INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
In recent years, Bangladesh has a growing trend towards construction of 15 to 30 storied
buildings, almost all of these are being situated in Dhaka. The taller and more slender a
building is, the more important the structural factors become and the more necessary it is to
choose an appropriate structural form. In addition to satisfy nonstructural requirements, the
principal objectives in choosing a building’s structural form is to arrange to support the
gravity, dead and live load and to resist at all levels the external horizontal load and shear,
moment and torque with adequate strength and stiffness. These requirements should be
achieved as economically as possible. A major step forward in reinforced concrete high-rise
structural form comes with the introduction of shear walls for resisting horizontal load. The
structural form of the tall building is concerned mainly with the arrangement of the primary
vertical components and their interconnections. The column spacing is usually governed by
the car parking requirement at ground level. The columns are connected by rigid beams. 125
mm / 250 mm thick brick walls are used as partition wall between two flats in apartment
buildings. Generally there are no openings in these walls and hence it may be replaced by
reinforced concrete shear wall. A numerical comparative study of different structural system
is done using finite element package program. To calculate the design wind pressure and
earthquake base shear, the loads are taken from method proposed in BNBC. For quick
estimation of design wind pressure and earthquake force for specific criteria some graphs are
presented. Any necessary value or interpolated value is taken from the graph directly.
1.2 Objectives of the Study
A 16-storied building is selected to study the behaviour of different structural models under
lateral loads. For simplicity of 2-D analysis, a typical transverse bay is considered for
analysis. The specified bay is idealized as different models and a comparative performance is
carried out. The main objectives of the research may be stated as follows:
To determine the efficient structural system against lateral loads.
1
To study the effect of different parameters on model frames due to wind pressure and
earthquake forces.
To study different modeling techniques for high rise building structures.
To study the effect of column size, shear wall thickness, coupling beam size etc. on
lateral drift.
To study the stresses in infilled material.
1.3 Scope of the Study
The project work has been aimed to determine the efficient structural system due to lateral
loads on high rise building. The study has been performed through a set of structural models
with the elastic analyses by a professional structural software, STAAD –III. This is
performed only on the basis of some limited criteria, these are relative stiffness of model
frames, bending moments in connecting beams and stresses in infill material of different
model frames. For these purpose only, the typical bay of a 16-storied building is modelled by
different alternately adopted structural systems. These are Rigid Frame model, Infill Frame
model, Coupled Wall model (with auxiliary beam connection), Coupled Wall model (without
auxiliary beam connection) and Equivalent Wide Column model.
1.4 Methodology
To study the behaviour of 16-storied high rise building against lateral loads, a typical bay is
studied by alternative structural systems. The following items are executed on the specified
typical bay consideration.
a. A limited parametric study is carried out to control the lateral sway of the high rise
building. The top deflection of the structure and the stresses in the structural members
for various structural forms are presented graphically in detail.
b. A short direction bay of a 16-storied office building is considered for lateral load
analysis. Wind load and Earthquake load are taken as lateral loads.
The specified bay is modeled by three structural systems,
1. Rigid Frame model
2. Infilled Frame model
3. Coupled Wall model
2
The Coupled Wall is modeled into three structural sub models as
i. Coupled Wall model (without auxiliary beam)
ii. Coupled Wall model (with auxiliary beam)
iii. Equivalent Wide Column model
The total five models are then analyzed with the aforesaid software.

bending deformation are considered during the analysis. Modeling of shear wall in 2-D
analysis is done using the concept of rigid end condition between columns and beams.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
Recently there has been being a considerable increase in the number of tall buildings both
residential and commercial. The modern trend is towards taller and more slender structures.
Thus, the effects of lateral load like wind load and earthquake load etc. are attaining
increasing importance and almost every designer is faced with the problem of providing
adequate strength and stability against lateral loads. This is a new development in
Bangladesh, as the earlier building designers usually designed for the vertical loads only and
as an afterthought checked, the final design for the lateral loads as well.
Tall building is analyzed by idealizing the structure into simple two-dimensional or more
refined three-dimensional continuums. In two-dimensional methods several approximations
are made and particular column line is chosen to analyze the building, in which total
effectiveness of the building is not achieved. On the other hand, in three-dimensional
analysis, the whole building is taken into consideration and thus, the structure is modeled
more realistically.
Several commercial software are available for two and three-dimensional analysis of
structures. Where as software for two-dimensional analysis are usually inexpensive, the same
for the three-dimensional analysis may be very expensive and not quite easy to use. Since
designers of moderately high rise buildings very often adopt two-dimensional analysis
methods in the design office for simplicity and for comprehensive analysis three-dimensional
method is obvious.

2.2 Structural System
From the structural engineer’s point of view, the determination of the structural system of a
high rise building is ideally involved only the selection and arrangement of the major
structural elements to resist most efficiently the various combinations of gravity and
horizontal loads. In reality, however, the choice of structural system is usually strongly
influenced by other than structural considerations. Several factors have to be taken into
account in deciding the structural systems. These include the internal planning, the material
and method of construction, the external architectural treatment, location and routing of the
service systems, the nature and the magnitude of the horizontal loads, the height and the
structural system etc. The taller is the building, it is more critical to choose an appropriate
structural system.
A major consideration affecting the structural system is the function of the building. Modern
office buildings call for large open spaces that can be subdivided with lightweight
partitioning to suit the individual tenant’s needs. Consequently, main vertical components are
generally arranged, as far as possible, around the perimeter of the plan and, internally, in
group around the elevator, stair, and service lifts. The floor areas between the exterior and
interior components, leaving large column free areas available for office planning. The
services are distributed horizontally in each story above the partitioning and are usually
concealed in a ceiling space. The extra depth required by this space causes typical story
height in an office building to be 3000 mm or more.
A major step forward in reinforced concrete high rise structural system comes with the
introduction of shear walls for resisting horizontal load. This is the first in a series of
significant developments in the structural systems of concrete high rise buildings, freeing
them from the previous 20 to 25 story height limitations of the rigid frame and flat plate
systems. The innovation and refinement of these new systems, together with the development
of higher strength concrete, has allowed the height of concrete buildings to reach within
striking distance of 100 stories.
2.2.1 Rigid Frame
A rigid frame high-rise structure typically comprises parallel or orthogonally arranged bents
consisting of columns and beams with moment resistance joints (Fig. 2.1). The lateral
stiffness of a rigid frame bent depends on the bending stiffness of the columns, beams, and
5
connections in the plane of bent. The rigid frame’s principal advantage is its open rectangular
arrangement, which allows freedom of planning and easy fitting of doors and windows. If
used as the only source of lateral resistance in a building, in its typical 6m to 9m bay size,
rigid framing is economical only for buildings up to 25 stories. Above that the relatively high
lateral flexibility of the frame calls for uneconomically large members in order to control the
drift.
Rigid frame construction is ideally suited for reinforced concrete buildings because of the
inherent rigidity of reinforced concrete joints. The rigid frame system is also used for steel
buildings, but moment resistant connections in steel tend to be costly. The sizes of the
columns and beams at any level of rigid frame are directly influenced by the magnitude of
the external shear at that level, and they therefore increase toward the base.
Column
Beam
Fig. 2.1 Rigid frame
Gravity load also is resisted by the rigid frame action. Negative moments are induced in the
beams adjacent to the columns reducing the mid-span positive moment significantly
compared to a simply supported span. In structures in where gravity loads dictate the design,
economies in member sizes from this effect tend to be offset by the higher cost of the rigid
joints. While rigid frames of a typical scale that serve alone to resist lateral load have an
economic height limit of about 25 stories. Smaller scale rigid frames in the form of perimeter
tube, or typically scaled rigid frames in combination with shear wall or braced bent, can be
economic up to much greater heights.
2.2.1.1 Behaviour of Rigid Frame Structure under Lateral Load
The horizontal stiffness of a rigid frame is governed mainly by bending resistance of the
beams, the columns, and their connections and in tall frame, by the axial rigidity of the
columns. The accumulated horizontal shear above any story of a rigid frame is resisted by
6
shear in the columns of that story. The shear causes the story height columns to bend in
double curvature with points of contra-flexure at approximately mid story height levels. The
moments applied to a joint from the columns above and below are resisted by the attached
beams, which also bend in double curvature, with points of contra-flexure at approximately
mid span.
The overall moment of the external horizontal load is resisted in each story level by the
couple resulting from the axial tensile and compressive forces in the columns on opposite
sides of the structure. The extension and shortening of the columns cause overall bending and
associated horizontal displacements of the structure. Because of the cumulative rotation up
the height, the story drift due to overall bending increases with height, while that due to
racking tends to decrease.
Consequently the contribution to story drift from overall bending may, in the uppermost
stories, exceed that from racking. The contribution of overall bending to the total drift,
however, will usually not exceed 10% than of that racking, except in very tall, slender, rigid
frames. Therefore the over all deflected shape of a high rise rigid frame usually has a shear
configuration.
2.2.2 Shear Wall
A shear wall structure is considered to one whose resistance to horizontal load is provided
entirely by shear wall (Fig. 2.2). The walls are part of a service core or a stair well, or they
serve as partitions between accommodations. They are usually continuous down to the base
to which they are rigidly attached to form vertical cantilever.
Shear wall
Fig. 2.2 Plan of shear wall
Their high inplane stiffness and strength makes them well suited for bracing buildings up to
about 35 stories, while simultaneously carrying gravity loads. It is usual to locate the walls
on plan, so that, they attract an amount of gravity dead load sufficient to suppress the
maximum tensile bending stresses in the wall caused by lateral load. In this situation, only
7
minimum wall reinforcement is required. The term “shear wall” is in some way a misnomer
because the walls deform predominately in flexure. Shear walls are planar, but are often of L,
T, I or U shaped section to better suit the planning and to increase their flexural stiffness.
2.2.2.1 Behaviour of Shear Wall Structure under Lateral Load
High rise building typically comprises an assembly of shear walls whose length and
thickness changes or not. It is discontinued or not through the height. The effect of such
variations creates complex redistribution of the moments and shears between the walls, with
associated horizontal interactive forces in the connecting beams and slabs. To understand the
behaviour of shear wall structures, they are classified as proportionate and non-proportionate
systems.
A proportionate system is one in which the ratios of the flexural rigidities of the walls remain
constant through the height. As for example, two walls connected by beams whose lengths do
not change throughout the height, but whose changed walls thickness are same at any level,
is proportionate. Proportionate systems of walls do not cause any redistribution of shears and
moments at the changed levels. The statically determinacy of proportionate systems allows
the analysis is done by consideration of equilibrium. The external moment and shear on non-
twisting structures are distributed between the walls simply in proportion to the flexural
rigidities.
A non-proportionate system is one in which the ratios of the walls flexural rigidities are not
constant through the height. At levels where the rigidities change, redistribution of the wall
shear and moments occur, corresponding horizontal interactions in the connecting beams and
the possibility of very high local shears in the walls. Non proportionate structures are
statically indeterminate. Hence it is more difficult to visualize the behaviour and analyze.
2.2.3 Shear Wall-Frame
A structure whose resistance to horizontal load is provided by a combination of shear walls
and rigid frames may be categorized as a wall-frame structure. The shear walls are often parts
of the elevator and service cores while the frames are arranged in plan, in conjunction with
the walls, to support the floor system.
8
When a wall-frame structure is loaded laterally, the different free deflected forms of the walls
and the frames cause them to interact horizontally, through the floor slabs. Consequently, the
individual distribution of lateral load on the wall and the frames are very different from the
distribution of the external load. The horizontal interaction is effective in contributing to
lateral stiffness to the extent that wall-frame of up to 50 stories or more are economical. If the
wall-frame structures that do not twist and, therefore, that is analyzed as equivalent planar
models which are mainly plan-symmetric structures, subjected to symmetric load. Structures
that are asymmetric about the axis of loading inevitably twist.
The potential advantages of a wall-frame structure depend on the amount of horizontal
interaction, which is governed by the relative stiffness of the walls and frames, and the height
of the structure. The taller the building and, in typically proportioned structures, the stiffer
the frames, the greater is the interaction. It is used to be common practice in the design of
high rise structure to assume that the shear walls or cores resist all lateral loads, and to design
the frames for gravity load only. This assumption would incur little error for buildings of less
than 20 stories with flexible frames.
The principal advantages of accounting for the horizontal interaction in designing a wall-
frame structure are as follows (Coul, 1991):
i. The estimated drift is significantly less than if the walls alone are considered to resist
the horizontal load.
ii. The estimated bending moments in the walls or cores are less.
iii. The columns of the frames are designed as fully braced.
iv. The estimated shear in the frames in many cases is approximately uniform throughout
the height.
2.2.3.1 Behaviour of Shear Wall-Frame under Lateral Load
Considering the separate horizontal stiffness at the top of a typical 10-storied elevator core
and typical rigid frame of the same height, the core is 10 or more times as stiffer as the
frame. If the same core and frame are extended to a height of 20 stories, the core is then only
approximately three times as stiffer as the frame. At 50 stories the core is reduced to being
only half as stiff the frame. The change in the relative top stiffness with the total height,
occurs because of the top flexibility of the core. It behaves as a flexural cantilever, is
proportioned to the cube of the height, where as the flexibility of the frame, which behaves as
9
shear cantilever, is directly proportioned to its height. Consequently, height is a major factor
in determining the influence of the frame on the lateral stiffness of the wall-frame.
A further understanding of the interaction between the wall and the frame in a wall-frame
structure is given by the deflected shapes of the shear wall and a rigid frame subjected
separately to horizontal load, Fig. 2.3 and 2.4.

