14 Static and Dynamic Analysis 2.5 Exercise The residential building of the sketch includes a basement of area m 2 and height 3 m, a ground floor and four storeys of identical dimensions and a top floor of area 4 6 m 2 and height 2.5 m. The masses at levels 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are equal to M G =220 t and M Q =44 t, at level 5 to M G =180 t and M Q =44 t, while at the top level to M G =20 t and M Q =4 t. The building is situated in the seismic area Z 1 and the distribution of seismic accelerations is triangular. The design seismic acceleration of magnitude 0.12g is applied at the center of mass of the building. The calculation of the seismic and wind forces as well as a comparison between them is asked.

15 Volume B Since the building is residential ψ 2 =0.30 and consequently during an earthquake the dynamic masses are evaluated as M=M G M Q. Thus, the dynamic masses at levels 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are equal to M G+0.30Q,i=0-4 = =233 t, at level 5 is equal to M G+0.30Q,5 = =193 t, while at the top level is equal M G+0.30Q,6 = =21 t.

W [kn]: gravity loads F w [kn]: wind forces F s [kn]: seismic forces The total mass of the building during earthquake is M= =1146 t, while the CM (mass center) is located at distance z ο from the ground floor basis: tm z 0 = = = 9.0 m t 30 Apostolos Konstantinidis

17 Volume B Diaphragmatic behaviour In general, when there is eccentric loading at a floor, e.g. imposed by the horizontal seismic action, the in-plane rigidity of the slab forces all the in-plane points (therefore all column heads 1 on the slab) to move the same way. The 3 displacements δ z, φ x, φ y of each node belonging to the diaphragm are independent of each other, while the rest δ x, δ y, φ z are depended on the 3 displacements of point C T called Center of Elastic Torsion of the diaphragm. Displacements δ xi, δ yi, φ zi at the point i of the horizontal diaphragm are expressed as: φ zi =φ z δ xi =δ xct -y i φ z δ yi =δ yct +x i φ z Figure : Diaphragmatic behaviour of floor Figure : The displacements of a random point i of the diaphragm due to φz In a floor diaphragm of 20 main and 14 slave nodes, the number of the unknown displacements (degrees of freedom) is equal to =63. 1 The term column refers to columns as well as to walls. 40 ΙApostolos Konstantinidis

18 Static and Dynamic Analysis is indicated by the red dashed line at the Interface of the related software so that the engineer is able to check the order of magnitude of the distribution of the seismic accelerations. Furthermore, using this method there is no need for additional dynamic response spectrum analysis. Notes The main comparison is performed on seismic accelerations. This is based on the fact that seismic forces provide the same fast visual outcome with respect to their vertical distribution, provided that all floor masses are identical. When the principle system is inclined, for earthquake in x direction only, the seismic accelerations are developed in both x, y directions. Τhe same stands for earthquake in y direction only. The earthquake in x direction generates components in x direction only when the structure is symmetrical, otherwise it generates components in both directions.

However this general process is handling asymmetries as well, e.g. as in the 2 nd loading. 8 x is the point of zero shear force corresponding to position of maximum bending moment. 9 From structural analysis it is known that the maximum bending moment Mmax in a span i,j is located at the point m at distance x from the end i, where shear forces become zero. The moment at that point is given by the expression Mmax=Mi,j + AV where AV is the area under the shear forces diagram from the point i to the point m. In this example, since there is only uniform load, the area is AV=(Vi,j x)/2. EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 49

24 Volume B Modelling slabs using members and finite elements Finite element method assists in defining slabs behaviour with significant accuracy. However, in order for the results to represent the reality, suitable assumptions should be adopted. The effects of the following factors are examined thoroughly in Appendix A: 1) The frame behaviour at the regions close to columns 2) The deflection of beams 3) The torsional stiffness of beams The above factors affect the behaviour of slabs. In order to investigate this effect, a simple structure is being modelled in two ways: (i) Using members, according to which the slab is modelled as a grid of main and secondary joists, without the assumption of rigid bodies. (ii) Using triangular finite elements. The summary of Appendix A is presented below: Figure : The structure of project <B_331> of the related software (column sections 400/400, beam sections 300/500, slab thickness 170 mm) 64 ΙApostolos Konstantinidis

