FOREWORO

Shear walls and frames in combination normally provide the required stiffness and strength to withstand lateral loads in high-rise buildings. Apartment buildings up to 70 stories high have successfully utilized this concept. [n certain cases the walls me much stiffer than the frames and thus take most of the lateral load. For this reason, the participation of the frame in resisting lateral load is often ignored. TMs may not always be a conservative procedure and it is therefore important that the effect of the frames be considered, In this publication procedures are recommended for analyzing shear wall-frame interaction problems. A new simplified method for assessing the effect of the frames is also presented.

1. BEHAVIOR OF STRUCTURES UNOER LATERAL LOAO

A suggested procedure for lateral load analysis of high-rise buildings is illustrated by tbe flow diagram in Fig. 1 and this publication, as a design aid, will follow that pattern section by section. The following is a general introduction to the behavior of structures under lateral load.

1.1. Behavior

Difference

Between

A DESIGNAID

behavior under lateral load, i.e. if they are all rigid frames or all shear walls, the analysis is comparatively simple. The load can be distributed to the units directly in proportion to their stiffnesses. The difference in behavior under lateral load, in combination with the in-plane rigidity of the floor slabs, causes nonuniform interacting forces to develop when walls and frames are present (Fig. 2 [c]). Thk makes the analysis more difficult.

Frames and Shear Walls

A rigid frame, an interconnection of vertical columns and horizontal beams, bends predominantly in a shear modeas shown in Fig. 2(a). A shear wall deflects predominantly in a bending mode, i.e. as a cantilever, as illustrated in Fig. 2(b). Elevator shafts, stairwells, and reinforced concrete walls normally exhibit this behavior. It is not always easy to differentiate between modes of deformation. For example, a shear wall weakened by a row (or rows) of openings can tend to act like a rigid frame and conversely an infllled frame will tend to deflect in a bending mode. When all vertical units of a structure exhibit the same

1.2. Behavior of Floor Slabs

For analysis, the floor slabs are normally considered to be fully rigid within their own planes. This means that there will be no relative movement between the vertical units at each story level. In-plane deformation can be taken into account but is seldom important. Floor slabs bending out of plane contribute to the lateral stability of a structure by acting as beams between vertical members, and hence flat plate structures, for example, act like rigid frames. However, the strength of column-slab joints in flat plate structures must be checked

a useful parameter for assessing the effect of the openings is M, where /4,1 +.4,2 12fb !2 ~. ~ Icl +IC2 + ACIAC2 ) 4( H = total height of wall Ib = moment of inertia of a connecting beam h = story height b = clear span of beams !?= distance between centroidal axes of the wall sections I ,,, IC2 = moments of inertia of wall sections ACI, AC2 = areas of wall sections

With a single mwof openings the effect ofopeningson the stiffness can be assessed by comparing

carefully if they are to be used in resisting lateral load.

1.3. Effect of Torsion

The effect of torsion should be considered if the layout is unsymmetrical or if the stiff vertical units are close to the center of the structure, Some earthquake codes require that a structure be capable of resisting a specified torsional loading even if the applied lateral load theoretically does not cause torsion~ 1J * The importance of torsion may be asseseed by comparing results from simplified methods without torsion (Sections 2.1 and 2,2) and with torsion (Section 2.3).

1.4. Effect of Openings in Sberrr Wells

Openings can have unimportant effect onthe behavior of shear walls, The openings are normally invertical rows and in the common case ofasingle rowofopenings (Fig, 3[a]),

Coull and Choudhury’s chartsfz ,3) are particularly useful for problems with a single row or two symmetrical rows of openings. Shear walls with openings can be idealized as illustrated in Fig. 3(c), using a plane frame analysis program (Section 4.2). ‘For analysis of walls with openings, axial deformation of the wall sections should be included.

proportioned frame may be defined as one that has points of contra flexure at all nddbeam sections under lateral load. Any frame whose bay widths and member properties are reasombly constant across the width of tbe frame may be considered to be proportioned. The frame being proportioned and the column axial deformation being negligible are basic assumptions made in reducing a multi-bay frame to a single- or three-bay frame, The procedure for reducing tbe number gf bays is: at each story level, sum_aU cofynn inertias (Ie) and beam rotational sJiffnesses (lb/!). (lC is the moment of inertia of a cnhmm; Ib and !?are the moment of inertia and the span of a beam, respectively.) The equivalent stiffnesses to be used in the substitute frames thus become 1== Zid/2 and Ib/!? = ~-b/k?