The wall deflects in a flexural mode with concavity downward and a maximum slope at the
top, while the frame deflects in a shear mode with concavity upward and a maximum slope at
the base. When the wall and frame are connected together by a pin ended links and subjected
to horizontal load, the deflected shape of the composite structure has a flexural profile in the
lower part and a shear profile in the upper part.
2.2.4 Coupled Shear Wall
In many practical situations, however, walls are connected by moment resisting members.
Walls in residential buildings are perforated by vertical rows of openings that are required for
windows on external gable walls or for doorways or corridors in internal walls.
Wall centroidal axisShear wallCoupling beam
Fig.2.5 Coupled shear wall
The walls are connected by beam or floor slabs serve as connecting beams to produce a shear
interaction between the two in plane cross walls (Fig. 2.5). Such structures, which consist of
walls that are connected by bending resistant elements, are termed “Coupled shear wall,” in
which the presence of the moment resisting connections greatly increases the stiffness and
efficiency of the wall system.
2.2.4.1 Behaviour of Coupled Shear Wall Structures under Lateral Load
The coupled walls when deflect under the action of the lateral loads, the connecting beam’s
ends are forced to rotate and displace vertically, so that the beams bend in double curvature
and thus resist the free bending of the walls. The bending action induce shears in the
connecting beams, which exert bending moments on each walls, tensile in the wind ward
wall and compressive in the leeward wall. The wind moment M at any level is then resisted
by the sum of the bending moments M1 and M2 in the two walls (Fig. 2.5) at that level. The
moment of the axial force is Nl, where N is the axial force in each wall at that level and l is
the distance between their centroidal axes.
M = M1 + M2 + Nl (2.1)
11
The last term represents the reverse moment caused by the bending of the connecting beams,
those oppose the free bending of the individual walls. This term is zero in the case of linked
walls, and reaches a maximum when the connecting beams are infinity rigid.
The action of the connecting beams is then to reduce the magnitudes of the moments in the
two walls by causing a proportion of the applied moment to be carried by axial forces.
Because of the relatively larger lever arm l involved, a relatively small axial stress gives rise
to a disproportionally larger moment of resistance. The maximum tensile stress in concrete is
greatly reduced. This makes it easier to suppress the wind or earthquake local tensile stresses
by gravity load compressive stresses.
2.2.5 Infilled-Frame
In many countries infilled frame (Fig.2.6a) is the most usual form of construction for high
rise buildings of up to 30-stories height. Column and beam framing of reinforced concrete, or
sometimes steel, is infilled by panels of brickwork, block work, or cast-in-place concrete.
When an infilled frame is subjected to lateral load, the infill behaves effectively as a strut
along its compression diagonal to brace the frame, Fig. 2.6b.
The infills serve also as an external wall or internal partitions, the system is an economical
way of stiffening and strengthening the structure.

12
In non-earthquake regions where the wind forces/earthquake forces not severe, the masonry
infilled concrete frame is one of the most common structural forms for high rise construction.
The infilled are presumed to contribute sufficiently to the lateral strength of the structure for
it to withstand the horizontal load. The simplicity of construction with skilled expertise in
building such type of structures have made the infilled frame one of the most rapid and
economical structural forms for tall buildings. Their use in earthquake regions, therefore, is
provided with the additional provision that the walls are reinforced and anchored into the
surrounding frame with sufficient strength to withstand their own transverse infilled forces.
2.2.5.1 Behaviour of Infiled Frames under Lateral Load
Masonry use in infill to brace a frame combines some of the desirable structural
characteristics of each, while overcoming some of their deficiencies. Due to high in-plane
rigidity of the masonry wall, it gives more stiffness to the wall than relatively flexible frame.
The ductile frame contains the brittle masonry and when it cracks up to certain loads and
displacement much larger than it is achieved without the masonry infill. The result is,
therefore, a relatively stiff and tough bracing system. The wall braces the frame partly by its
behaviour as a diagonal bracing strut in the frame (Fig. 2.6). Three potential modes of failure
of the wall arise as a result of its interaction with the frame. The first is a shear failure
stepping down through the joints of the masonry and precipitated by the horizontal shear
stresses in the bed joints. The second is a diagonal crack of the wall through the masonry
along a line, or lines, parallel to the leading diagonal and caused by the tensile stresses
perpendicular the leading diagonal. The “perpendicular” tensile stresses are caused by the
divergence of the compressive stress trajectories on opposite sides of the load diagonal as
they approach the middle region of the infill. The diagonal crack is initiated at and spreads
from the middle of the infill, where the tensile stresses are a maximum, tending to stop near
the compressive corners, where the tension is suppressed. In the third mode of failure, a
corner of the infill at one of the ends of the diagonal strut some times is crushed against the
frame due to the high compressive stresses in the corner. The nature of the forces in the
frame can be understood by referring to the analogous braced frame Fig. 2.6b. The forward
column is in tension and the leeward column is in compression.
13
2.2.5.2 Stresses in Infill
When the lateral loads are subjected on the Infill frame, stresses are generated in the infill
materials. Mainly three types of stresses are formed. They are shear stress, tensile stress and
compressive stress. Shear stress is related to combination of shear stress and normal stress
and it follows Coulomb’s Law up to certain normal stress. Diagonal deformation of block
bounded by beam and column produces diagonal tension in the infill that causes failure in
tension. Mortar goes more strain than brick in masonry by compressive force that causes
tensile stress in brick. Ultimately the corner block fails in tension.
a. Shear Failure
Shear failure of the infill is related to the combination of shear and normal stresses induced at
points in the infill when the frame bears on it as the structure is subjected to the external
lateral shear. Lot of series of plane-stress membrane finite element analyses have shown that
the critical values of this combination of stresses occur at the center of the infill and they are
expressed empirically, given by Coull (1991)
Shear stress, (2.2)
Vertical compressive stress, (2.3)
Where, Q is the horizontal shear load applied by the frame to the infill of the length L, height
h, and thickness t.
b. Diagonal Tensile Failure
Consequently, diagonal crack of the infill is related to the maximum value of the diagonal
tensile stress in the infill. It also happens at the center of the infill and based on the results of
the analysis, it is expressed empirically as diagonal tensile stress,
(2.4)
These stresses are governed mainly by the properties of the infill material. They are little
influenced by the stiffness properties of the frame because, it occurs at the center of the infill
away from the region of contact with the frame.
14
c. Compressive Failure of the Corners
Experiment on model infilled frames have shown that the length of bearing of each story-
height column against its adjacent infill is governed by flexural stiffness of the column
relative to the in-plane bearing stiffness of the infill. The stiffer the column, the longer the
length of bearing and the lower the compressive stresses at this interface. The length of
column bearing is estimated by, (2.5a)
(2.5b)
Where,
Em is the elastic modulus of the masonry and EI is the flexural rigidity of the column.
The parameter expresses the bearing stiffness of the infill relative to the flexural rigidity of
the column. The stiffer the column, the smaller the value of and the longer the length of
bearing.
It is considered that when the corner of the infill crushes, the masonry bearing against the
column within the length is at the masonry ultimate compressive stress f’m, then the
corresponding ultimate horizontal shear Q’c on the infill is given by,
(2.6a)
If the allowable horizontal shear is Qc on the infill, and consider a value for E/Em is 3 for
reinforced concrete frame. The allowable horizontal shear Qc for a reinforced concrete
framed infill is,
(2.6b)
Where, fm is allowable compressive stress of infill.
From above equation it is shown that the masonry compressive strength and the wall
thickness have the most direct influence on the infill strength while the column inertia and
infill height less effect on the infill strength because of their fourth root.

2.3 Review of Lateral Loads
Loads on high rise buildings differs from loads on low rise buildings in its accumulation into
much larger structural forces, in the increased significance of wind load, and in the greater
importance of dynamic effect. The collection of gravity load over a large number of stories in
a high rise building produces column loads of an order higher than low-rise buildings. Wind
load on a high rise building acts not only over a very large building surface, but also with
greater intensity at the greater heights and with a large moment arm about the base than on a
low-rise building. Although wind load over a low-rise building usually insignificant
influence on the design of the structure, wind on a high rise building has a dominant
influence on its structural arrangement and design. In an extreme case of a very slender or
16
flexible structure, the motion of the building in the wind is considered in assessing the load
applied by the wind.
In earthquake regions, any internal loads from the shaking of the ground well exceed the load
due to wind, therefore, be dominant in influencing the building’s structural system, design,
and cost. As an internal problem, the building’s dynamic response plays a large part in
influencing, and in estimating, the effective load on the structure.
With the exception of dead load, the loads on a building are not assessed accurately. While
maximum gravity live loads are anticipated approximately from previous field observations,
wind and earthquake loads are random in nature, more difficult to measure from past events,
and even more difficult to predict with confidence. The application of probabilistic theory
has helped to rationalize, if not in every case to simply, the approaches to estimate wind and
earthquake loads.
2.3.1 Wind load A mass of air moving at a certain velocity has a kinetic energy, equal to ½ MV2, where M
and V are the mass and velocity of air in motion. When an obstacle like a building is met in
its path, a part of the kinetic energy of air in motion gets converted to potential energy of
pressure. The actual intensity wind pressure depends on a number of factors like angle of
incidence of the wind, roughness of surrounding area, effects of architectural features, i,e.
shape of the structure etc. and lateral resistance of the structure. Apart from these, the
maximum design wind load pressure depends on the duration and amplitude of the gusts and
the probability of occurrence of an exceptional wind in the lifetime of building. It is possible
to take into account the above factors in determining the wind pressure.
The lateral load due to wind is the major factor that causes the design of high rise buildings
to differ from those of low rise to medium rise buildings. For buildings of up to about 10
storied and of typical properties and the design is rarely affected by the wind loads. Above
this height, however, the increase in size of the structural members, and the possible
rearrangement of the structure to account for wind load, incurs a cost premium that increases
progressively with height. With innovations in architectural treatment, increase in the
strengths of materials, and advances in method of analysis, tall building structures become
more efficient and lighter and, consequently, more prone to deflect and even to sway under
wind load.