26 Volume B The frame behaviour in regions of columns The model using both members and more accurate two-dimensional finite elements, takes into account the slab frame behaviour in regions close to columns, in contrast to the inexpensive approach of simply supported slab throughout its length. However, in order for the slab to behave as a common frame with the columns in the actual structure, the slab-columns connections (where strong negative bending moments are developed) should be reinforced with strong, correctly placed and well anchored negative top reinforcement at slabs. For this reason, the slab analysis using finite elements in common worksheets should consider pinned supports on columns. Figure : Bending moment diagrams of joists of structure modelled with members (project <B_336>) In case of members, the two main side joists (of slab) forming a common frame with the columns, have greater torsional rigidity than the intermediate nearly simply supported main joists and bear heavier loads, thereby to develop strong negative bending moments at their supports and relatively low positive bending moments at their spans. The interim main joists develop strong positive bending moments at their spans, while being supported on the end joists through the secondary joists stressed by significant positive bending moments at their spans. 66 ΙApostolos Konstantinidis

27 Static and Dynamic Analysis In the more accurate model using two-dimensional finite elements, the main side strips behave intensively as frames. Τhe results are similar to those of using members with the following differences: (a) In the main side strips (corresponding to the main side joists) the frame behaviour is more intensive, since the moments at the supports are greater and moments at the spans are smaller, (b) In the interim main strips (corresponding to the interim main joists) the span moments are smaller, (c) The span moments of the secondary strips (corresponding to secondary joists) end up to be greater. This is due to the fact that the internal torsional stiffness of the slab elements (torsion) is stronger than the respective of members.

29 Volume B Example (project <Β_422-1>) The project deals with a simple one-storey building consisting of 9 columns, 12 beams and 4 slabs, as illustrated in the figure.

Figure Each color (on the 3D color scale bar) corresponds to a range of displacements (mm). For many years, the method of color gradation display of displacement contours was a 2D method of representing 3D information. Today, provided the 3D abilities, the direct 3D or 4D display is preferable, especially for stereoscopic display. 82 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

Figure : Front view of the 3D distribution of shear forces [Vy] ([V22] in FEM Results ). Figure : Side view of the 3D distribution of shear forces [Vy] ([V22] in FEM Results ). At the points of the slab (in this case of the cantilever) where fixed transverse support exist, numerous peaks are created, mainly for shears (in this case and kn) and secondarily for moments. These regions are forced to carry large part of the load of the adjacent slabs mainly near the supports. This is the reason why the occurrence of high shears shortly before and shortly after the support. However, these shears are taken into account in detail by considering their average values in a width, e.g. 1.0 m, which equals to 47.0 kn ( Slab Results ). EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGSΙ 111

Figure : View of the 3D distribution of bending moments [Mx] ([M11] in FEM Results ). Figure : Side view of the 3D distribution of bending moments [Mx] ([M11] in FEM Results ). The positive peak moments forming a sharp hole, at the region of the support exactly behind the cantilever, results from the negative load created at this region by the cantilever s moment. Notice that the influence of the strong cantilever, both in negative and positive moments, decreases in a small distance from the cantilever support. The insignificant differences in values of moments M x between FEM results and Slab results are due to the relatively small curvature of the 3D moment diagram M x. EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGSΙ 113

40 Volume B Unfavourable loadings and envelopes of stresses deflections The minimum load applied on a slab is equal to g whereas the maximum load is equal to p=(γ g - 1) g i + γ q q i. Τhe general problem concerns the way that the slabs should be loaded for developing maximum stresses. This is a complicated issue since, even for a simple case of six slabs arranged in a grid seven unfavourable loadings are required, as illustrated in the following figure. The analysis of such a simple example via tables can be performed only for equally grid axes max M1, max M4, max M5, min M2, min M3, min M6 max M2, max M3, max M6, min M1, min M4, min M5 max M1-2 max M5-6 min M3-4 max M1-3, min M2-4 max M2-4, min M1-3 max M3-5, min M4-6 max M4-6, min M3-5 The problem becomes even more complicated when slabs are not arranged in a grid. General and accurate analysis can only be achieved by means of the the finite element method. However, the resources for such an analysis require sophisticated algorithms and modern computers. The related software performs parallel processing of such algorithms on all available cores of a personal computer providing solutions to such complicated problems within seconds. The unfavourable loadings on the three previously resolved examples will be examined next. Calculations, taking into account the unfavourable loadings, are performed by selecting Adverse\ Slabs 1 in the tab Loads of pi- FES interface. Results are displayed by pressing, Adverse 2 and the stress resultant required e.g. Shears 3. Figure Figure Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

