center of gravity of structure
center of gravity of structure
(OP)
Hello,
In finding the center of gravity of structures,ie, core walls(3 core walls located at various location of the building), it is normally ;1.) establish your reference point 2.) take the individual components(walls) of each core walls(x&y axis on "plan"), and from this you can get its center of gravity.
I've seen some calculations take all the "loadings" of the core walls/structures and from there, they get the center of gravity of the core walls. Any ideas regarding this? Which one is the most reliable method?

What is your goal here? Distribution of lateral forces?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Never heard of method 2.
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
