Introduction
Project 1 is about design a high-rise office building by analysis the core and floor system, lateral load distribution, wind and seismic load to determine how the tall building behaviors under each cases.(e.g. the deflection of typical members, the force carried out by six different cells, the overturning bending moment under wind and seismic load)
The perimeter of the building is as defined by floor system developed for Part A of this project. The floors crossing section of the tall building is 42*42m which has a 19*19m core areas and has 42 floors in total. Project B is only consider one load condition being the wind from the south and the wind load for each of the orthogonal directions can be based on the project area of building on to a surface perpendicular to the wind direction. For this load case determine manually the percentage of wind load resisted by each of six core cells by hand calibration.
Part C is determine the lateral along-wind loads for the north south direction only up to the height of the building by using dynamic method and finds the base-overturning moment. In addition, also determine the lateral north south design earthquake load up the height of building and compare which of the two loads is dictates.
Part D is about developing a simple SpaceGass model using a column element for the two conditions. Carry out a lateral load analysis for the north south direction with the appropriate eccentricity by applying the derived along-wind case from the Part C. First model will have just six column elements going up the height of the building. The second model will have six columns linked by header beams. By using SpaceGass to analysis how the building behaviors under two different models e.g. deflection at the top of the building and the forces at the base of the building.

Note: 1.Element stiffness is proportional to the second moment of area if the elements that is found the first step:

Look at Figure 1 that given core and arrangement and sizing of cells, all dimensions and sizes are symmetrical about two axes. Consequently, the center of stiffness of the core will be around the geometrical center of the core. The center stiffness of the core calculated above (9.5, 9.665) is really close to the geometrical center of the core (9.5, 9.5).

Step 3: find the center of area of the wall perpendicular to the N-S wind.
For this project consider the load wind from the south only. The point of application of the load shall be offset from the centroid of the projected surface by 5%. This refers to the projected surface which designed in Part A.
Part A the width of the projected surface is 41.5m
Hence, the wind force is applied 41.5*0.05=2.075m toward the east from the center of the core
Step 4: find the element forces in the north direction by using the equation
∑
∑
Kxxj and Kyyj is the lateral stiffness of ach core in the x and y direction which can be taken as Ixxj and Iyyj
eccentricity ex is the distance from the center of stiffness to the load applied which equal 2.075m
xj and yj are the distance in the x and y direction, respectively, from the center of stiffness and the centroid of each core
In this case, Vy can be assumed to be 1, given that the proportion of the load distributed by each is element is to be calculated
The first term of the equation represents the translational force and the second term is the rotational force due to the eccentricity of the load

Part C –Wind load and seismic load
Design wind loads for a tall building in Melbourne area (AS1170.2)
Relevant information follows:
Location and Terrain: Terrain category 3 zone with no shielding in Melbourne (Region A5)
Topography: assume ground to be flat
Dimensions: Average roof height 168m (Number of floors=42 and height of each floor is 4m)
Horizontal directions: 42m*42m square section
Building orientation: Major axis North-South
In order to calculate the wind load, calculate the wind pressure according to AS1170.2, Cl.2.4.1 as follows:
2.4.1 Design wind pressure
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
13
Step 1: Calculate the design wind speed
Note: The orientation of the building major axis is specified for this project:
North-South Direction
Next, determine Vsit, β according to Cl. 2.2:
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
14
Next, each of VR, Md, Mz,cat , Ms and Mt are defined from the relevant sections as pointed.
Region wind speed (VR) Cl. 3.2
According to the Building Code of Australia (BCA), the structure should be treated as Level 3. Hence take average recurrence interval, R, for loading and overall structural response equal to 1000 years.
Note: -V1000 is a common return period for buildings
-1000 year return period: 1/1000 probabilities that the wind speed is exceeded
From Table 3.1 in AS/NZS1170.2, V1000 = 46 m/s (Region A)
Wind direction multiplier (Md) Cl. 3.3
Md = 1 for Region A5 with direction of wind is N (Table 3.2)
Terrain/Height Multiplier (Mz, cat) Cl. 4.2
Terrain category is Category 3; this corresponds to Cl. 4.2.1(c). This actual value of Mz,cat is obtained from Table 4.1(A):
Mz, cat =1.22
Note: Mz, cat value is for the top floor and needs to be obtained by interpolation at other levels where Vsit, B is being calculated.
Shielding multiplier (Ms) Cl. 4.3
Shielding may be provided by upwind buildings or other surrounding structures. In this exercise, there are no other buildings of greater height in any direction –therefore, the shielding multiplier is taken as 1.
Ms = 1.0
Topography multiplier (Mt) Cl. 4.4 (b)
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
15
Elsewhere (i.e., Australia), the larger value of the following:
(i) Mt= Mh-defined by Cl. 4.4.1
(ii) Mt= Mlee-defined by Cl. 4.4.2
Hill shape multiplier (Mh)
The hill shape multiplier (Mh) is to be assessed for each cardinal direction. This takes into account the most adverse topographic cross-section that occurs within the range of directions within 22.5°on either side of the cardinal direction. The value is determined by the Cl. 4.4.2(a):
(a) For H/ (2Lu) < 0.05, Mh = 1.0 Cl. 4.4.4 (a)
Where
H= height of the hill, ridge or escarpment
Lu= horizontal distance upwind from the crest of the hill, ridge or escarpment to a level half the height below the crest
Ground is flat, hence H/ (2Lu) =0
Mh =1.0
Topography multiplier (Mlee)
The lee (effect) multiplier (Mlee) shall be evaluated for New Zealand sites in the lee zones. For all other sites, the lee multiplier shall be 1.0.
Mlee =1.0
Hence, Mt =1.0
Step 2: Calculate the Aerodynamic shape factor, Cfig
Values of Cfig are used in determining the pressures applied to each surface. For calculating pressures, the sign of Cfig indicates the direction of the pressure on the surface or element, positive values indicating pressure acting towards the surface and negative values indicating pressure acting away from the surface (less than ambient pressure, i.e. suction).
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
16
The aerodynamic shape factor (Cfig) is to be determined for specific surfaces or parts of surfaces as follows:
Cfig, i= Cp, i Kc, i, for internal pressures Cl. 5.2(1)
Cfig,e = Cp,eKaKc,eKlKp, for external pressures Cl. 5.2(2)
Cfig = Frictional drag forces, ignored since d/h < 4.read, Cl. 5.5
Where:
Cp, e= external pressure coefficient
Cp, i= internal pressure coefficient
Ka= area reduction factor
Kc, e= combination factor applied to external pressures
Kc, i= combination factor applied to internal pressures
Kl= local pressure factor
Kp= porous cladding reduction factor
Aerodynamic shape factor for internal pressure (Cp, i) Table. 5.1(A)
Assume the building is sealed:
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
17
Note: When calculating the base overturning moments Cp,i will cancel out as the above Figure points out. Cp,i is a useful parameter when estimating the external pressure on the surfaces.
Combination factor applied to external and internal pressure (Kc,e and Kc,i)
Kc,e = 0.9
Kc,i = 1.0
Cfig,i= Cp,iKc,i=0*1 = 0 OR Cfig,i= -0.2*1 = -0.2
Aerodynamic shape factors for external pressure (Cfig,e ) Table. 5.(A)
Cfig,e = Cp,eKaKc,eKlKp, for external pressures
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
18
Cp,e=0.8
Cp, e =-0.5
Cp, e =-0.65
Note: when calculating the along wind base overturning moment, the forces on the side walls are not included.
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
19
Cp, e =-1.3
Note: When calculating the along wind base overturning moment, the forces on the roofs are not included.
Area reduction factor for roofs and side walls (Ka) Cl. 5.4.2
Ka = 0.8
Local pressure factor for cladding (Kl) Cl. 5.4.4
The local pressure factor (Kl) shall be taken as 1.0 in all cases except when determining the wind forces applied to cladding, their fixings, the members that
directly support the cladding, and the immediate fixings of these members.
Kl = 1.0
CVEN90024 Design of High-rise Structures Mengmeng DONG 324292
20
Permeable cladding reduction factor (Kp) Cl. 5.4.5
The permeable cladding reduction factor (Kp) shall be taken as 1.0 except that where an external surface consists of permeable cladding
Kp = 1.0
Windward wall Cfig,e = 0.8*0.8*0.9*1.0*1.0 = 0.576
Leeward wall Cfig,e = -0.5*0.8*0.9*1.0*1.0 = -0.36
Note: Cfig,e and Cfig,e are parameters used to calculate the pressure at different levels on the Windward and the leeward walls