42 Static and Dynamic Analysis Figure : Deflection envelopes The largest slab deflection is equal to y=-2.00 (-1.53) mm and y=+0.24 mm. It is concluded that the slab is lifted, which is in contrast with the responseof the global loading case, due to symmetry of course. Figure : Front view of 3D deflection diagrams Figure : Side view of 3D deflection diagrams Notice that the deflections are as high as 30% while opposite sign deformations also arise (blue lines). EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 119

43 Volume B The BUILDING module Figure : In module BUILDING, the interaction of the slabs with the structure is taken into account resulting from point to point more or less favourable stresses compared to the module SLABS.. As explained in detail in chapter 3 and Appendix Α, the influence of beams and columns on the behaviour of a building is very important. In this example, the bending moment of the slabs S 1 - S 2 is significantly smaller compared to the SLABS module. The support moment, in this module, is provided directly on the side faces of the beams, wherein the detailing takes place. However, the peak moment in the middle of the support (in the middle of the beam) is much higher.

44 Static and Dynamic Analysis Multistorey buildings and envelopes Figure : The actual structure in 3D Figure : The structure s model in 3D For the slab analysis, the unfavourable loadings are created per floor, i.e. loading of any floor slab has no effect on slabs of other floors. In SLABS module this effect is obvious while in BUILDING module is rather insignificant. Project <Japan5>, running only in the professional version, consists of 10 floors with an area of 200 m 2.

45 Volume B 4.5 One-way slabs One-way slabs are those supported on two opposite edges, such as slab s1 in figure of 4.1. If a one-way slab is supported on more than two edges and its aspect ratio, i.e. the ratio of the larger to the smaller theoretical span, is greater than 2.0 (such as slab s3 in the same figure), it is considered as one-way slab in the principal direction while taking into account the secondary stresses in rest edges Static analysis Continuous one-way slabs are analysed considering a frame of continuous member s of rectangular shape cross-section, having width equal to 1.00 m and height equal to the thickness of the slab. The strip loads comprise self-weight, dead and live loads. Analysis is performed: α) approximately, by applying all design loads p=1.35g+1.50q (when live load is relatively small) β) accurately, by taking into account unfavourable loadings. Figure : Three-span continuous slab 146 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

46 Static and Dynamic Analysis Example: The three slabs (previous figure) have L 1 =4.50 m, h 1 =180 mm, g 1 =10.0 kn/m 2, q 1 =2.0 kn/m 2, L 2 =4.00 m, h 2 =140 mm, g 2 =5.0 kn/m 2, q 2 =2.0 kn/m 2, L 3 =4.00 m, h 3 =140 mm, g 3 =5.0 kn/m 2, q 3 =2.0 kn/m 2, where loads g include self-weight. Perform static analysis considering global loading in ultimate limit state. Design load in each slab is equal to p i =γ g g i +γ q q i =1.35 g i q i, thus on 1.00 m wide strip, it is: p 1 = =16.5 kn/m p 2 =p 3 = =9.75 kn/m The three-span continuous slab will be solved through Cross method.

