangularly distributed load, and point load at the top were applied. By this method, a new computer program was developed, called TSAP (Tubular Structural Analysis Program). The <> results were compared with more accurate results obtained by famous finite element computer programs. The runtime for this program was about 2% of the runtime for other existing programs.

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...

Alongwind Static Equivalent Wind Loads and Responses of Tall Buildings. Part I: Unfavorable Distributions of Static Equivalent Wind Loads

Although on the same theoretical basis, the current standards of major countries have set out two evidently different distributions of along-wind static equivalent wind loads, one is the same as the mean wind force and the other is the same as the first mode shape, on tall buildings. In this paper, the fluctuating static equivalent wind load is evaluated as mean, background and resonant compone...

Aerodynamic Loads on Tall Buildings: Interactive Database

Under the action of wind, tall buildings oscillate simultaneously in the alongwind, acrosswind, and torsional directions. While the alongwind loads have been successfully treated using quasi-steady and strip theories in terms of gust loading factors, the acrosswind and torsional loads cannot be treated in this manner, since these loads cannot be related in a straightforward manner to the fluctu...

A CLOSED FORM SOLUTION FOR FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF TUBE-IN-TUBE SYSTEMS IN TALL BUILDINGS

In this paper the dynamic response of tube-in-tube systems for tall building structures is investigated. Inner and outer tubes are modeled using equivalent continuous orthotropic membranes; in which, each tube is individually modeled by a cantilever box beam. By applying the compatibility conditions on deformation of the two tubes, the governing dynamic equations of the tube-in-tube structure a...
