Finite Element Ana1ysis of Ta11 Buildings

J.C. Mamet

Department of Civil Engineering and App1ied Mechanics

ABSTRACT

Ph.D. March 1972

A new global approach to the ana1ysis of ta11 building struc­

tures by means of finite e1ements and a substructure ana1ysis of the

f100r slabs is presented.

It may be used for a large variety of building configurations

comprising slabs, wa11s, co1umns, beams, diagonal braces, etc.

The program incorporates a set of new disp1acement functions

particu1ar1y suited for civil engineering prob1ems and an original use

of fictitious beams for the transmission of externa1 moments acting in

the plane of the e1ements. This formulation is used at the abutment

of 1inte1 beams into shear wa11s, where a semi-rigid connection may

be specified.

The program is used in a study of building structures consist­

ing of end shear wa11s and intermediate frames under 1atera1 10ad, with

emphasis on the influence of the bending of the f100r slabs in their

own plane. It is confirmed that the usua1 assumption of the rigid

f100rs resu1ts in the under-design of the co1umns at the 10wer f100rs.

RESUME

Ph.D. Mars 1972

Une nouvelle méthode d'ana1yse des bâtiments-tours par la

méthode des éléments finis est présentée. Les dalles des planchers

y sont considérées comme sous-structures.

Elle peut @tre utilisée pour une grande variété de structures

comprenant notamment des dalles, murs de refend, colonnes, poutres,

diagonales de contreventement, etc.

Le programme d'ordinateur fait usage de nouvelles fonctions

définissant les déformations des éléments et convenant particulière­

ment aux applications du génie civil, ainsi que de poutres fictives

pour la transmission de couples externes agissant dans le plan des

éléments.

Celles-ci sont utilisées notamment pour étudier 1 1 encastrement

des poutres-linteaux dans les murs de refend. Un encastrement élastique

peut être considéré.

Le programme est utilisé pour 11 étude de structures de batiments

comprenant des murs d'extrémité et des cadres rigides intermédiaires et

soumis à des charges horizontales.

L'effet de la déformation des dalles dans leur plan est étudié,

et lion confirme que 1 1 hypothèse usuelle des planchers rigides conduit

à la sous-estimation des efforts des colonnes, aux étages inférieurs du

bâtiment.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Preamble

- l -

The availability of digital computers and the growing demand

for high rise structures have resulted in considerable progress in the

analysis of tall buildings in the last twenty years during which new,

taller and more efficient types of structures evolved.

Modern buildings of the first half of this century used to

consist mainly of steel or con crete rigid frames connected by floor

slabs, but the contribution of the walls and partitions to the lateral

rigidity of the structure was ignored. As the need for more lateral

stiffness increased with the height of the buildings, vertical walls,

or vertical wall assemblies became the major components in the resis­

tance to horizontal loads.

The term II shear wall ll is usually reserved to plane vertical

walls resisting the horizontal loads applied in that plane. Wall

assemblies normally found around elevator and utilities' shafts and

resisting horizontal loads from all directions are referred to as

IIcoresll.

The popularity of core structures in which the external columns

play little or no part in resisting the horizontal loads is closely

related to the advent of the modern slip form technology. Most recently,

facade panels consisting of closely spaced columns and floor beams have

been made to contribute significantly to the lateral stiffness of very

tall structures, hence the idea of the building being enclosed within

a structura l Il tube ll .

1.2 Methods of Analysis of Tall Buildings

This work is concerned with the linear, static analysis of

* tall buildings. Conferences (1) and excellent review pa pers (2)

have contributed to assess our knowledge in this field.

There is little need to recall the old methods of analysis

of plane frames based on Hardy Cross' relaxation technique and suited

for hand calculations (3,4). The I canti1ever" and "portal" methods

are still in use for preliminary design but computer programs have

taken over for more accurate work (5). Such is the case also for

the analysis of three-dimensional rigid or braced frame structures.

The essential prob1em of the coupled plane shear walls subjected

to horizontal loads has been the object of considerable attention during

the last ten years. Three main trends may be distinguished in the work

published so far. In the continuum approach, the lintel beams connect­

ing the walls are replaced by an equivalent lamina and a continuous

shear function is substituted for the redundant shear forces in the

beams. This approach is best il1ustrated by the works of Beck (6),

Rosman (7), Coull and Chaudhury (8,9), and others. It is applicable

to shear walls having one or severa1 rows of openings (7,10) and to

regu1ar shear wall-frame structures of constant floor height (11).