56 Volume B Figure : Four-storey frame type structure comprising three columns In case of a basement, seismic forces developed at its roof level have a zero value. However, fixed end condition applies only to the base of the columns along the basement perimeter walls. If the frame also comprises walls, as presented in the following paragraph, the stiffnesses and the moment distribution of the walls differ between them. This difference becomes more distinctive as the number of stories increase. The total joint displacements and column stress resultants (shear forces and bending moments) are obtained from the frame analysis. Quantities K, k and a derive from the previous results. The apparent stiffness K i of storey i derives from the expression K i =V i /δ i, while the apparent stiffness of column j of storey i from the expression K i,j =V i,j /δ i. 238 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

Storey stiffness: Κ 3 = (20+15)/0.823=43. The same value is obtained if calculated as the summation of the column stiffnesses of the storey, i.e. K 3 = K 3,1 +K 3,2 + K 3,3 =43. If shear effect is taken into account (Shear effect=on), the displacements are δ 1 =0.85, δ 2 =1.05, δ 3 =0.84, δ 4 =0.50 mm, i.e. the difference is insignificant. If rigid bodies effect is taken into account (Rigid body=on), the displacements are δ 1 =0.80, δ 2 =0.97, δ 3 =0.77, δ 4 =0.45 mm, i.e. both decrease of displacements and increase of stiffnesses are small but measurable.

Indicatively, for the first storey the sum is =180, while for the last =40. The middle column of the first storey carries the 71.4/180=40% of the total shear force, while each of the end columns carries 30%. In the last storey the middle column carries the 18.6/40=46%, while each of the end columns carries 27%. In both frame and dual systems, for each column M o -M u =V h, where M o is the moment at the top, M u is the moment at the base, V is the shear force and h is the height of the column.

63 Static and Dynamic Analysis When a horizontal force H acts on a storey level, all the points of the slab including the column 9 tops move in accordance with the same rules due to the in-plane rigidity of the slab. These rules induce the diaphragm to develop a parallel (translational) displacement by δ xo, δ yo and a rotation θ z about the centre of stiffness C T (x CT, y CT ) in xc T y coordinate system, which is parallel 10 to the initial coordinate system X0Y and has as origin the point C T. The diaphragmatic behaviour may be considered as a superposition of three cases: (a) parallel translation of the diaphragm along the X direction due to horizontal force component H X, (b) parallel translation of the diaphragm along the Y direction due to horizontal force component H Y, (c) rotation of the diaphragm due to moment M CT applied at the centre of stiffness C T. The horizontal seismic forces are applied at each mass point, while the resultant force is applied at the centre of mass C M. In case the direction of the force H passes through the point C T as well as C M the moment has zero value and therefore the diaphragm develops zero rotation Translation of centre of stiffness C T along x direction Figure : Parallel translation along the x direction due to force Hx applied at CT 9 Henceforth the term column accounts for terms column and wall. 10 In the general case, i.e. in the case of columns with inclined local principal axes with respect to the initial system X0Y, the inclination angle of the principal system with respect to the initial system is a 0 (see Appendix C). Therefore, when the system of orthogonal columns is parallelly arranged then KX=Kx, VX=Vx, KXY=Kxy=0, meaning that a horizontal force applied at the centre of stiffness in x direction results in a displacement only along x (the same applies for y direction). EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 255

64 Volume B In case a horizontal force H x is applied at C T in x direction, the following 2 equilibrium equations apply: The sum of forces in x direction is equal to H x, i.e. H x =Σ(V xoi ) (i). The sum of moments V xoi about the point C T is equal to zero, i.e. Σ(V xoi y i )=0 (ii). Each column i carries a shear force V xoi =δ xo K xi. Σ(V xoi )=Σ(δ xo K xi )=δ xo Σ(K xi ), expression (i) gives H x =δ xo Σ(K xi ) H x =K x δ xo where K x =Σ(K xi ).

H y =K y δ yo where K y =Σ(K yi ) and X CT =Σ(K yi X i )/Σ(K yi ) Summarising, the centre of stiffness and the lateral stiffnesses are defined by the following expressions: Centre of stiffness and lateral stiffnesses: ( X i K yi ) X CT =, Hx = Kx δxo where Kx = ( Kxi ) (4 ) ( K ) Y yi (Yi K xi ) = ( K ) H CT, y y yo xi = K δ where Ky = ( Kyi ) (5 ) 256 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