2.3.1.1 Determination of Design Wind Load
Wind is the general word for air naturally in motion, which by virtue of the mass and velocity
possesses kinetic energy. If an obstacle is placed in the path of the wind so that the moving
air is stopped or deflected from its path, then all or part of the kinetic energy of the moving
air is transformed into pressure (Fig. 2.7 & 2.8). The intensity of pressure at any point on an
obstacle depends on the shape of the obstacle, the angle of the incidence of the wind, the
velocity and density of the air, and the lateral stiffness of the engaged structure.
Under the action of a natural wind, a tall building is continually buffeted by gusts and others
aerodynamic forces. The structure deflects about a mean position and will oscillate
continuously.
If the wind energy that is absorbed by the structure is larger than the energy dissipated by the
structural damping, then the amplitude of oscillation continues to increase and finally leads to
destruction and the structure comes aerodynamically unstable.
These factors have increased the importance of wind as a design consideration. For
estimations of the overall stability of a structure and of the local pressure distribution on the
building, knowledge of the maximum steady or time averaged wind loads is usually
sufficient.
2.3.1.2 Methods for Determining Wind Load
Here, two methods are described. The first method is Quasi-Static method (static approach),
in that it assumes the building is fixed rigid body in the wind. Quasi-Static method is
appropriate for tall building, slenderness or susceptibility to vibration in the wind. The
18
second method is Dynamic Method. It is appropriate for exceptionally tall, slender or
vibration-prone building. The two methods are described in UBC.
a. Quasi-Static Method
The quasi-static method has generally proved satisfactory. However, in very tall and slender
buildings, aerodynamics instability may develop. This is because of the fact that during a
windstorm and the building is constantly buffeted by gusts and starts vibrating in its
fundamental mode. If the energy absorbed by the building is more than the energy it can
dissipate by structural damping, the amplitude of the vibration goes on increasing till failure
occurs. A detailed study supported by wind tunnel experiments is often necessary in this
case.
It is representative of modern static methods of estimating wind load in that it accounts for
the effects of gust and for local extreme pressures over the faces of the building. It also
accounts for local differences in exposure between the open country side and a city center, as
well as allowing for vital facilities such as hospitals, state bank, power station, and fire and
police stations, whose safety must be ensured for use after an extreme wind storm.
The determination of wind design forces on a structure is basically a dynamic problem.
However, for reasons of tradition and for simplicity, it has been used practice to use a quasi-
static approach and treat wind as a statically applied pressure, neglecting its dynamic nature.
The wind has calculated as per following section, 2.3.2.
Some of the considerations that enter into the choice of design wind pressure are,
The anticipated life time of the structure and its relation to the return period of maximum
wind velocity
The duration of gusts
The magnitude of gusts
Variation of wind speed with height
Angle of inclination of the wind
Influence of the ground
Influence of the architectural features
Influence of the internal pressure
Lateral resistance of structure

b. Dynamic Method
If the building is exceptionally slender or tall, if it is located in extremely severe exposure
condition, the effective wind load on the building is increased by dynamic interaction
between the motion of the building and the gust of the wind. If it is possible to allow for it in
the budget of the building, the best method of assessing such dynamic effects is by wind
tunnel tests. For buildings that are not so extreme as to demand a wind tunnel test, but for
which the simple design procedure is inadequate, alternative dynamic methods of estimating
the wind load by calculation have been developed.
i. Wind Tunnel Experimental Method
Wind tunnel tests to determine load is quasi steady for determining the static pressure
distribution on a building. The pressure coefficients so developed are then used in calculating
the full-scale load through on of the prescribed method. This approach is satisfactory for
building whose motion is negligible and therefore has little effect on the wind load.
If the building slenderness or flexibility is such that its response to excitation by the energy
of the gusts may significantly influence the effective wind load, the wind tunnel test is a fully
dynamic one. In this case, the elastic structural properties and the mass distribution of the
building as well as the relevant characteristics of the wind are modeled.
Building models for wind tunnel test are constructed with a scale of 1:400 being common
(Coull, 1991). Tall buildings typically exhibit a combination of shear and bending behaviour
that has a fundamental sway mode comprising a flexurally shaped lower region and a
relatively linear upper region. This is represented approximately in wind tunnel tests by a
rigid model with flexurally sprung base. It is not necessary in such a model to represent the
distribution of mass in the building, but only its moment of inertia about the base.
The wind characteristics that are generated in the wind tunnel are the vertical profile of the
horizontal velocity, the turbulence intensity and the power spectral density of the longitudinal
component, special “ boundary layer” wind tunnels have been designed to generate those
characteristics. Some use long working sections in which the boundary layer develops
naturally over a rough floor, others shorter ones include grids, fences, or spires at the test
section entrance together with a rough floor, while some activate the boundary layer by jets
or driven flops. The working sections of the tunnel are up to a maximum of about 1.8 sq. m
(20 sq.ft) and it operates at atmospheric pressure.
20
ii. Analytical MethodWind tunnel testing is a highly specialized, complex, and expensive procedure, and is
justified only for very high cost projects. To bridge up the gap between those buildings that
require only a simple approach to wind load and those that clearly demand a wind tunnel
dynamic test, more detailed analytical methods have been developed that allow the dynamic
wind load. The method described here is based on the pioneering work of Davenport and is
now included in the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC).
The external pressure or suction P on the surface of the building is obtained using the basic
equation.
p = qCcCGCp (2.7)
q = wind dynamic pressure for a minimum basic 50 years wind speed at a height of 10m
above ground
Cc = exposure factor is based on a mean wind speed vertical profile
CG = gust effect factor is the ratio of the expected peak loading to the mean loading effect.
Cp = external pressure coefficient averaged over the area of the surface considered.
2.3.2 Code Provisions for Wind Load
The minimum design wind load on buildings and components is determined based on the
velocity of the wind, the shape and size of the building and the terrain exposure condition of
the site. Provision to the calculation of design wind loads for the primary framing system and
for the individual structural components of the buildings. Provisions are included for forces
due to along-wind (Fig. 2.7) response of regular shaped building, caused by the common
wind-storms including cyclones, thunder-storms and norwesters.
a. Basic Wind Speed
The basic wind speed for the design is taken from basic wind speed map of Bangladesh
(BNBC,1993), where it is in km/h for any location in Bangladesh, having isotachs
representing the fastest-mile wind speed at 10 meters above the ground with terrain exposure
B for a 50 years recurrence interval. The minimum value of the basic wind speed set in the
map is 130 km / h and maximum is 260 km / h.
21
b. Exposure Category
Exposure A: Urban and sub-urban areas, industrial areas, wooded areas, hilly or other
terrain covering at least 20 percent of the area with obstructions of 6 meters or more in height
and extending from the site at least 500 meters or 10 times the height of the structure, which
ever is greater.
Exposure B: Open terrain with scattered obstruction having heights generally less than 10
m extending 800 m or more from the site in any full quadrant. This category includes
airfields, open park land, sparely built up out skirts of towns, flat open country and grass
land.
Exposure C: Flat and unobstructed open terrain, coastal areas and riversides facing large
bodies of water, over 1.5 km or more in width. Exposure C extends inland from the shoreline
400 m or 10 times the height of structure, whichever greater. The basic wind speed for
selected locations in Bangladesh are given in Appendix A, Table A.4.1
c. Sustained Wind Pressure
The sustained wind pressure, qz on a building surface at any height z above the ground can be
calculated from the following relation,
qz = CcCICzVb2 (2.8)
qz = sustained wind pressure at height z , kN / m2
CI = structural importance coefficient as given in Appendix A, Table A.4.2
Cc = velocity to pressure conversion coefficient = 47.2 x 10 -6
Cz= combined height and exposure coefficient, Table 3.2 and Fig. 3.2
Vb = basic wind speed in km/h obtained from Appendix A, Table A.4.1
d. Design Wind Pressure
The design wind pressure, Pz for a structure or an element of a structure at any height z
above mean ground level is determined from relation,
Pz = CGCpqz (2.9)
Pz = design wind pressure at height z, kN / m2
CG = gust coefficient which is either Gz , or Gh to be from Table 3.3
e. Gust Response Factor, Gh for Non-slender Buildings (BNBC, 1993)
For the main wind force resisting system of non-slender buildings and structures, the value of
the gust response factor, Gh is determined from Table 3.3 and Fig. 3.3 evaluated at height h
22
above mean ground level of the building or structure. Height h, is defined as the mean roof
level or the top of the parapet, whichever is greater.
f. Gust Response Factor, Gz for Building Components
For components and cladding of all buildings and structures, the value of Gz is determined
from Table 3.3 and Fig. 3.3 evaluated at height z above the ground, where the component or
cladding under consideration is located on the structure.
Cp = Overall pressure coefficient for structure or component as in Table 3.1 and Fig. 3.1
g. Codes Approach for Wind Load
In Uniform Building Code (1994), building having a height greater than 123 m (400 ft) or a
height greater than five times their width, or with structures sensitive to wind excited
oscillations, dynamic wind load has to be calculated based National Building Code of Canada
(NBCC). Details of Dynamic Wind Load method is described in its supplement.
ANSI standard A58.1 (1982) contains the most comprehensive provisions concerning wind
load on structure.
The UBC and NBCC both assume that wind and earthquake loads need not are taken to act
simultaneously. The UBC considers the improbability of extreme gravity and wind or
earthquake, loads acting simultaneously allowing for the combination a one-third increase in
stress or 25% reduction in the sum of the gravity and wind load or earthquake load.
The NBCC approach allows for the improbability of the loads acting simultaneously. It
applies a reduction factor to the combined loads rather than to increase in the permissible
stresses, with greater reductions for the greater number of load types combined.
The ACI Code approach allows of a load factor of 1.7 for wind load in USD method and a
reduction factor of 0.75 when gravity and wind load is permitted together.
2.3.3 Earthquake Load
Earthquake load consists of the inertial forces of the building mass that result from the
shaking of its foundation by a seismic disturbance. Two methods are described here. The first
approach, termed the Equivalent Lateral Force method. It is simple estimate of the structure’s
fundamental period and the anticipated maximum ground acceleration or velocity, together
with relevant factors to determine a maximum base shear. The design forces used in the
equivalent static analysis are less than the actual forces imposed on the buildings by the
corresponding earthquake. The justification for using lower design forces includes the
23
potential for greater strength of the structure provided by the working stress level, the
damping provided by the building components.
The second method is Modal Method. The equivalent static method is suitable for the
majority of high-rise building. If the lateral load resisting elements or the vertical distribution
of mass are significantly irregular over the height of the building, or setbacks, an analysis
that takes greater consideration of the dynamic characteristics of the building is made. In
such cases, a modal method for analysis is appropriate.
a. Equivalent Lateral Force Method
This method is the most common approach, in this, the earthquake forces are treated as static
forces and the resulting stresses are calculated and checked against specified safe values.
This method is used for calculation of seismic lateral forces for all structural system. The
lateral forces specified in BNBC (1993), UBC (1994), ANSI are intended to be used as
equivalent static loads.
Determination of the Minimum Base Shear
This is an approximate method, which has evolved because of the difficulties involved in
carrying out realistic dynamic analysis. Code practices inevitably rely mainly on the simpler
static force approach and incorporate varying degrees of refinement in an attempt to simulate
the real behaviour of the structures. Basically, it gives a crude means of determining the total
horizontal force (base shear) V on a structure.
UBC (1994) uses equivalent horizontal static forces to design the building for maximum
earthquake motion. Using Newton’s second law of motion, the total lateral seismic force,
also called the base shear, is determined by the relation (Newton’s law),
V = Ma = F1 +F2 + F3 = m1a1 + m2a2 + m3a3 (2.10)
(2.11)
(2.12)
W = building weight
g = acceleration due to gravity
V = total horizontal seismic force over the height of the building
M = mass of the building
a = the maximum acceleration of the building
24
(2.13)
“C” seismic coefficient, which represents the ratio of maximum earthquake acceleration to
the acceleration due to gravity (Taranath, 1988) but in BNBC it refers as “Z”.
An important feature of equivalent static load requirements in most codes of practice till
2000, is the fact that the calculated seismic forces are considerably less than those which is
actually occur in the large earthquakes in the area concerned.
b. Modal Method
This method is based on linear elastic structural behaviour, employs the superposition of a
number of modal peak responses, as determined from a prescribed response spectrum. In a
modal analysis a lumped mass model of the building with horizontal degrees of freedom at
each floor is analyzed to determine the modal shapes and modal frequencies of vibration. The
results are then used in conjunction with an earthquake design response spectrum and
estimates of the modal damping to determine the probable maximum response of the
structure from the combined effect of its various modes of oscillation.
2.3.4 Code Provisions for Earthquake Load
The UBC states that the structure is designed for a minimum total lateral seismic load V,
which is assumed to act non concurrent in orthogonal directions parallel to the main axes of
the structure, where V is the calculated from the formula, UBC (1994), BNBC (1993) as
(2.14)
(2.15)
T = Ct hn3/4 (2.16)
V = base shear, Z = seismic zone coefficient, I = structural importance coefficient
R =response modification coefficient for structural systems, C = Numerical coefficient
W = total dead load + 25% live load in storage and warehouse occupancies
S = site coefficient for soil, T = fundamental period of vibration
Ct = 0.073 for reinforced concrete moment resisting frames and eccentrically braced steel
frames and 0.049 for all other structural systems
25
hn = height in meters above the base to level n.
The design base shear equation provides the level of the seismic design loading for a given
structural system, assuming that the structure undergoes inelastic deformation during a major
earthquake.
a. Vertical Distribution of Lateral Forces
The total design base shear V, is distributed over the height of the structure as described
below,
(2.17)
Ft is the concentrated lateral force applied at the top of the structure,
Ft = 0.07TV 0.25V (2.18)
= 0 for T 0.7 sec. (2.19)
The remaining portion of the base shear is distributed over the height of the structure,
including the top level n, according to the expression.
(2.20)
Wx wi = portion of W at x, i level, hx hi = height to x, i level
The design shear at any story, Vx equals the sum of the forces, Fi and Fx above that story. For
a building with a uniform mass distribution over the height, the lateral forces and story shears
are distributed as shown in fig. 2.9

b. Limitation of Height and Fundamental Time Period in Code Provisions for Earthquake Analysis
The main restriction that has been imposed by different codes to the Quasi-static method is
structural height. In every code regular and irregular structures of certain height is analyzed
by Quasi-static method. The height restriction is given by different codes.