More adaptable to other configurations is the equivalent frame

method where the shear walls are considered as wide columns (12); the

whole problem is then reduced to the analysis of a plane frame which

* The numbers in brackets refer to the bibliography.

may be performed by applying the general stiffness or displacement

methods calling for the solution of a system of linear equations

(5,13) or an iterative procedure (14). In this case irregular com­

binations of shear walls and frames may be considered.

Less publicized are the capabilities of the finite element

method which is well suited for the analysis of shear walls of any

shape, at the cost of only minor refinements.

Symmetrical three-dimensional structures consisting of parallel

frames and shear walls may be reduced to an equivalent two-dimensional

wall-frame system if it is assumed that the floor slabs behave as rigid

diaphragms in their own plane and that no vertical shears are trans­

mitted from one frame to another (15,16,17).

For the analysis of true three-dimensional structures, that

is structures that may not be reduced to two-dimensional configurations

by virtue of their symmetry, Jaeger et al (lB), Rosman (19) and Gluck

(20) have extendèd the continuum method of analysis of plane shear

walls and have obtained the deflections and internal actions by solving

a system of linear differential equations of equilibrium or compatibility

(19).

With the same approach, Michael (2l) has studied the torsional

behaviour of core walls coupled by lintel beams.

Winokur and Gluck (22) and Stamato and Stafford Smith (23), on

the contrary, call for the solution of a system of linear equations of

equilibrium obtained from a stiffness analysis. Coull and Irwin (24)

combine the advantages of bath continuum and Qquilibrium approaches.

In all these cases, coupling between the individual shear

walls or frames located in different planes is performed by the floor

slabs, which are assumed again to be infinitely rigid in their own

plane. This assumption is extremely helpful in reducing the number

of redundancies considered in the analysis, since only three rigid

body degrees of freedom, plus a number of vertical displacements at

convenient points are then needed to describe completely the behaviour

of the structure under lateral as well as vertical loads. Also, when

evaluating the interaction between these vertical bents,the warping

rigidity of the floor slabs is neglected. This assumption is not

compatible with the usual presente of heavy floor beams perpendicular

to the shear walls.

Dickson and Nilson (25) have considered the case of cellular

buildings made of continuous shear walls and slabs subjected to mem­

brane actions only.

Goldberg (26) has performed the analysis of structures consisting

of parallel shear walls and frames. The warping stiffness of the floor

slabs was again neglected; however, the effect of their in-plane deform­

ations was included. This work was extended by Majid and Croxton (27)

in order to take into account the axial strains in the load bearing

parts of the structure, as well as the effect of accentric vertical

loads. The analysis of a ten-storey building having a length/width

ratio of only 3.2:1 and a slab thickness of 3 in. was carried out

according to this approach. The wind was resisted by plane shear

walls situated at the extremities of the building and by interior

three bay portal frames. The results were compared to those obtained

by assuming rigid floors. A discrepancy of up to 100% was observed

in the evaluation of the moments et the base of the central columns (27).

This result means that the usual assumption of the floors being

rigid in their own plane may be uBsafe. The authors do not indicate,

however, the value of the length/width ratio at which the discrepancy

begins to be significant. The method they use is, in addition, restricted

to the study of one type of structures consisting of floor slabs and of

parallel shear walls and ,frames, in which torsional effects are resisted

by forces in these planes only.

1.3 Scope of the Present Work

These remarks emphasize the need for a more general method of

analysis of building structures such that all aspects of their behaviour

may be considered at once. The preferred method will be the one in which

several loading conditions may be taken into account at little extra cost.

Stafford Smith (2), Majid and Croxton (27) and others point out

to the finite element method as the most powerful available technique.

This approach was demonstrated by Majid and Williamson (28).

However, the very large number of equations to be solved did not allow

them to analyse more than very small and elementary structures.

It is proposed in this work that this number of equations may

be significantly reduced by recognizing that most tall buildings conslst

of a restricted number of columns and shear walls connected by a large

number of floor slabs of a few different types, and by treating the

latter as substructures. A computer program was written along these

lines.

The procedure calls for the following steps:

1. Each typical floor is idealized by means of discrete

elements, six degrees of freedom being considered at

each node; its stiffness matrix and applied load vector

are generated.

2. Those nodes common to the floor and to the vertical system

consisting of columns and shear walls are regognized as

boundary nodes; the floor stiffness matrix and 10ad vector

are condensed so that only those degrees of freedom at the

boundary nodes are retained.

