Summary: | This research is aimed to investigate the behavior of three dimensional
steel building due to lateral loading. Th
ere are four models being developed to
achieve the objectives of this study. The main objective of this study is to
determine the sway or non sway criteria
of the three dimensional seven storey
model by using S-FRAME and S-STEEL software under Computer Services
Consultants (CSC) UK Limited. S-FRAME is
used to analyses the structure of
building while S-STEEL is used to design the structure of the building. From
the study, the result shows that the crite
ria of sway and non sway are depend on
the elastic critical load factor,
λ
cr,
of the frame. Due to notional horizontal force
and vertical force applyed on the three
dimensional braced frame structure, the
deflected shape of the structure is very small. The lowest
λ
cr
value of the brace
frame structure with pin connection is 6.3623 while the
λ
cr
value for the brace
frame with fixed connection is 16. 975 which is 63 % more than the brace frame
with pin connection. From that, it can be
concluded that, the three dimensional
seven storey brace frame structure with
pin connection is classified as sway
frame, while the three dimensional seven storey brace frame with fixed
connection is classified as non sway fr
ame. It again proves that S-FRAME and
S-STEEL is a powerful design tools. User-friendly manual procedures are
constructed as written in the Chapter 4. |
