Question: ( 1 5 marks ) Fig. 2 - 1 shows a RC structure with symmetric and rectangular floor plan. The total height H of the
marks Fig. shows a RC structure with symmetric and rectangular floor plan. The total height of the building is with storey height of The wind loads are defined based on Code of Practice on Wind Effects in Hong Kong Some information is given as follows:
The dimensions of the building and are given in Fig.
Take topographic multiplier and directionality factor Assume they are the same for both and directions.
The fundamental frequencies of vibration along and directions are equal to and respectively.
Take damping ratio equal to along both and directions.
The wind pressure are assumed to be uniformly distributed along the building's height, with value where is design wind pressure at the top.
Write down necessary assumptions if any in your solution. Show your steps clearly.
a Determine the along wind shear force, alongwind moment, and torsional moment at the base level due to wind along direction only.
