My question is how to calculate deflection of a multi-storey shear wall?
Assume an 8 storey structure with a rigid diaphragm.
And the lateral load resisting system is a RC core with 4 sides at the centre. I only have to resist wind loads. No seismic.
At some point mid-height (say the 5th...
I have an 8 storey structure with a rigid diaphragm.
The lateral load resisting system is a RC core at the centre.
I only have to resist wind loads. No seismic.
Assume the building is square with plan dimensions of 100' x 100' and the core is 4 walls with dimensions of 20'x20'.
And the floor...
In Canada, the Code specifically states that a partition weight of not less than 20 psf be added to the Dead Load unless the partitions are permanent and shown on the drawings.
If you were to calculate the weight of a typical wood stud wall it would only be around 5 psf.
For a hollow core /...
I'm working on a single storey commercial building where the steel beams and columns are located within the exterior walls which are made of six inch steel studs. The cross bracing I'm using is steel angles.
My question is: What details have you seen in this situation? Should I be designing...