If torsion is not considered, two simplified methods of determining the interaction of frames and shear walls are: . to use the charts given by Khan and Sbarounis(6) or PCA’S Advanced Engineering Bulletin No. 14,f7) and . to use Equation C (Table 2).

for the frame in Fig. 4(b). This procedure is clearly described by Khan and Sbarounis. Having thus reduced the problem, the shears on the frame, moments on the shear wall, and deflection can be found using the charts.

2.1. Use nf Charts from References 6 and 7

In order to use these charts the structure must be reduced ~~to a single frame and a singfe wall by addition of the properties of the separate vertical units. In both references the stiffnesses (Iw) of all the shear walls are summed to give an equivalent single wall. For the frames, Khan and Sbarnunis use a singfe-bay frame whereas Advanced Engineering Bulletin No. 14 uses a three-bay frame. These idealizations are illustrated in Fig. 4.

The component stiffness method has more flexibility than the charts method referred to above, but it lacks accuracy if the wall is more flexible than the frame (KW/Kf < 1; see below), The r?uzin assumption is that the frame takes constant shear, i.e. that the interactir.m force between the frame and wall can be represented by a concentrated force at the top. This is a reasonable assumption for preliminary analysis, especially when the frame tends to be flexible in comparison with the wall. Consider the single-bay frame and shear wall loaded in-plane by the uniformly distributed load shown in Fig. 5(a). If tbe frame shear is assumed to be constant, the system can be treated as a wall supported at the top by a spring (Fig. 5 [c]), The spring stiffness K is defined as the lateral point load applied at the top oft { e frame to cause ““it deflection in its line of action. Kf can be calculated using Equations A and B of Table 1 and the top deflection equation in the Table 2 notation. Kw is defined as the Iateraf point load required to cause unit deflect ion at the top of the wall (similarly to Kf). AS discussed in Section 1.4, Eq. (1) can be used for walls without openings and Eq. (2) for walls with a single row of openings. Table 2 (Equation C) gives relationships between P/W, 7w, and KJKf fOr different JOading cases. Si~l~ expressions for other load cases can easilv be established. P is the interaction load at the top of the-frame, i.e. the constant shear; W is the total applied lateral load; and 7W is a dimensionless parameter which relates the rotational stiff-

2.3. The Component with Torsion

Stiffoess Method for Structures

By making the assumption that the frames take constant shear (as for Equation C), the structure shown in Fig. 9(a) may be idealized as in Fig. 9(d). Two degees of freedom which correspond to the deformations A and 8 at the top of the structure (Fig. 9 [f]) can be assigned and the structure solved by the stiffness method, The analysis is carried out by adding the results from Systems 1 and 2 (Fig. 9 [e and f]). Lateral movement at the top of System 1 (Fig. 9 [e]) is

prevented by a force that equals R W, where R is the support reaction coefficient for a propped cantilever (e.g., for a uniformly distributed load, R = 3/8) and W is total lateral load. R W acts in the line of and in the opposite direction to the resultant of W at the top of the structure. For analysis of System 2 (Fig. 9 [f]), the roof slab can be considered as a rigid beam on spring supports. The spring stiffnesses are KW and K, as defined in Section 2.2. The equations for determining the unknowns A and O are set up as follows: Transverse equilibrium gives ZKi(A + X8) ‘R W

and therefore ZKiA + 2CKiX10 = R W

(3)

By taking moments about O, XKi(A + X#+)A’i= R Wa and therefore 2KiXiA + ZKiXfO = R Wa