65 Static and Dynamic Analysis Rotation of the diaphragm by an angle θ z about C T Figure : Displacements due to rotation developed from moment M applied at CT To determine the deformation developed by external moment M, applied at the centre of stiffness C T, the initial system X0Y is transferred (by parallel translation) to the principal system xc T y. The centre of mass is transferred to the principal system along the structural eccentricities 11 e ox, e oy in accordance with the following expressions: Principal coordinate system x i= X i X CT, yi Yi YCT =, e ox= xcm, e oy= ycm (6 ) The displacement of the diaphragm consists essentially of a rotation θ z about the C T, inducing a displacement δ i at each column top i with coordinates x i,y i in respect to the coordinate system with origin the C T. If the distance between the point i and the C T is r i, the two components of the (infinitesimal) deformation δ i are equal to δ xi =-θ z y i and δ yi =θ z x i. The shear forces V xi and V yi in each column developed from the displacements δ xi, δ yi are: V xi =K xi δ xi =K xi (-θ z y i ) V xi =-θ z K xi y i and V yi =K yi δ yi =K yi (θ z x i ) V yi =θ z k yi x i The resultant moment of all shear forces V xi, V yi about the centre of stiffness is equal to the external moment M CT, i.e. M CT =Σ(-V xi y i +V yi x i +K zi ) M CT = θ z Σ(K xi y i 2 +K yi x i 2 +K zi ) Torsional stiffness K zi of column i Columns resist the rotation of the diaphragm by their flexural stiffness expressed in terms K xi y i 2, K yi x i 2 (in N m), and their torsional stiffness K zi, which is measured in units of moment e.g. N m. 11 The eccentricities eox, eoy are called structural because they depend only on the geometry of the structure and not on the external loading. As presented in chapter 6, besides structural eccentricities, accidental eccentricities also exist. EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 257

66 Volume B Assessment of building torsional behaviour The degree of the torsional stiffness of a diaphragmatic floor is determined by the relation between the equivalent mass inertial ring (C M, l s ) and the torsional stiffness ellipse (C T, r x, r y ). The optimal location of the two curves is where the torsional stiffness ellipse encloses the mass inertial ring. Figure 5.4.4: Equivalent mass inertial ring (CM, ls) and torsional stiffness ellipse (CT, rx, ry) A building is classified as torsionally flexible [EC ] if either r x <l s or r y <l s is satisfied in at least one diaphragm storey level. In this example both conditions are satisfied. For a building to be categorized as being regular in plan, the two structural eccentricities e ox, e oy at each level shall satisfy both conditions e ox 0.30r x & e oy 0.30r y [EC ]. In this particular example the first condition is satisfied e ox =0.94 m 0.30r x (= =1.173 m), whereas the second one is not e ox =1.34 m 0.30r x (= =0.924 m). Therefore the building that comprises that specific floor diaphragm is not regular in plan. Simplified seismic analysis may be performed, provided that the following conditions are met for each x, y direction: r x 2 > l s 2 + e ox 2 r y 2 > l s 2 + e oy 2 [EC (8) d)]. In this example the first condition is satisfied (=15.3)> (= =8.8), whereas the second one is not (=9.5)< (= =9.7). We therefore conclude that the simplified seismic analysis may not be performed at the building including this particular floor diaphragm. 268 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

Each point of the diaphragm (therefore the C T as well ) has the same principal displacements δ XXo =0.684 mm, δ XYo =0. The diaphragm develops only a rotation θ XZ about C T. The displacements of each point i due to rotation are equal to: δ Xt,i =δ X,i -δ XXo, δ Yt,i =δ Y,i -δ XYo. The C T derives from the expressions: X CT 25 =X 1 -δ Yt,1 /θ XZ =3.646 m Y CT =Y 1 +δ Xt,1 /θ XZ =3.316 m 22 The analysis of the diaphragmatic floor is performed automatically by the software. Algorithms are verified using the tools provided by the software. In this example with zero angle a of the principal system, all the diaphragm data may be calculated by two simple analyses and by the equations of the special case a=0, already presented in the previous paragraphs. Here, the general case of columns arranged randomly is been used, which applies even in the special case of the rectangular columns in parallel arrangement. The method is explained in detail in Appendix D. 23 The horizontal seismic load is applied at the CM. The eccentricity of the loading can be given also as equivalent torsional moment MCM,X=HX cy, which in this case is equal to MCM,X= =90.6 knm. This additional eccentricity aims to increase the effect of the rotation, i.e. to give larger displacements due to rotation, in order to calculate the torsion related data of the diaphragm more accurately. 24 In the special case of an one-storey building comprising only rectangular columns arranged parallelly to the axes X,Y, the horizontal force acting in X or Υ displaces the diaphragm only in X or Υ. 25 The equations determining the CT coordinates are general and may be applied for each point.