c. Codes Approach for Earthquake Load
27
The principal design document in the United States for regions of high seismicity is the
Uniform Building Code (1994), which incorporates design criteria developed by the
Structural Engineers Association of California. The UBC (1994) allows structures to be
designed based on either equivalent static lateral loads or time history analysis of the
dynamic response of the structure. The method used to determine the loads depends on the
seismic zone and the type of structure. The simpler of two equivalent static loading method is
specified by the UBC under criteria for “minimum design lateral forces,” where as the more
complex equivalent static loading method, as well as the time history analyses, are specified
under “dynamic lateral force procedures.”
The ACI Code approach allows a load factor of 1.87 for earthquake load in USD method and
allowing a reduction factor 0.75 when gravity and earthquake load is permitted together in
USD and WSD method.
2.4 Methods of Analysis
The coupled shear wall structure is analyzed some times by either approximate method or
more accurate techniques. The frames are easy and more flexible to hand calculation, but
tend to be restricted to regular or quasi irregular structures and load systems. It deals with
irregular structures and complex loading, but require the services of a digital computer. The
method employed, generally depends on the structural layout and on the degree of accuracy
required.
The methods of analysis are detailed as follows:
i. Continuous Medium method
ii. Finite Element method
iii. Equivalent Wide Column Frame method
2.4.1 Continuous Medium Method
This is approximate method and it shows a wide understanding the behavior of coupled wall
structure and, at concurrently, gives a better qualitative and quantitative understanding of the
relative influence of the walls and the connecting beams or slab resisting horizontal loads.
The basic assumption made in the analysis are as follows (Coull, 1991):
28
i. The properties of the walls and connecting beams do not change over the height, and
the story heights are constant.
ii. Plane section before bending remains plane after bending for all structural members.
iii. The discrete set of connecting beams, each of flexural rigidity Eib, may be replaced
by an equivalent continuous connecting medium of flexural rigidity Eib/h per unit height,
where h is the story height, the inertia of the top beam should be half of the other beams.

iv. The walls deflect equally horizontally, as a result of the high in plane rigidity of the
surrounding floor slabs and the axial stiffness of the connecting beams. It follows that the
slopes of the walls are everywhere equal along the height, and thus, using a straight forward
application of the slope deflection equations. The connecting beams, and hence the
equivalent connecting medium, deforms with a point of contra flexure at mid span. It also
follows from this assumption that the curvature of the walls are equal throughout the height,
and also the bending moment in each wall is proportional to its flexural rigidity
v. The discrete set of axial forces, shear forces, and bending moments in the connecting
beams then is placed by equivalent continuous distributions of intensity n, q and m
respectively, per unit height (Fig. 2.10).

A = cross sectional area of two walls, I = moment of inertia of two walls
A1 = cross sectional area of wall w1, A2 = cross sectional area of wall w2
L = center distance of walls, h = each floor height
b = width of opening, Ib = moment of inertia of connecting beam
Ic = effective moment of inertia of connecting beam
30
l = distance between centroids of walls 1 and 2
= Poisson’s ratio (0.15) for concrete
d = total depth of coupling beam
(2.31)
For a given set of walls, with fixed dimensions, the value of kH is a measure of the stiffness
of the connecting beams, and it increases if either l, is increased or the clear span b is
decreased. If the connecting beams have negligible stiffness (kH=0) then the applied
moment M is resisted entirely by bending moments in the walls, and the axial force N is
negligible. If the connecting beams are rigid (kH = ), the structure behaves as a single
composite doweled beam, with a linear bending stress distribution across the entire section,
and zero stress at the neutral axis, which is situated at the centroid of the two walls elements.
The value of kH is thus define the degree of composite action and indicates the mode of
resistance to applied moments. If kH is large, say greater than 8, the beams are classed as
stiff and the structure tends to act like a composite cantilever. In between these values the
mode of action varies with the level concerned.
2.4.2 Finite Element Method
In coupled shear wall structures analysis, the most suitable method is equivalent frame
technique and it is the most versatile and accurate analytical method. But sometimes it
becomes difficult to model the structure with any degree of confidence using a frame of
beams and columns where notably with very irregular openings, or with complex support
conditions. The use of membrane finite elements is the only feasible alternative here. In this
technique, the surface concerned is divided into a series of elements, generally rectangular,
triangular, or quadrilateral in shape, connected at a discrete set of nodes on their boundaries.
Explicit or implicit forms of the corresponding stiffness matrices for different element shapes
are presented in the literature, enabling the structure stiffness matrices to be set up and solved
to give all nodal displacements and associates forces. A finite element analysis, rectangular
elements should be as square as possible, triangular elements should be equilateral, and
31
quadrilateral elements should be parallelograms with square sides, to achieve most accurate
results.
In a sense, it is consider the finite elements as pieces of the actual structure if recognizes that
the elements are connected to each other not only at the nodes but also at the sides. It is east
to see that if the pieces are held together only at the nodes, the structure is greatly weakened
because the elements separates along the mesh lines. Clearly, the actual structure does not
perform this way, so a finite element must deform in certain restricted ways. In formulating
this behavior, it is necessary to assure that adjacent elements do not behave as if saw cuts
were placed between them until only wisps of material at the nodes hold the pieces together.
a. The finite element method essentially consists of
i. Idealization of the structure into an assemblage of discrete elements
ii Selection of displacement function
iii Evaluation of stiffness of each element from its geometric and elastic properties
iv Assembly of the overall stiffness matrix from individual element stiffness matrices
v Modification of the stiffness matrix to take into account the boundary conditions
vi Solution of resulting equilibrium equations to obtain nodal displacements.
b. Calculation of Stresses
The method is now well established and documented as software i,e. STAAD –III, ANSYS
etc. is used for practical structural analysis .
In analysis by software, Particular problems arise when using the technique for structures
such as coupled walls where relatively slender components such as coupling beams which
are connected to relatively massive components, shear walls. Although it is perfectly
acceptable to model the walls by rectangular membrane finite element with two degree of
freedom at each node, it is inappropriate to use such elements for the connecting beams. This
is required the use of high aspect ratio (length: depth) elements, which might lead to
computational errors. In addition, a minimum of three elements would be required to model
the double curvature form of bending in the connecting beams, which would increase
considerably the size of the structure stiffness matrix and cost of solution. It is sufficiently
accurate, and much more convenient, to model a beam by a standard line element, but in that
case the node at the wall-beam junctions would have to have three degrees of freedom
32
associated with it (two translation and one rotation). It would not then be possible to ensure
compatibility with the adjoining node of a plane stress element with only two degrees of
freedom (two translations). Some other devices are then required to achieve proper
compatibility between beams and walls, and this is achieved in different techniques.
For example, it is possible to use special elements with as additional rotational degree of
freedom at each node. Such special elements are still rarely available in general purpose in
programs, and they increase the number of degrees of freedom by 50%, although they avoid
the necessity of horizontally long thin wall elements.
A easy alternative is to add a fictitious, flexurally rigid, auxiliary beam to the edge wall
element at the beam-wall junctions. The fictitious beam is used connected to two adjacent
wall nodes, either in the direction of or normal to the beam. This allows the rotation of the
wall, as defined by the relative transverse displacements of the ends of the auxiliary beam,
and the moment, to be transferred to the beam. A similar device is used to connect a column
to a wall if the structure is modeled by a combination of a frame and plane stress finite
elements.
2.4.3 Equivalent Wide Column Frame Method
The most suitable approach is, by the use of a frame analogy, which is a very versatile and
economic approach and is used for the most of the practical purposes.
The analysis requires the modeling of the interaction between the vertical shear walls and the
horizontal connecting beams. Over the height of a single story, a wall panel appears a very
broad, but when viewed in the context of the entire height it appears as a slender cantilever
beam. When subjected to lateral forces, the wall is dominated by its flexural behavior, and
shearing effects is generally insignificant.
Flexible column at wall center line Stiff wide column arm
Flexible beam
Fig. 2.11 Equivalent wide-column model
33
In the easy analogous frame model, the wall presented by an equivalent column. It is located
at the centroidal axis (Fig. 2.11), to which is assigned the axial rigidity EA and the flexural
rigidities EI of the wall. The condition that plane sections remain plane is incorporated by
means of stiff arms located at the connecting beam levels, spanning between the effective
column and the external fibers. The rigid arms ensure that the correct rotations and vertical
displacements are produced at the edges of the walls. The connecting beams is represented as
line elements in the conventional manner, and assigned the correct axial, flexural, and if
necessary, shearing rigidities. Generally, shearing deformations is included if the beam’s
length/depth ratio is less than about 5.
2.4.4 Analogous Frame Method
In conventional stiffness method, the analogous frame is analyzed most conveniently.
General purpose, frame analysis programs are now widely available to carry out the matrix
operations required on both micro and main frame computers. These require no more of the
engineer than a specification of the geometric and structural data, and the applied load.
Different approaches are possible for modeling the rigid ended connecting beams in the
analytical model, depending on the facilities and options available in the program used. The
most important techniques are as follows,
a. Direct Solution of the Analytical Model
A direct application of the stiffness method will require a series of nodes at the junctions
between the stiff arms and the connecting beams in the wide column model, as well as at the
column story levels. The rigidities of the wide column arms are simulated by assigning very
high numerical values of axial areas and flexural rigidities to the members concerned. In
practice, a value of 1,000 to 10,000 times the corresponding values for the flexible
connecting beams has been found to provide results of accuracy without causing numerical
problems in the solution.
b. Use of Stiffness Matrix for Rigid Ended Beam Element
Because of the rigid connecting elements, simple relationships exist between the actions at a
column node and those at the adjacent wall beam junction node. It is possible to derive a
composite stiffness matrix for the complete beam segment between column nodes that
incorporates the influence of the stiff end segments.
34
The required stiffness matrix for the line element with rigid arms is derived either by
transforming the effects at the wall beam junctions i and j to the nodes at the wall centroidal
axes 1 and 2 by a transformation matrix.
c. Use of Haunched Member Facility
A haunched member option is used to represent the rigid arms if specific large stiffness vales
are given to the cross sectional area and flexural rigidity of the haunched ends. These values
are sufficiently large for the resulting deformations to be negligible, but not sufficiently large
to cause computational problems from ill conditioned equations.
The stiffness of the end segments depends on the length as well as the cross sectional
properties and the choice of the rigidities EA and EI for the stiff segments. It reflects the
effect of the ratio of the length of the arm to the span of the flexible connecting beam. End
values of the order of 10,000 times the connecting beam values are generally found
acceptable.
d. Use of Equivalent Uniform Connecting Beams
In a symmetrical coupled wall structure, in which axial deformations of the connecting
beams are assumed negligible, the rotation of the walls at any level is equal. The rotation of
the stiff ended beams are equal, and, consequently, it possible to replace the stiff ended beam
by an equivalent uniform beam with an effective second moment of inertia Ic, thereby,
treating the wide column frame as a normal plane frame of beams and columns.
(2.32)
Ib = real moment of inertia of flexural beam
b= width of connecting beam
l= connecting beam length
The coupled shear wall structure is then, presented by a frame having uniform beams of
length l and flexural rigidities EIc.
If the connecting beams are relatively deep, so that the effects of shearing deformation are
significant, the effective second moment of inertia is assigned may be further modified to
include this effect. The values of Ic must be then replaced I’c, where,
(2.33)

