THE STUDY OF STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF BRACED CONCRTE TALL BUILDING FRAMES

Abstract

In this study and according to European Specifications for Structural Concrete Buildings Standard in which the effect of the wind loads was applied on concrete tall building designed frames depending on the location and topography of the construction place. In order to study the structural behaviour of the frames, different types of tall building forms were assigned with equal dimensions. The frames were defined, simulated, analyzed, and designed by using structural design commercial available software (ETAB 2016).The analysis results obtained were tabulated and figured according to maximum values of beam forces, column forces, lateral story displacements, and story drifts. These results were compared using graphical presentation. The data were resulted and discussed, and eventually. In order to get the most economical frame of all studied cases, that the self-weight of each frame was obtained and compared, whereas the heights of all models and the dimensions were the same. The data were resulted and discussed, and eventually, the affect degree each frame by changing the structural frame