The calculation has been performed for the sake of generality. To this end, other quantities have also been calculated, such as the centre of stiffness, which in this case is obtained from the simple application of moment at the point CM.

To compare all cases, the displacements are divided by a= mm. The displacements of the center of stiffness C T and of columns c4 and c13 are listed in the following table: 280 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

Their application point of the seismic accelerations is the diaphragm s centre of mass. For nodes not belonging to a diaphragm, such as the nodes of the corner column of the building illustrated in the figure, the application point of the seismic accelerations is the node position.

The first mode is the fundamental one as its effective mass is the 84% of the total mass. All four modes are translational and not torsional, as expected, due to the double symmetry of the structure.

74 Volume B Wall-equivalent dual type structure Figure : Structure comprising only columns and perimeter walls, project <B_642-1> The structure derives from the frame type structure of by replacing columns c2, c5, c8 and c11 of cross-section 400/400 with four perimeter walls of cross-section 2000/300. The main mode shapes of the modal analysis of the first case of the wall system are illustrated in the following page (The modes of the other three cases are similar). In the next four pages, the characteristic quantities for all cases are presented. It is extremely useful to compare between the variants of the wall system, but also between the frame and wall systems. General conclusions of the wall system: 1) In all cases, the natural period of the first mode shape is of the order of 0.70 sec. If however the stiffnesses of the elements are taken as being 100% of the elastic, the value of periods is of order of 0.50 sec (see 6.3.3). 2) The wall system behaviour is clearly better than the behaviour of the frame system, particularly when in the presence of a basement with perimeter walls. 322 ΙApostolos Konstantinidis

The sum of the effective modal masses of the 12 first modes amounts to 99.5% and 98.1% of the total mass of the structure in x and in y directions respectively. EARTHAQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS 323 Ι

78 Static and Dynamic Analysis D.1 Subject description APPENDIX D DIAPHRAGMATIC BEHAVIOUR OF MULTISTOREY SPACE FRAMES GENERAL CASE The assessment of the behaviour of one-storey plane frames under horizontal seismic forces was presented in paragraph 5.1, where the structural unit examined was the column (or wall). In appendix Β, the crossbar was used to assess the behaviour of the multistorey plane frame. In this chapter, the composition of space frames, through beams and slabs, is considered. The diaphragm is the structural unit for the assessment of coupled space frames. Studying paragraph 5.4 and Appendices B and C is recommended in order to better understand this chapter. Figure D.1-1: The structural frame with 6 levels, project <B_d1> EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 395

79 Volume B A diaphragm is the horizontal part of the floor consisting of slabs, connecting beams and columns. A floor may comprise more than one diaphragm, as shown in the example building of the present paragraph. Figure D.1-2: The space frame structural model with bars of columns and beams and diaphragms The most characteristic point of the diaphragm is the centre of stiffness, described in paragraphs 3.1.4, and C.5. The centre of stiffness C T of a specific floor diaphragm is defined as the point about which the diaphragm rotates, under horizontal seismic force H. The C T point depends only on the geometry of the floor and is independent of the loadings, meaning that regardless the magnitude of the force, which may become equal to 2H, or 3H, or any other value, the centre of stiffness will remain the same. Of course, it depends on the geometry of the overlying and the underlying floors. Principal axis system of diaphragm is defined as the orthogonal axis system xc T y, in which when a horizontal seismic force H is applied on C T, along axis x (or y), it results in translating C T only along axis x (or y respectively). The angle a of the principal system, as to the initial system X0Y, is called principal angle of the diaphragm. The above diaphragm data as well as the torsional stiffness K θ and torsional ellipse stiffness ellipse (C T, r x, r y ), should be calculated in a general way. The method to be used should deal with more than one diaphragm per floor. Moreover, the general solution should account for the influ- 396 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