(2.34)
A = cross sectional are of beam
G = modulus of shear rigidity of beam
GA = shear rigidity
= cross sectional shape factor for shear, equal to 1.2 for rectangular section.
2.5 Modelling Technique
The response of a building to horizontal load is governed by the components that are stressed
as the building deflects. Really, for ease and accurate structural analysis, the participating
components includes only the main structural elements such as slabs, beams, girders,
columns, walls, and cores etc. In reality, however, other, nonstructural elements are stressed
and contribute to the building’s behavior; these include, for example, the staircases, partition,
and cladding etc.
To make the problem ideal, it is usual necessary in modeling a building for analysis, to
include only the main structural members and to assume that the effects of the nonstructural
components are small and save guard.
To identify the main structural elements, it is necessary to recognize the dominant modes of
action of the proposed building structure and to assess the extent of the various members’
contribution to them. Then, by neglecting consideration of the nonstructural components, and
the less essential structural components, the problem of analyzing a tall building structure is
reduced to a more viable size.
2.5.1 Modelling for Preliminary Analysis
The aim of preliminary analyses, for the early stages of design, to compare the performance
of alternative proposals for the structure, or to determine the deflections and major member
forces in a chosen structure from which the size of structure’s elements to be properly
proportioned. The formation of the model and the procedure for a preliminary analysis is
rapid and produce results that are dependable approximations. The model and its analysis is
therefore represent fairly well, if not absolutely accurately, the principal modes of action and
interaction of the major structural elements. The most complete approach to satisfying the
36
above requirements is a three dimensional stiffness matrix analysis of a fully detailed finite
element model of the structure. The columns, beams, and bracing members are represented
by beam elements, while shear wall and core components is represented by assemblies of
membrane elements (Coull,1991, P-81).
Sometimes, certain reduction in the size or complexity of the model is acceptable. While
allowing it to still in accuracy as a final analysis; for example, if the structure and load are
symmetrical, a three dimensional analysis of a half structure model, or even a two
dimensional analysis of a fully interactive two-dimensional model, is acceptable.
2.5.2 Modelling for Accurate AnalysisIt is important for the intermediate and final stages of design to obtain a reasonably accurate
estimate of the structure deflections and member forces. With the wide availability of the
structural analysis software, it is now possible to solve very large and complex structural
models.
In preliminary analysis, it is necessary some of the more gross approximations. The structural
model for an accurate analysis is represented in a more detailed manner where exist all the
major active components of the prototype structure. The principal elements are columns,
walls, and cores, and their connecting slabs and beams.
The major structural analysis programs typically offer a variety of finite elements for
structural modeling. As an absolute minimum for accurately representing high rise structure,
a three dimensional program with beam element and quadrilateral membrane element is used
to suffice. Beam elements are used to represent beams and columns and by making their
inertias negligibly small or by releasing their end rotations, which are used for shear walls
and wall assemblies, preferably includes an incompatible mode option to better allow for the
characteristic in-plane bending of shear walls.
a. Connection of Beam Element to Membrane Element
When modeled membrane elements, shear walls with in-plane frame connecting beams
require special consideration. Membrane elements do not have a degree of freedom to
represent in-plane rotation of these corners. Therefore, a beam element is connected to node
of a membrane element is effectively connected only by a hinge.
37
Auxiliary beam Connecting beam
Wall element
Fig. 2.12 Connection of beams to wall element for shear wall
A remedy for this deficiency is to add a fictitious, flexurally rigid, auxiliary beam to the
edge wall element (Fig. 2.12). The adjacent ends of the auxiliary beam and the external beam
are both constrained to rotate with the wall-edge node. Consequently, the rotation of the wall,
as defined by the relative transverse displacements of the ends of auxiliary beam, and a
moment are transferred to the external beam (Coull, 1991).
b. High Rise Behaviour
A more accurate assessment of a proposed high rise structure’s behaviour is necessary to
form a properly representative model for analysis. A high rise structure is essentially a
vertical cantilever that is subjected to axial load by gravity and to lateral load by wind or
earthquake.
Lateral load exerts at each level of a building a shear, a moment, and some times, a torque,
which have maximum values at base of the structure that increase rapidly with the building
height. The response of a structure to lateral load, in having to carry the external shear,
moment, and torque, is more complex than its first order response to gravity load.
The recognition of the structure’s behaviour under lateral load and the formation of the
corresponding model are usually the dominant problems of analysis. The principal criterion
of a satisfactory model is that under lateral load it deflects similarly to the prototype
structure.
2.6 Drift of Structure
Drift is the magnitude of displacement at the top of a building relative to its base. The ratio of
the total lateral deflection to the building height, or the story deflection to story height, is
referred to as the “ Deflection Index.” The imposition of a maximum allowable lateral sway
(drift) is based on the need to limit the possible adverse effects of lateral sway on the stability
38
of individual columns as well as the structure as a whole. And also, on the excessive crack
and consequent loss of stiffness and the integrity of nonstructural partitions, glazing and
mechanical elements in the building.
Crack associated with the lateral deflections of nonstructural elements such as partitions,
windows, etc, cause serious maintenance problems. Therefore, a drift limitation is selected to
minimize such crack also second order p-delta effects due to gravity load being of such a
magnitude as to precipitate collapse.
In the absence of code limitation in the past, buildings are designed for wind load with
arbitrary values of drift, ranging from about 1/300 to 1/600 of their height, depending on the
judgement of the Engineer. Deflections based on drift limitation of about 1/300 used several
decades ago and computed, assuming the wind force is resisted by the structural frame alone.
In reality, the heavy masonry partitions and exterior cladding common to buildings of that
period considerably increased the lateral stiffness of such structures.
To date (2000) only the UBC (1994), BOCA and NBCC (1980), among North American
model building codes, specify a maximum value of the deflection index of 1/500,
corresponding to the design wind load. Also, ACI Committee 435 recommends a drift limit
1/500. In recent years many engineering offices, owing to competitive pressures, have
somewhat relaxed the drift criterion by allowing an overall in any one story not to exceed
H/400. Also, in cases where wind tunnel studies indicate wind forces in the building to be
smaller than those specified in the code, designers take the liberty of applying the H/500
criterion to the smaller (wind tunnel) wind forces.
The performance of modern reinforced concrete buildings designed in recent years to meet
this criterion appears to have been satisfactory with respect to the stability of the individual
columns and the structure as a whole, the integrity of nonstructural elements, and the comfort
of the occupants of such buildings.
Most of the modern high rise reinforced concrete buildings containing shear walls have
computed deflections ranging between H/800 and H/1200 due to inherent rigidity of the wall-
frame interaction.
To establish of a drift index limit is a major design decision, but, unfortunately, there are no
unambiguous or widely accepted values, or even, in some of the National Codes concerned,
any firm guidance. As the height of the building increases, drift index coefficients is
39
decreased to the lower end of the range to keep the top story deflection to a suitably low
level.
Excessive drift of a structure is reduced by change the geometric configuration of the
building. That is to alter the mode of lateral load resistance, to increase the bending stiffness
of the horizontal members, to add additional stiffness by the inclusion of stiffer wall or core
members, achieving stiffer connections, and even by sloping the exterior columns.
In dynamic response the minimum tolerable values of acceleration for the typical or normal
person needs further studies. It is obvious that the acceptability of a design with respect to
perception of sway motion. It is assessed by a dynamic analysis of the building under a set of
a probable range of wind exposures. No perceptible motion has been reported in concrete
buildings to date. The supplement to the National Building Code of Canada (1980), contains
expressions by which peak along-wind and across-wind acceleration of buildings is
calculated. According to the supplement, “ it appears that when the amplitude of acceleration
is in the range of 0.5 % to 1.5 % of the acceleration due to gravity, movement of the building
becomes perceptible to most people.” Based on this and other information, a tentative
acceleration limitation of 1 to 3 % of gravity once every 10 years is recommended for use in
conjunction with the expressions for computation of acceleration. The lower value is thought
suitable for apartment buildings, and the higher value for office buildings.
2.7 P-Delta Effect
A first order computer analysis of a building structure for simultaneously applied gravity and
horizontal loading results in deflections and forces that are a direct superposition of the
results for the two types of load considered separately. Any interaction between the effects of
gravity load and horizontal load is not account for by the analysis.
In reality, when horizontal load acts on a building and causes it to drift the resulting
eccentricity of the gravity load from the axes of the walls and columns produces additional
moments to which the structure responds by drifting further. The additional drift induces
additional internal moments sufficient to equilibrate the gravity load moments. The effect of
gravity load P acting on the horizontal displacements is known as the P-Delta effect.
The second order P- Delta additional deflections and moments are small for typical high rise
structure, with a magnitude usually of less than 5% (Coull,1991) of the first order values. If
40
the structure is exceptionally flexible, however, the additional forces is sufficient to require
consideration in the member’s design, or the additional displacement causes unacceptable
total deflections that require the structure is stiffened. In an extreme case of lateral flexibility
combined with exceptionally heavy gravity load, the additional forces from the P-Delta effect
might cause the strength of some members are exceeded with the possible consequence
collapse. Or, the additional P-Delta external moments is some times exceed the internal
moments and the structure is capable of mobilizing by drift, in which case the structure
collapses through instability. Such failures occur at gravity loads less than the critical overall
buckling load.
2.8 STAAD-III
STAAD-III is a comprehensive Structural Engineering Software that addresses all aspects of
engineering-model development, analysis, design, verification and visualization.
2.8.1 Type of Structures in STAAD–III EnvironmentA Structure is as an assemblage of elements. STAAD-III is capable of analyzing and
designing structures consisting of both frame and plate/shell elements. Almost any type of
structure can be analyzed by STAAD-III. Most general is the SPACE structure, which is
three-dimensional frame and shear wall structure with loads applied in any direction.
a. Plate/Shell Element
The plate/shell finite element is based on the hybrid element formulation. The element can be
3-noded or 4-noded (quadrilateral). If all the four nodes of a quadrilateral element do not lie
on the same plane, it is advisable to model them as triangular elements. “Surface structures”
such as wall, slabs, plates and shells can be modeled using finite elements. The user may also
use the element for “Plane Stress” action only. The “Element Plane Stress” command should
be used for this purpose.
b. Geometric Modelling Considerations
The program automatically generates a fifth node “O” at the element center. While assigning
nodes to an element in the input data. Element aspect ratio should not excessive. They should
be on the order of 1:1 and preferably less than 4:1.
41
c. Theoretical Basis
The STAAD-III plate finite element is based on hybrid finite element formulations. A
complete quadratic stress distribution is assumed for plane stress action (Fig.2.13) and plate
bending action.

