Hi hokie66, Thanks for your reply again.
Shear walls are common but I have seen too many plans that core walls are the only shear walls that can go to the ground. The more common structure I have seen here is flat slab with core walls, and band beam with column / wall (normally being...
Hi GC_Hopi, Thanks for your reply. I am not relying on the FEA model and that's why I create this thread. I built the model to check the deflection and mode. Like I said, I am not comfortable with structure as well but I can't tell what the problem is with be for the model.
Hi AaronMcD, concrete moment frames are not popular here, I have seen too many engineering plans using band beams - columns system and the columns will be transferred at other floor. Same as this one, There is no place for me to have a ground-to-roof shear walls or portal frames at both ends.
Hi hokie66, thanks for your reply. The X dimension is actually around 80 metres, my bad. Putting architectural issue aside, what is the exact issue for a structure like this when the deflection and strength of element seem okay after FEA?
Hi Agent666, Thanks for you reply.
I am not comfortable with a structure like this as well especially the slab is cantilevered this long. But on the other hand, I can't tell what's wrong with analysis result from FE analysis though. I meant, the max deflection under lateral loads is 25mm at the...
Hi Guys, I have a 7-storey building of which the plan layout looks like below. Slabs and walls are all concrete.
My questions are:
1. Can I use the core wall only to resist the lateral loads including wind and earthquake in Y direction? The core is slightly eccentrically located in the...