80 Volume B D.2 General method for the calculation of the diaphragm i data Step 1: Analysis under force H Χ and concentrated moment M CM,X applied at the centre of mass of diaphragm i. Figure D.2-1: Loading: Force HX=100 and moment MCM,X on centre of mass CM of diaphragm i Results: total displacements of structure and displacements of diaphragm i The two displacements δ XX1, δ XY1 of point 1 of diaphragm i and its angle θ XZ are required. Any value may be given to force H Χ, as long as it is the same for the analyses of the three first steps. In this example, H Χ is given equal to 100 kn. The application point of force H is irrelevant, but for higher accuracy in calculations, the force is assumed applied at an arbitrary eccentricity c y, e.g. 2.0 m, in relation to the centre of mass, in order to produce a significant rotation of the diaphragm and thus achieve a higher accuracy in the calculations. That eccentricity is essential, especially in cases where the centre of stiffness is close or coincides with the centre of mass. Therefore, in addition to force H Χ, moment M CM,x =100kN 2.00m= 200 knm is also applied at C M. 398 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

81 Static and Dynamic Analysis The magnitude of force H needs to be important enough to result in significant diaphragm translations that can be distinguished from the translations due to moment. The application of the sole moment in the absence of force H results in rotation, but also in translations, which cannot be calculated since the centre of stiffness is still unknown. Point 1 corresponds to column Κ2 joint, but could be any point of the diaphragm. Figure D.2-2: The diaphragm displacements in plan, due to 2 parallel translations δxxo, δxyo and one rotation θxz The only results needed from this analysis are the translations of point 1 δ XX1 =2.681 mm, δ XY1 = mm and the angle θ XZ = of the diaphragm. The displacements of point 2 will be used only to verify the generality of the method. All displacements are absolute with respect to the ground. EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 399

82 Volume B Step 4: Analysis results from loading 1 minus analysis results from loading 2, meaning that only moment and only rotation exists about the centre of stiffness C T, which remains stationary with respect to the ground. Figure D.2-7: The only load acting on diaphragm i is moment on CT Diaphragm displacements are induced only due to rotation The centre of stiffness CT remains stationary with respect to the ground Using this trick, namely by subtracting analysis 2 results from analysis 1 results, the diaphragm i develops only rotation, while the remaining diaphragms develop both translations and rotation. However only diaphragm i is examined here. The most important result of this trick is that the diaphragm i is rotated about C T, which remains stationary with respect to the ground, allowing the calculation of its precise location. The rotation angle of diaphragm i is the rotation angle θ XZ calculated in step 1 under the corresponding loading. 404 Ι Apostolos Konstantinidis

83 Static and Dynamic Analysis Also K θ =M XH /θ XZH =M XM /θ XZM = Nm. The constant moment value in all diaphragms and the respective calculation of torsional stiffness is utilized in the determination of the equivalent system of D.6. D.5 Torsional stiffness distribution Torsional stiffness distribution of diaphragm is the curve on which, if the idealised columns with the same lateral stiffnesses as those of the diaphragm, are placed symmetrically with respect of the centre of stiffness, the torsional stiffness derived is the same as that of the diaphragm. Figure D.5 Torsional stiffness ellipse of diaphragm is defined as the ellipse having C T as centre and r x = (K θ /K yy ), r y = (K θ /K xx ) as radii. r x = K θ /K yy = [ Νm/ N/m]=9.28 m r y = K θ /K xx = [ Nm/ N/m]=10.42 m EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS Ι 407

84 Volume B Example D.7.2: In the three-storey structure of project <B_d9-2> using the related software or any other relevant software, for each of the three loadings in this particular example the two translations of node 9 (column C1) and the rotation of the diaphragm of level 2 are calculated. Optionally, the translations of the other diaphragm points may be calculated. All diaphragm data are computed based only on the displacements of node 9.