d. Distinguishing Features of Finite Element
Displacement compatibility between the plane stress component of one element and the plate
bending component of an adjacent element which is at an angle to the first is achieved by the
elements. This compatibility is usually ignored in most flat shell/plate elements. The out of
plane rotational stiffness from the plane stress portion of each element is usefully
incorporated and not treated as a dummy as is usually done in most commonly available
commercial software. These elements are available as triangles and quadrilaterals, with
corner nodes only, with each node having six degrees of freedom. These elements may be
connected to plane /space frame members with full displacement compatibility. No additional
restraints/release are required. The plate bending portion can handle thick and thin plates,
thus extending the usefulness of the plate elements into a multiplicity of problems. The
triangular shell element is very useful in problems with double curvature where the
quadrilateral element may not be suitable.
2.9 Summary
The structural system of high rise building is influenced strongly by its function while having
to satisfy the requirements of strength and serviceability under all probable conditions of
gravity and lateral loads. The taller a building, the more important it is economically to
select an appropriate structural system. The flexural continuity between the members of a
42
structure, enables the structure to resist horizontal load as well as to assist in carrying gravity
load. Lateral load causes rack of the frame due to double bending of the columns and beams,
resulting in an overall shear mode of deformation of the structure. The lateral displacement
of the rigid frames subjected to horizontal load is due to three modes of member deformation,
beam flexure, column flexure, and axial deformation of columns. The lateral displacements
in each story attributable to three components is calculated separately and summed to give
the total drift. If the total drift, or the drift within any story, exceeds the allowable values, an
inspection of the components of drift indicates which members is increased in size to most
effectively control the drift.
Wind load becomes significant for buildings over 10 stories high and progressively more so
with increased height. For buildings that are not very tall or slender, the wind load is
estimated by a static method. The static method depends on location, effects on gust and the
importance of the building. For very tall building, it is recommended that a wind tunnel test
on a model is made.
For structural analysis, the intensity of an earthquake is usually described in terms of the
ground acceleration as a fraction of the acceleration of gravity, i,e. 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3g. Although
peak acceleration is an important analysis parameter, the frequency characteristics and
duration of an earthquake motion is to the natural frequency of a structure and the longer
duration of the earthquake, the greater the potential for damage. The zone coefficient Z in
UBC method corresponds numerically to the effective peak ground acceleration (EPA) of a
region, and is defined for Bangladesh by a map that is divided into three regions which are,
zone 1, zone 2 and zone 3. The places are situated in zone 1, are Barisal, Khulna, Jessore,
Rajshahi etc, in zone 2 are, Chittagong, Commila, Dhaka, Jaypurhat and Phanchaghar etc.
and in zone 3, are Sylhet, Brahmanbaria, Jamalpur and Lalmonirhat (BNBC, 1983) etc. The
values of Z =0.075, 0.15 and 0.25 for zone 1, zone 2 and zone 3 respectively. The coefficient
C represents the response of the particular structure to the earthquake acceleration. A
maximum limit on C=2.75 for any structure and soil condition. The structural system factor
R is a measure of the ability of the structural system to sustain cyclic inelastic deformations
without collapse. The magnitude of R depends on the ductility of the type materials of the
structure. A lower limit of C/R = .075 is prescribed.
43
Continuous medium method is an approximate method for analysis of coupled shear wall. It
is suitable for hand calculation. But the coupled shear wall is analyzed by Equivalent Wide
Column Frame method in which an equivalent column located at the centroidal axis, to
which is assigned the axial rigidity EA and the flexurial rigidities EI of the wall. The
connected beams are represented as line elements in the conventional manner. This method is
the most versatile and accurate analytical method.
Regular frame is analyzed by hand calculation both in Continuous medium method and
Equivalent frame method but irregular frames and walls with varying openings and sizes, it is
difficult to analysis, then the most suitable method of Finite element is alternative. In this
technique, the surface concerned is divided into a series of elements, generally rectangular,
triangular, or quadrilateral in shape, connected at a discrete set of nodes on their boundaries.
Explicit or implicit forms of the corresponding stiffness matrices for different element shapes
are presented in the literature, enabling the structure stiffness matrices to be set up and solved
to give all nodal displacements and associates forces. A finite element analysis, rectangular
elements are as square as possible, triangular elements are equilateral, and quadrilateral
elements are parallelograms with square sides, to achieve most accurate results.
In modeling a structure for analysis it is usually to represent only the main structure members
and to assure that the effects of nonstructural members are small and conservative.
Additional assumptions are made with regard to the linear behavior of the material, the in-
plane rigidity of the floor slabs, and then neglect of certain member stiffness and
deformations, in order to further simplification the model for analysis.
In accurate modeling, the columns and beams of frames are represented individually by beam
finite elements and shear wall is represented by assemblies of membrane finite element.
Drift is the magnitude of displacement at the top of a building relative to its base. In the
absence of code limitation in the past, buildings is used to design for wind load with arbitrary
values of drift, ranging from about 1/300 to 1/600 of their height. To date (2000) only the
UBC (1994), BOCA and NBCC (1980), among North American model building codes,
specify a maximum value of the deflection index of 1/500, corresponding to the design wind
load. Also, ACI Committee 435 recommends a drift limit 1/500. Also, in cases where wind
tunnel studies indicate wind forces in the building is smaller than those specified in the code,
designers take the liberty of applying the H/500 criterion to the smaller (wind tunnel) wind
44
forces. Most of the modern high rise reinforced concrete buildings containing shear walls
have computed deflections ranging between H/800 and H/1200 due to inherent rigidity of the
wall-frame interaction.
When horizontal load acts on a building and causes it to drift the resulting eccentricity of the
gravity load from the axes of the walls and columns produces additional moments to which
the structure responds by drifting further. The additional drift induces additional internal
moments sufficient to equilibrate the gravity load moments. The effect of gravity load P
acting on the horizontal displacements is known as the P-Delta effect.
The second order P- Delta additional deflections and moments are small for typical high rise
structure, with a magnitude usually of less than 5% (Coull,1991) of the first order values. If
the structure is exceptionally flexible, however, the additional forces is sufficient to require
consideration in the member’s design, or the additional displacement causes unacceptable
total deflections that require the structure to be stiffened.

3.3 Graphical Presentation of Earthquake Load
Earthquake load parameters are taken from BNBC (1993) for Earthquake load calculation.
These values are presented in tabular form in Code and intermediate value can be calculated
by interpolation. For any height of structure, easy calculation of required values and to
understand the trend of value is found from the presented graphs in load analysis. For this
reason, tabular values have represented in graphical form here. The graphs are produced
these are,

d. Vertical Distribution of Lateral ForcesIn the absence of a more rigorous procedure, the total lateral forces, which is the base shear
V, can be distributed along the height of the structure as below,
(3.12)
Where,
Fi = Lateral force applied at story level i
Ft = Concentrated lateral force considered at the top of the building in addition to the force Fn
The concentrated force, Ft acting at the top of the building can be determined as follows,
Ft = 0.07 TV 0.25V when T > 0.70 second (3.13)
Ft = 0.0 when T 0.70 second
The remaining portion of the base shear (V-Ft), is distributed over the height of the building
including level n, according to relation,
(3.14)
68
At each story level x, the force Fx is applied over the area of the building in proportion to the
mass distribution at that level.
Considering the equal mass at every level, then the equation can be written as
(3.15)
(3.16)
For different story building the base shear is distributed in Table 3.10 and presented in Fig.
3.10.
For example,
At height = 24 m, Building = 16-storied
Fx = 0.0588(V-Ft)
Where, V = base shear

MODELLING OF THE STRUCTURES
4.1 Introduction
The modelling of a high rise building structure for analysis is
dependent to some extent on the approach to analysis, which is
related to the type and size of structure. This section describes
the finite element model for simulating model behaviour of high
rise structure. STAAD-III professional purpose Finite Element
software has been employed for this purpose. The developed
model uses beam elements with two nodes and finite element
model with four nodes for modelling the structure. It is assumed
that the load is such that the stress level of all materials is within
the elastic range.
72
4.2 Description of Model Building
In order to study the effect of different models, beam sizes, column sizes, auxiliary beam,
and brick masonry on bending moment, deflection, stiffness and stress in brick masonry
hence a 16-storied high rise building is given. Such as a typical floor plan, elevation, and
alternately adopted model plans of the building for this study is shown in Fig. 4.1a and 4.1b.

Rigid Frame Plan

73
Fig. 4.1b Elevation of structure
The columns, beams, shear walls, and infills are kept constant cross section and floor height
throughout the building. The uniformity and symmetry used in this example is adopted
primarily for simplicity. The member dimensions used in this example are within practical
range.
The beam width is kept 300 mm constant and the depth is varied 450 mm, 600 mm, 750 mm,
and 900 mm. The shear wall is taken 300x3650 mm and the thickness of infill is 250 mm.
The variable column sizes considered in this study are 300x450 mm, 300x600 mm, 300x750
and 300x900 mm.
Brick masonry crushing strength is taken, 12.50 MPa, poison’s ratio for concrete is, 0.15,
poison’s ration of brick masonry is, 0.20.
On this basis of the given data of the building, the lateral forces are presented in appendix,
Table A.1 and A.2. Considering the critical direction of the building, which is transverse
direction and adopted in this study.
4.3 Loads Considered for Analysis
A brief calculation of wind and earthquake load is given here. Location of building is
considered at Dhaka city, where exposure condition is A, and Earthquake zone is 2.
Only three load cases have been considered in this study. Following the cases, the horizontal
concentrated load at top, the wind load and earthquake load calculations have made along
with gravity load.
Load case: 1 D + L + H
74
Load case: 2 0.75(D + L + W)
Load case: 3 0.75(D + L + E)
D = dead load, L = gravity live load, H = horizontal concentrated load at top
W = wind load, E =earthquake load
To calculate the wind load, basic wind velocity of 210 km / h is considered.
The gravity, wind and earthquake loads are calculated and shown in appendix A and
presented in Table A.1 and A.2.
4.4 Modelling used for the Study
In this study, during 2-D analysis, building is idealized as an assemblage of vertical Rigid
frame, Shear wall, Infilled frame systems interconnected by horizontal rigid beams. A shear
panel element (Seraj, 1996, PP.199) is used to enable modelling of shear wall. Axial, shear
and bending deformations are considered during the analysis, modelling of shear wall in 2-D
analysis is done using the concept of rigid end condition between columns and beams.
For the analysis, only one direction, that is, short direction of building has been selected.
Two-dimensional analysis is conducted using the STAAD-III package software.
The analysis is divided into two phases. In the first phase, the relative stiffness of the systems
considered is calculated considering a 100 kN load at the top of model frames.
In the second phase, wind and earthquake loads are applied for the systems, then limited
parametric studies conducted by adopting two-dimensional analysis. Several parameters are
varied in order to determine their effects on moments, stresses, and deflections of model
frames.
Three different structural systems for the same bay are selected alternatively to carry out the
study of the 16-storied reinforced concrete building. The structural systems considered are,
i. Coupled Shear Wall
ii. Rigid Frame
iii. Infilled Frame
Again Coupled Shear Wall is subdivided into three structural models, as
a. Coupled-Shear Wall model with auxiliary beam
b. Coupled-Shear Wall model without auxiliary beam
c. Equivalent Wide Column model
75
4.4.1 Basic Model under Lateral Load Study
The basic models used for the numerical analysis under lateral loads for this study are given
in this article. The total five structural models are given on the following page in STAAD
geometric forms (Fig. 4.2 to 4.6). Member numbers and element numbers are given on
geometry but node numbers are not shown on geometry. Due to column sizes variation in
Rigid Frame model and Infill Frame model, hence four types of dimension are shown on the
top of model frames. Fig. 4.2 is used as Coupled Wall model with finite element, Fig. 4.3 is
used as Coupled Wall model by finite element without auxiliary beam, Fig. 4.4 is used as
Rigid Frame model by beam element, Fig. 4.5 is used as Infilled Frame model by finite
element and beam element. Fig.4.6 is used as Equivalent Wide Column Frame model by
beam element. The different types of input data file are given in appendix B

4.5 Summary
A typical 2-D bay of 16-storied RC building is taken for study problem in which columns,
beams and walls are maintained uniform size over the height for specified set of analysis.
From practical point of view, the gravity loads are taken in association with lateral loads in
the analysis to get real value of stresses. BNBC wind load is adopted where the wind design
parameters are, “210 km/h” for basic wind speed, “A” for exposure condition and “Dhaka
City” for location.
In earthquake load calculation, BNBC earthquake load is applied where the earthquake
design parameters are, Z =0.15 for earthquake zone 2, S=1.5 for site soil coefficient, I=1.0
(standard occupancy) for importance coefficient, R=5 for structural modification coefficient.
Three structural systems for the same bay are selected alternatively to carry out the study.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
5.1 Introduction
Frames are the most widely used structural system in building construction but frames alone
are not always suitable to resist lateral loads. Equivalent static force method is allowed in
design codes to represent earthquake loads for such structures up to certain height. For tall
building structure, other building system should be adopted to resist lateral loads. These are
Frame-Wall, Coupled Wall, Infilled Frame, Tube system etc.
A short direction bay of a 16-storied office building is considered for lateral load analysis
here.
Wind load and Earthquake load are taken as lateral loads.
The specified bay is modeled by three structural systems, as
a. Rigid Frame structure (RF)
82
b. Infilled Frame structure (IF)
c. Coupled Wall structure (CW).
The Coupled Wall structure is idealized as,
i. Wall model without auxiliary beam (CW)
ii. Wall model with auxiliary beam (CWAB) and
iii. Equivalent Wide Column model (EWC).
The total five models are then analyzed by STAAD-III, computer software package program.
Effect of different parameters are studied to assess their influence on the behavior of high
rise structure. For the purpose of analysis, a bisymmetric 16-storied building is considered.
Parameters of study are:
Structural system
Beam size
Column size
All of them are analyzed with STAAD-III, a professional software package program. The
results of different models are presented in tabular and graphical form in this chapter.
The analyses of model frames are done for concentrated load at top end, wind and earthquake
loads. Deflections of model frames, their relative stiffness, moment in connecting beams and
stresses in infill materials are also calculated. These are presented in Tables 5.1 to 5.22 and
Fig. 5.1 to 5.15
5.2 Deflection of Different Structural System for Concentrated Load at Top
The concentrated load is applied at top to assess the relative deflection characteristics of
different model frames. Two types of deflection are associated in model frames. Bending
deflection and shear deflection. The bending mode of deflection is a result of axial
deformation of columns. It is generally neglected in frame structure. As the height to width
ratios of the structure increases, the effect of column axial deformation becomes more
dominant. For relatively short frames with height to width ratios less than 3, the deflection
due to axial shortening of columns can be neglected and the deflection of the frame can be
assumed to be entirely due to shear mode deflection. This mode of deflection occurs in frame
structures due to story sway associated with double bending of columns and beams. The
greater the slenderness of the frame, the more critical it becomes to instability in the flexural
83
deflection as opposed to the shear deflection. The greater the beam stiffness, the frame tends
to less shear deflection (Tables 5.1 to 5.4 and Fig. 5.1 to 5.4). The smaller the beam stiffness
associated, the frame tends to deflect as flexural deflection as a result the rigid frame goes to
largest deflection (Fig. 5.1).
In Fig. 5.1 to 5.4 and Tables 5.1 to 5.4, the Coupled Wall Model Frame without auxiliary
beam (AB) shows free cantilever deflection and the deflection of model can not be reduced
by increasing beam stiffness due to hinge connection of beam element to wall element. In
Table 5.1, the maximum deflection is found due to minimum beam stiffness compared to
others and minimum deflection is achieved by increasing beam stiffness (Table 5.4). Also it
is found that the deflection is decreased by increasing column size (Tables 5.5 to 5.7).
Finally, it is seen that the deflections are decreased with increased beam stiffness and column
stiffness for Infilled Frame, Rigid Frame, Coupled Wall (CWAB) and Wide Column model,
but deflection remains unaltered for Coupled Wall model (without auxiliary beam) where it
deflects as a free cantilever.
From maximum to gradual minimum deflections are found in Coupled Wall (without
auxiliary beam), Rigid Frame, Infilled Frame, Coupled Wall (with auxiliary beam) and Wide
Column Model respectively.

