Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Civil Engineering.
The current design standard, ASCE 7 (2010), requires that the lateral displacements of a building must be calculated, typically using structural analysis software, and compared with the specified displacement limits for earthquake loading. This research propose a simplified equation to calculate frame displacements under different lateral loads. The simplified displacement equation for calculation of elastic and inelastic displacements of frame buildings saves time and effort during for the preliminary building design. The simplified displacement equation can also be used for the assessment of existing buildings since the lateral displacement or drift is a critical parameter for the evaluation of a reinforced concrete building. This research derives the simplified displacement equation based on elastic beam theory. The accuracy of the equation, which is used for calculation of both elastic and inelastic displacements is validated by the similar procedures in the ASCE 7 standard. The accuracy of the proposed displacement equation is also verified by using linear elastic and nonlinear static analysis of 2-D and 3-D reinforced concrete frame models in SAP2000 (2013). The applicability of the simplified displacement equation is also expanded to mixed frames with shear walls and frames with different frame size. Moreover, the applicability of the simplified equation for the calculation of inelastic story displacements is verified by performing inelastic analysis of ordinary, intermediate and special moment-resisting reinforced concrete frames in SAP2000 (2013).