(4)

The above Ki represents both the wall stiffnesses, KW, and the frame stiffnesses, Kfi and u is the distance Of applied load from origin. For delineation of X and a, see Fig. 9(f). Having solved Eqs. (3) and (4) for A and 6, the loads on the springs are F’i= Ki(A + Xi6) (5) If there are only two walls, simple statics gives the distribution of the total lateral load, W. With more than two walls, Eqs. (3) and (4) must be re-established, neglecting the frame springs and solving with Was the only loading (Fig. 9[b]). The resulting deformations are fictitious but can be used to calculate W,, i.e. the proportion of Wto each wall,accordingto Eq. (5) bysubstituting Wifor Pi.

walls

is:

A. Analyze System 1. I. Find the propped cantilever reaction coefficient, R, for the given loading. 2. Calculate the portion of W tributary to each wall by applying the system of Fig. 9(b). In both these calculations the frames should be ignored. B. Analyze System 2 as a rigid beam on spring supports (include the frames) to find the top loads, Pi, on each unit as shown in Fig. 9(f). C. Add results for the two systems. Care is needed with thesignsofthc forces. On a given unit, RWiisalways opposite indirection to Wi, and positive Pi from Eq. (5)wiObe inthesame directional W. The final Ioadingson the units are illustrated in Fig. 9(c). Situations coul,d occur where some values of Pi would be in the OppOsite direction to W, e.g. when the effect of torsion is pronounced. Theabove approach can be extended tocover problems where deformation in the longitudinal direction is also possible. Under these circumstances three simultaneous equations have to be solved.

Accuracy The main assumptions which could produce inaccurate results fmm this procedure are: . Constant frame shear. Thisassumption wiO tend to be more reliable when thestiffnesses of the fmmes are low compared with those of the walls. In problems with torsion, however, in addition to relative stiffness, the relative locations of the units are important andmayaffcct the accuracy. . Same beha~ior of walls. The method of assessing

the proportion of distributed Imd to the shear walls described previously is accurate only when all the walls exhibit the same behavior under lateral load, e.g. if they all have fixed bases and uniform properties with height. It may be rewonable,asa further approximation, to de fine KWstrictly as the load at the top to cause unit deflection in its line of action, taking account of nonrigid foundation, variation of properties with height, and openings (see Eq. [2]). These factors alsoaffect thevalueof R. The behavior ofashear wall. frame structure with torsion is bigMy complex and only rough accuracy should be expected from the procedure outlined previously. As with all simplified methods, unusual situations can occur for which the accuracy will be unpredictable.

Example Calculation with Torsion In Fig. 10(a) Wall 2 has been moved to the position of Frame 5 of Fig. 6(a) and Frames 5,6, and 7 have each been moved one bay to the right. This is not a practical system but serves here to illustrate the method and the effect of torsion in general. The steps outlined previously are followed in this example calculation. A. ANALYZE SYSTEM 1 Establish R

For uniformly distributed load, R = 3/8 and W = 547 kips (see Section 2.2.A). Therefore, RW= 3/8X

547 = 205

kipS

Distribute W to the Walls For this problem with only two walls, W can be distributed by simple statics: w .547 X24 lo9kips 1 —=120 W2 = 547 L 109 = 438!@ With more than two walls, an,analysis as shown in Fig. 9(b) is required. To illustrate the procedure, the calculations required for such analysis are set out in Table 5 as “Analysis of System 1.“ Columns (l) through (5) of Table 5 are used to calculate the coefficients for the equilibrium in Eqs. (3) and (4). For System I the frames are ignored and, with W substituted for R W, these equations become 11 ,664A, + 699,SOOfl ~ = 547 699,800A1 + 83,976,0000, = 547 X 96 These equations are solved to give Al and @, as in columns (6) and (7). Columns (8), (9), and (1 O) are for Eq. (5), which gives the values of Wi as calculated by statics above. B. ANALYZE SYSTEM 2 Equations (3) and (4) must be re-established with the frame