5.3 Relative Stiffness of Model Frames for Concentrated Load at Top
The relative stiffness of different model frames is presented in Tables 5.8
to 5.11. The analyses are carried out for 100 kN lateral loads at top of the
model frames. Relative stiffness of the model frames is defined, as the
lateral load required for unit deflection. Here 100 kN is adopted instead of
1 kN load, then the load is divided by total drift to get stiffness of the
model frames.
From Tables 5.8 to 5.11, among five models, the maximum stiffness is
found for Wide Column model. Although the Wide Column and Coupled
Wall (with AB) model are of same configuration, nevertheless the stiffness
is somewhat different. Because in Wide Column model, the coupling beam
acts perfectly rigid joint, so that it gives higher stiffness than Coupled Wall
model. In Coupled Wall model, the coupling beams are connected to nodal
98
points of shear wall with auxiliary beams which lacks full rigidity, as a
result the stiffness is somewhat lower than Wide Column model.
In Infilled Frame model, the stiffness is considerably higher than Rigid Frame model (Tables
5.8 to 5.11). With respect to the shear configuration of a laterally loaded rigid frame model
without Infill, an Infill deflects in a flexural mode (Fig. 5.1 to 5.7). This difference in
deflected shape occurs in between Infilled Frame and Rigid Frame because the infill greatly
reduces the shear mode deformation which increase the stiffness of the Infilled Frame model.
Without auxiliary beam connection in Coupled wall model, the stiffness becomes lower than
other models because the coupled wall deflects as free cantilever, as a result the stiffness is
considerably less. It is shown in Tables 5.8 to 5.11 that the stiffness of models can be
increased with increased beam or column sizes.
From above discussions it is clear that the stiffness of buildings can be increased by different
modifications of structural systems, by increasing beam or column sizes. Comparing the
relative stiffness of model frames, it can be suggested that which one the structural system is
more efficient. Here, Coupled Wall model (reinforced concrete shear wall) is more efficient
than the others in terms of lateral sway of model frames and hence it is the most stiff system.
However, the Infilled Frame gives considerable stiffness than all others except Coupled wall
model. Coupled wall model is expensive in construction. In terms of economy this system is
not always efficient one. Where as the stiffness of Infilled model is close to Coupled Wall
model and construction cost is much less than coupled wall system. If the infill stresses are
within allowable limit due to lateral loads, then Infillled structural system is quite efficient
structural system and economically acceptable too.

5.4 Deflection of Different Structural System for Lateral Load
The wind and earthquake loads are calculated according to BNBC (1993). The wind load
base shear is found greater than earthquake base shear (Tables A.1 and A.2). Exposure
condition “A” for wind and zone “2” for earthquake are considered for Dhaka City. The base
shear due to wind load is found 35 % higher than the base shear due to earthquake.
Deflection of the structure, modeled as different structural systems, due to both earthquake
and wind forces are presented in Tables 5.12a, 5.12b and plotted in Fig. 5.8. From the limited
study, it is found that the deflections of every system due to wind load are greater than the
deflection due to earthquake load. The differences between top deflections due to lateral
loads are small (not more than 16 %) though the wind load base shear is greater by 35 % than
earthquake load. The greater intensity of load at top and the concentrated load at top of the
model frames due to earthquake makes the difference less. The distinctive feature of wind
and earthquake forces is, that the wind load is external forces the magnitudes of which are
proportional to the exposed surface, while the earthquake force is inertial force depending
primarily on the mass and the stiffness properties of the model structure.
101
In Fig. 5.8, the Rigid Frame model undergoes combined flexural-shear deflection. Rigid
Frame model and Coupled Wall model without auxiliary undergoes excess deflection than
allowable limit, 96mm (Fig. 5.8) due to less stiffness of beams and columns according to
ACI Committee 435. But generally in rigid frame, the deflection is shear mode deflection.
The shear mode of deflection occurs in rigid frame by the double bending of columns and
beams which occurs in the upper part. The beam-column joint in upper part of the model acts
as rigid joint and stresses are in elastic range. The joint deformations are negligible. But in
lower part of model frame, the flexural mode of deflection takes place (Fig. 5.12). The
flexural mode of deflection happens when the beam undergoes joint deformation. At the
lower part of frame, the stress in beams exceeds the elastic range and it acts as semi rigid or
hinge joint. Hence the frame undergoes flexural mode of deflection at the lower part.
The Wide Column model deflects less than all other models. Coupled Wall model (without
AB) deflects more due to hinge connection between finite membrane element and finite
beam element. As a result, the system deflects as free cantilever as shown in Fig. 5.8. For
this reason it is not possible to lower the deflection values with increased beam size.
Decreased deflection is increasing wall inertia, which is uneconomical.
The deflections of Wide Column model and Coupled Wall model (with AB) are close
although the same configuration between them exists. Because the auxiliary beam connection
to nearest node of element makes the system close to rigid joint. At least the same size of
auxiliary should be connected to get reliable result that is somewhat conservative.
The deflection due to wind of Infill Frame model is found 15 % greater than Coupled Wall
model (with AB) and 34 % less than Rigid Frame model (Fig. 5.8). It is seen that the infill
contributes sufficient stiffness to withstand lateral loads. The stiffening effect of the infill
panel on the frame represents fairly well by a diagonal strut having the same thickness as the
panel (Mark Fintel, 1974, PP.358). An effective width depends on many factors. The
effective width of the strut increases with increasing column stiffness and panel height to
length ratio and decreases with increasing value of the load and modulus of elasticity of the
infill material. The effect of infill walls can be well observed on the response of structures
subjected to earthquake motion. Walls filling the space between frame members not only
tend to increase the stiffness, but it altogether alters the mode of response of the frame. The
frame changes into a shear wall and as a result, it changes the entire structure and the
102
resulting distribution of lateral forces among the frame components (Mark Fintel, 1974).
Virtually the wind and earthquake load is dynamic and reversible one. At one stage an infill
panel acts in one diagonal direction in compression (as a strut) and in other diagonal
direction in tension. The compression and tension diagonals are reversed when the horizontal
load comes from other direction. As a result in severe lateral load, the infill fails out of plane
and makes the infill frame into frame only, which may result greater in deflection under
severe lateral load.
In Fig. 5.9 and 5.10, the deflections are presented for various beam and column sizes. The
lateral deflection caused by lateral force decreases with increased beam or column sizes.
These merely due to increase in flexural stiffness of beams or columns.
In Fig. 5.11, the deflections of Wide Column model are presented for various beam sizes. In
this model, it is shown that the lateral deflection decreases with increased beam sizes. At
certain stiffness of beam, the model frame starts to deflect in flexural mode (for beam,
300x450 mm).

5.5 Moment in Beams of Different Structural System for Lateral LoadWind loads are applied on different model frames to observe the model connecting beam
moments at various floor levels. The beam and column sizes are kept constant and then
lateral loads are applied on different model system. The moments of different model frames
due to both wind and earthquake loads are presented in Table 5.16 and 5.17. They are plotted
in Fig. 5.12.
From the limited study, it is found that the moments in beams of every system caused by
wind load are greater than the moments in beams caused by earthquake load. But the
differences between moments caused by these two different types of lateral loads are small
(not more than 12 % for max value) though the wind load is greater by 35 % than earthquake
load. The greater intensity of load at top and the top load of earthquake makes the difference
less.
The connecting beam moments in wide column model are less than all other models and
coupled wall model (without AB) gives very less moments due to hinge connection between
membrane element and beam element. As a result the moments linearly decrease as shown in
Fig. 5.12.
It is shown in Fig. 5.12 that the maximum moment is developed in connecting beam for
Rigid frame, Infilled Frame, Wide Column, Coupled Wall (AB) and Coupled Wall system at
a level of (z / H) 0.44, 0.56, 0.56, 0.56 and base level respectively.
The moments in beams in wide column model and coupled model (with AB) are somewhat
different although the same configuration between them exists. Because the beam-column
joints in wide column model are rigid and the auxiliary beam connection in coupled wall
model to nearest node of element makes the system close to rigid joint.
For different beam sizes and fixed column sizes, the variation of beam moment in connecting
beams are studied for rigid frame model (Tables 5.18, Fig. 5.13) and wide column model
(Tables 5.20, Fig. 5.15) due to wind load.
In rigid frame model, the upper parts of all the curves concave downward gradually. The
curve concave downward more due to greater beam size. At a certain height from base level,
the maximum bending moment occurs. Below certain height, the beam goes to higher stress
due to lateral loads and the beam-column joint deformation happens, as a result the joint does
112
not act fully as a rigid joint, hence the rotation takes place and the bending moment decreases
and the curve concave upward. The greater beam size can take more stress, so that the
maximum bending moment occurs at lower height close to base level (Fig. 5.13). The lower
parts of the same curves (Fig. 5.13 and 5.14) repeat and it happens in another beam.
In wide column model the upper parts of all the curves concave downward gradually. The
concavity is more due to greater beam size. At a certain height from base level, the maximum
bending moment occurs. Below certain height, the beam experiences higher stress due to
lateral loads and the beam-column joint deformation happens, as a result the joint does not
act as a fully rigid joint. The rotation takes place and the bending moment decreases and the
curve tends to go concave upward. The greater beam size can take more stress and the
maximum bending moment occurs at lower levels. In Fig. 5.15, the broken line curve shows
the variation of maximum bending moment due to beam size variation, which is
progressively concave upward.
The stiffness of model frame is increased due to increase of beam size, so that the model has
less deflection but the bending moment increases in beams (Tables 5.18 and 5.20) due to
higher stiffness of beam.
In the Infill Frame model, the bending moment in beams are quite less (about 15%) than the
rigid frame model. The infill acts as diagonal bracing for the frame, which reduces bending
moment in beams.

5.6 Stresses in Infill Material of Infilled Frame (Wind Load) The infill is brick masonry. The properties of brick masonry are described in art. 2.2.5.2.
Lateral loads are applied to Infilled Frame model and calculated infill stresses due to wind
121
load for the model frame upto 8th story because more stress at lower portion. The stresses are
presented in Tables 5.21 and 5.22. The maximum compressive stress is found in infilled
material is 2332 kN/sq.m which is 4.5% less than allowable limit [2442 kN/sq.m, (BNBC)]
and the maximum tensile stress found in infilled material is 282 kN/sq.m which is 19.5 %
less than allowable limit [350 kN/sq.m, (BNBC)].
The shear strength of brick masonry is represented in Codes of Practice by a static friction
type of equation (Coull, 1991)
fs = fbs + c (5.1)
together with a maximum limiting value (0.40 N/mm2, BNBC).
Where,
fbs = bond shear stress = 0.025 f’m N/mm2 (5.2)
c = compressive force
This relationship holds good up to value of c = 2 N/mm2 (2000 kN/ m2)
= 0.40 (average value)
The maximum shear stress found in infilled material is 540 kN/sq.m, which is 35 % greater
than allowable limit [400 kN/sq.m (BNBC)].
From above results, it is found that the shear stress has exceeded the allowable limit. Hence,
the use of infill masonry in high rise building is limited. When it is used as infill to the frame,
the stresses in infill are to be carefully checked against lateral loads. For over stresses in
brick infill, reinforced may be used as infill which allowed by ACI and UBC [The crushing
strength (f’m) of brick masonry is taken 12.5 kN/sq.m (1813 psi)].
From the analysis of structural models, it is found that if the rigid frame model is filled by
brick masonry then the moments in connecting beam substantially reduces at lower level of
building height (Table 5.16 and 5.17) and the stiffness of Infilled model increases (about
40%). The brick masonry is cheap and easy in construction than RC work. It can be used
economically as structural system if the stresses in infill material do not exceed the allowable
limits.

