Abstract:
A study is made of the forces and displacements in multi-outrigger tall building structures. Simplified general equations are developed for the restraining moment of the out-riggers, the reduction in drift and the optimum location of the outriggers for maximum drift reduction. The efficiencies of various optimum and evenly spaced outrigger systems are presented. The assumptions used make the method of analysis suitable only for preliminary design guidance; however, some valuable general conclusions relating to the number and location of outriggers are drawn.

An influence coefficient method is presented for the analysis of the interaction between laterally loaded walls, of different cross-sectional shapes, and their connecting floor slabs. The results have been tested for both convergence and accuracy against those obtained by the finite element and finite difference technique. The method yields accurate results for both slab stiffness and stresses, with a considerable saving in computer time over the other theoretical analyses.

A simplified method is presented for the analysis of laterally loaded wide-flanged shear wall structures with rigid or flexible joints between web and flange. The flange and web elements may be either of solid or framed construction, the latter being included by replacing the frame panel by an equivalent orthotropic plate in which the shear modulus is chosen to model the racking behaviour of the rigidly-jointed frame. The results obtained are compared both with theoretical values obtained by the finite element and frame methods, and with the results from a series of tests on small-scale plexiglass models. The method gives results which are sufficiently accurate for practical purposes, and enable the degree of shear lag in the flange, the effective width, and the lateral deflection to be estimated rapidly.

The results of a study of the behavior of a shear wall stair shaft are summarized. Comparisons are made between deflections of a 1/24 scale Plexiglas model and predicted deflections from beam theory and finite element analyses. Both lateral loads and torsion are considered. Stair system stresses from a finite element analysis of a full scale, concrete prototype of the model are summarized. It is concluded that beam theory tends to over-estimate shear wall stiffness, and than an effort must be made to prevent damage to the stair system from severe shear wall deformations.

Two approaches are discussed for mathematical modeling of the elastic and inelastic response of infilled frames. The first approach is based on idealizations of local behavior, while the second is based on observations of overall behavior. Both approaches are found to give good representations of nonlinear response. The second approach, based on the equivalent strut concept, is believed to be efficient for use in analyzing the response of complex, infilled frame structures.