Result:
Deflection at the top of the building for Model A and Model B
The deflection at the top of the building is 850mm and 300mm respectively to Model A and Model B. It’s obviously that Model B gives a much smaller deflection compare to Model A. Model A just thin slab acting between walls and due to the slim nature of the slab, there will be a low flexural stiffness, the extend of coupling action is limiting. However in Model B by introducing beams between the cantilever elements this flexural stiffness can be greatly enhanced hence increasing the coupling action and hence improving the overall lateral resistance. Figure 10 graphically explain the above reason behind the header beam function.
Note: the deflection at the top of the building is hand calculated by using the formulas below:
Where W is the force action on the top of the building, l is the height of the building, E is Young’s Modulus of the concrete.

Note:
All the numbers are taking from the SpaceGass report. The sum of overturning base moment in Model A is 939.2327MNm while the sum of overturning base moment finds in Part C is equal to
938.370MNm. Those two values are quite similar (almost the same).
For the total base moment action on each column the percentages are also close to the Force percentages which find in Part B of the Project.
From above statement, its can see the Model A is analysis is quite successful.

Note:
Due to header beams at Model B, the coupling effect will decrease the overturning moment at the base but activate the push and pull action on the cores.
So in the Table above seeing decreasing values of overall moment compare to Model A, but there are values in forces in y-direction compare to Model A.
The base moment and coupling forces percentages are all in term the total overturning moment. The core moment takes approximately 43.66% of the overturning moment while the coupling forces takes about 56.34% of the overturning moment.
By add the sum of overturning moment to the moment due to these coupling forces, get the sum of overturning moment that is equal 937.370MNm which is approximately equal to the overturning moment in part C (938.370MNm)
In additional, depends entirely on the number of header beams that chose, the more header beams, the greater the coupling action. Because for Model B assumes that every floor has header beams, therefore, the percentages of the core moment are smaller than the percentages of the coupling forces.

Conclusion
Finding in Part B: The percentages of wind load resisted by six core cells in Part B is respectively to 18.4, 22.6, 9, 18.4, 22.6, and 9
Findng in Part C: The total base overturning moment for earthquke load =437.947 MNm while the totoal along-wind base bending moment = 938.370MNm for a 168m tall building. The along-wind loads is the one that dictates.
Find in Part D: For SpaceGass Model A, the overturning moment at base is all taking by the core cell and the values is 939.370MNm which is nearly the same compare to Part C value. The deflection at the top of the building is 850mm. For SpaceGass Model B, the overturning moment at base is combining from the moment caused by core cell and coupling forces. The core cell and the coupling forces take approximately 43.66% and 56.34% respectively of the total overturning base moment. The deflection at the top of the building is 300mm.
The header beams in the Model B is increasing the coupling action and hence improving the overall lateral resistance. Therefore the Model B is a better model to be used.