5.7 Summary
A short direction bay of a 16-storied office building is considered for lateral load analysis.
Wind load and Earthquake load are considered as lateral loads.
123
The specified bay is modeled by three structural systems, namely, a. Rigid Frame structure,
b. Infilled Frame structure, c. Coupled Wall structure.
The Coupled Wall Structure is modeled into three structural models as i. Wall Element
model ii. Wall Element model with auxiliary beam iii. Equivalent Wide Column model. The
total five models are then analyzed by STAAD-III, a package program.
The maximum to gradually minimum stiffness is found in Equivalent Wide Column,
Coupled Wall (with auxiliary beam), Infilled Frame, Rigid Frame and Coupled Wall
respectively.
When the Coupled wall system is modeled by membrane finite elements, then shear wall’s
(in-plane frame) connecting beams require a special consideration. Membrane elements do
not have a degree of freedom to represent an in-plane rotation of these corners, therefore, a
beam element connected to node of a membrane element is effective only by a hinge. As a
result the walls deflect as free cantilever.
When the relative stiffness is greater, there exists larger bending moment in the connecting
beams. Maximum bending moment develops in beams along building height at nearly H/3
for Rigid Frame for different beam and column sizes. There is no considerable change in
maximum beam moments due to changes of beam and column sizes (Fig. 5.10 and 5.11). In
Wide Column and Coupled Wall model, the maximum bending moment develops at nearly
H/3 along building height and gradually increases along height with increased beam size
(Fig. 5.12).
For Infilled Frame analyzed under wind load, it is found that the stresses of different types
are close to allowable limit for the frame under consideration. The maximum compressive
stress in infilled material is found to be 4.5% less than allowable limit. The maximum shear
stress, however, found exceed the allowable limit by about 35%. The maximum tensile stress
found in the infilled material is again about 19.5% less than the allowable limit.

CONCLUSION & SUGGESTION6.1 General
The ability to model high rise buildings successfully for analysis requires an understanding
of their behavior under lateral loads. A good grasp of the techniques of modeling serves as an
aid in generally assessing high rise building behaviour and subsequent selection and
development of structural forms for such buildings.
In modeling a structure for analysis, only the main structural members are idealized and it is
assumed that the effects of nonstructural members are small and conservative. Additional
assumptions are made with regard to the linear behavior of the materials, and the neglect of
certain member stiffness and deformations, in order to further simplify the model for
analysis. In more accurate modeling, the columns and beams of frames are represented
individually by beam elements. Shear walls are represented by assemblage of membrane
finite elements. Certain reductions of a detailed model are possible while still producing an
acceptable accurate solution. These reductions include halving the model to allow for
symmetrical or anti symmetrical behavior or representing the structure by a planar model and
conducting a two dimensional analysis.
6.2 Conclusions
A typical bay of a high rise building is considered for lateral load analysis. Wind and
earthquake loads are imposed on the model frame as lateral loads. The loads are adopted in
analysis as it is considered in design. The specified bay is modeled by three structural
systems. They are a. Rigid Frame model, b. Infilled Frame model and c. Coupled Wall
model. The Coupled Wall is modeled into three structural sub models, which are i. Wall
Element model ii. Wall Element model with auxiliary beam and iii. Equivalent Wide Column
model.
On the basis of results of analysis the following conclusions are made,
The lateral deflection of the model is found minimum in Equivalent Wide Column model
and the deflection value gradually increases for Coupled Wall model, Infilled Frame
model, Rigid Frame model and Coupled Wall model (without auxiliary beam)
respectively.
125
Maximum bending moment in connecting beam develops in between H/3 to H/2 along
model height from base level for different model with different member sizes.
Stiffness of model increases with increased beam sizes or column sizes or both.
Compressive stress, tensile stress and shear stress decrease in infilled material with
increased beam size.
In finite element method of analysis for Coupled Wall model, the finite membrane
element and finite beam element connection is such that either it is a hinge or rigid joint.
In rigid connection (actual case), auxiliary beam must be considered in the connection of
the model. If the auxiliary beam is not considered, the wall behaves as a free cantilever
under lateral load, which is not representative of the real response.
The maximum compressive stress and maximum tensile stress in infill brick masonry are
found somewhat below the allowable limits as per BNBC values. However, the
maximum shear stress is exceeded the allowable limit by 12.5% in infill brick masonry.
Hence, the brick masonry wall may need strengthening with wire mesh (retro-fitting) or
reinforced masonry may be used instead of masonry infilled frame can be used in high
rise buildings of reasoned height as shear wall with proper analysis and design.
Shear stress in infill material is critical in high rise building compared to tension in lateral
load analysis.
For severe lateral loads caused by wind load and or earthquake load, the reinforced shear
wall is obvious. Because, it produces less deflection and less bending moment in
connecting beams under lateral loads than all others structural system.
The stiffness of Rigid Frame model found in the analysis is 42% to 65% of Coupled Wall
and stiffness of Infilled Frame model found in the analysis is 86% to 91% of Coupled
Wall.
The maximum moment in connecting beam of Rigid Frame model found in analysis is
31% greater than Coupled Wall model and the maximum moment in connecting beam of
Infilled Frame is 15.5% greater than Coupled Wall model. The robust construction cost
of RC wall makes the building cost higher. The efficient structural system is infilled
rigid frame structure if the stresses are within the allowable limits, whether it is
reinforced plaster or reinforced masonry.

6.3 Recommendations for Future Study
The following recommendations are made for future study on the basis of lateral load analysis of a 2-D bay for16-storied high rise building as follows, In order to establish the influence of floor height of building, a similar investigation
should be carried out in future.
Three dimensional models study can be carried out for similar investigation.
Dynamic earthquake study can be carried out for similar frames.
The study is performed only with uniform beam and column along height but it can be
proposed to further investigations with various sizes along height.
The investigation can be extended for cross bracing for every floor of a rigid frame and in
filled frame in building.
Laboratory investigation for infilled frame can be made, where the column and beam cast
against infill and the column and beam cast prior to infill.

CALCULATION OF GRAVITY, WIND AND EARTQUAKE LOADS
A.1 Introduction
The P-delta effect is not considered in analysis. Hence, the gravity load has insignificant effect on deflection of model frames and moments in vertical members.
Gravity load, Wind load and Earthquake load are calculated for the model frames as follows: Superimposed load are taken, 5.25 kPa for dead load and 2.85 kPa for live load, 6 kN/m for facade dead load, 24 kN/m3 for unit weight of concrete,19 kN /m3 for unit weight of masonry, 1 kN / m2 for floor finish, 0.25 kN / m2 for ceiling plaster, 1 kN / m2 for light weight partition wall, wind load, earthquake load is taken as per BNBC, ultimate crushing strength of concrete is taken 21 Mpa.
A.2 Gravity Load Dead load (DL)i. 125 mm thick slab load = 3 kN / m2
ii. Floor finish = 1
iii. Ceiling plaster = 0.25
iv. Partition wall = 1
Total = 5.25 kN / m2
Others load as, Beam, Columns, Infill walls, Facade loads, i.e rise, drop, windows etc. are
calculated as below and converted as kN / m2 on floor load
a. Beams (Transverse) = 4x6’x0.3x0.5x23.60 = 84.56 kN
b. Beams (Along) = 1x6.40x0.3x0.50x23.60 =22.66 kN
c. Columns = 4x0.30x0.60x3.00x23.60 =51.83 kN
d. Infills =2x3.05xx19x0.25 = 70.54 kN
e. Façade = 2 x6 x 6 = 70.20 kN
Total = 300.19 kN
Load per sq.m = 300.19 / 6x 13.7 = 3.65 kN / m2
Influenced area = 13.7 x 6 = 82.20 sq. m
Total DL = 82.20 x 5.25 = 431.55 kN
DL per m = 431.55 / 13.7 = 31.50 kN
130
Total LL = 82.20 x 2.85 = 234.27 kN
LL per m = 234.27 / 13.70 = 17.10 kN
A.3 Wind Load
Location Dhaka
Exposure A
Basic wind velocity 210 km /h (Table C.1)
For value Cp,
H = 48 m, B = 30 m, L = 13.70 m
H / B = 48 / 30 = 1.60, L/B= 13.70 / 30 = 0.46
Hence, Cp (Fig. 3.1) = 1.45
Design wind pressure, Pz values for different height are calculated from Fig. 3.4 and presented in
Table A.1 GhCpCI is constant for specified building,
Gh = 1.22 (Fig. 3.3), CI = 1 (Table C.2), Hence, GhCpCI = 1.77
Pz = 1.77 x (Fig. 3.4 values against height), these are presented in Table A.1

A.4 Earthquake Load
Earthquake load has been calculated from the consideration as follows;
Location Dhaka
Zone = 2
Zone coefficient, Z = 0.15
Site Coefficient factor, S = 1.50
Importance Coefficient, I = 1
Response Modification Coefficient, R= 5 (Table C.6)
Building 16-storied
Building height, H = 48 m
Bay width = 6 m
Bay length = 13.7 m
Floor area under bay consideration = 82.20 sq.m
132
Total DL per floor area = 3.65 + 5.25 = 8.90 kN /m2
Total DL for one floor under bay considered = 8.90 x 6 x 13.70 = 731.58 kN
Total DL for 16 floors under bay considered = 731.58 x 16 = 11705.28 kN
Live Load (LL) = 2.85 kN /m2
Total LL for one floor = 2.85 x 6 x 13.70 = 234.27 kN
Total LL for 16 floors under bay considered = 234.27 x 16 = 3748.32 kN
Total load, W under bay consideration =Total DL + 25% Gravity LL
= 11705.26 + 0.25 x 3748.32
= 12642.34 kN
V / W (Fig. 3.9) =0.048
V (base shear) = 0.048 x W = 0.048x 12642.34
=606.83 kN
Building height, H = 48 m
Hence, T = 1.35 sec. (Fig. 3.7)
Ft = 0.07TV 0.25V, T 0.7 sec.
Ft = 0 T 0.7 sec.
Ft = 0.07 x 1.35 x 606.83 = 57.35 kN
V-Ft = 549.48 kN
wx= total floor load at every floor
Considering equal wx at every floor
Hence, the floor distribution comes, as (A.2.1)
(A.2.2)
Loads, Fx are presented in Table A.2

ABSTRACT
158
In recent years Bangladesh has witnessed a growing trend towards construction of 15-30 storied buildings. All most all of these are being situated in Dhaka City. The tallest building in Bangladesh to date is the 30-storied (with one basement) Bangladesh Bank Annex Building. No extensive study has been conducted to compare the different techniques available for the analysis of tall buildings with different structural system. A limited parametric study is carried out to search suitable structural system of the high rise building. A short direction bay of a 16-storied building is considered for lateral load analysis by 2D. Wind and earthquake loads are considered as lateral loads. The specified bay is modeled by three structural systems, namely, i) Rigid Frame structure, ii) Infilled Frame structure, iii) Coupled Wall structure. The Coupled Wall structure is again modeled in three forms as, i) Finite Element model without auxiliary beam, ii) Finite Element model with auxiliary beam, and iii) Equivalent Wide Column model. The parameters that are varied in structural system are, beam size, column size, inclusion of infill material (brick masonry) in modeling rigid frame structures etc. To conduct the parametric study, professional software (STAAD-III) is employed. To calculate the design wind pressure and earthquake base shear, the loads are estimated as per specification of Bangladesh National Code (BNBC-1993). Any necessary value or interpolated value is taken from the graph directly. The analysis results are presented in tabular and graphical form and discussed in detail.