3. Steps land 2 are repeated for all typical floors; their

reduced stiffness matrices and load vectors are stored on

disco

4. The stiffness matrix and the load vector of the vertical

system are generated. At the intersection with each floor,

the stiffness coefficients and load vector of the appropriate

typical floor are retrieved from storage and added.

5. The system of equations thus formed for the whole structure

is solved, and the displacements at all the nodes of the

vertical system are obtained.

6. If necessary, the displacements, stresses and strains inside

the floors may also be calculated.

In order to make the program as compact as possible, the same

formulation for all the plate elements, whether they belong to the floor

substructures or to the shear walls has been adopted. Rectangular elements

were chosen for their good convergence properties and simplicity. This

imp1ies that structures made of rectangu1ar para11e1epipeds, a10ne,

may be analysed by the program described herein. Shou1d the need arise,

however, this limitation cou1d be removed by the introduction of sub­

routines for the derivation of triangu1ar (38), or even quadrilatera1

e1ement properties. This wou1d th en bring buildings of triangu1ar or

curved plan within the capabi1ities of the program.

Within this ' para11e1epiped context l, a11 possible configurations

may be accepted: frames, coup1ed shear wa11s, enc10sed shafts or coup1ed

core wa11s, slabs, whether mono1ithic or with ho1es, etc. The slabs and

wa11s themse1ves may be reinforced with edge beams or ribs and diagonal

braces may be inc1uded.

In order that a complete building structure may be represented

successfu11y by means of finite e1ements, a number of idea1ization

prob1ems have had to be solved. These are:

1. The selection of adequate disp1acement functions such that

a rapid convergence towards the true behaviour is attained

with a minimum number of e1ements and such that compatibi1ity

of disp1acements between adjacent orthogonal e1ements is

achieved. This point is dea1t with in chapter 2 and led

to sorne work on new disp1acement fields for the bending

of rectangu1ar plate elements.

2. The inclusion of the abi1ity to treat beam e1ements in such

a way that a variety of configurations such as rigid frames,

diagonal braces, 1inte1 beams, etc. may be considered within

a single idea1ization pattern.

The use of such beams for the evaluation of the in-plane

rotational stiffness of plate elements led to a new finite element

formulation of the plane coupled shear wall problem, in which semi­

rigid connections between the lintel beams and the walls may be con­

sidered. These points are treated in chapter 3.

The computer program itself, including the substructure analysis

is described in chapter 4, in which it is also used for the solution of

a number of three-dimensional structures.

In particular, in chapter 5, the analysis of various buildings,

four and eight storeys high, and resisting the lateral wind loads by

means of end shear walls and intermediate frames, is performed. The

number of bays in elevation and hence the length/width ratio of the

floors is treated as the variable.

This study provides additional information on the effect of

the deformation of the floor slabs in their own plane and demonstrates

the significant transfer of vertical loads between the shear walls and

the adjacent frames through the floor slab and beams.

Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made in chapter 6.

As may be seen, chapters 2 and 3 are concerned with very particular

idealization problems. They are treated as separate entities and may be

considered as the first part of the work.

Chapter 2. Choice of Finite Element Formulations

2.1 Introduction

A considerable number of finite element formulations have been

developed, both for membrane and plate bending problems (29).

In the analysis of building structures, however, the choice is

limited for the following reasons:

a) it is advantageous that the degrees of freedom considered

at each node be only the physical translations and rotations

in the direction of the coordinate axes;

b) mid-side nodes should be avoided in order to keep the band­

width of the stiffness matrices to a minimum;

c) the edge displacements of adjacent elements situated in

orthogonal planes should be compatible. This requirement

is particularly important for the junction between floor

slabs and shear wa11s if a proper value is to be obtained

for the stiffness of their assemb1ed structure.

Membrane disp1acement functions satisfying these requirements

consist of 1inear po1ynomia1s for the disp1acements u and v a10ng the

x and y axes, for triangula ... e1ements, and of bi1inear polynomia1s

in the case of rectangu1ar e1ements (29,30,31).

Due to the higher order of the latter po1ynomials, and hence

to their better convergence properties, the rectangular e1ements have

been selected in this study.

In bending, Irons (32) showed that it was impossible to formu1ate

a conforming displacement function if the transverse displacement w and

- 10 -

the slopes ~, aw at the nodes, alone, were considered as degrees ax ay of freedom, and if Kirchoff's assumptions were to be satisfied at the

same time.

Other element formulations for the bending of triangles thus

evolved, in which the lateral deflection w and the rotations ex' ey were expres5ed separately; shear deformations were thus taken into

account. This allows compatibility conditions to be satisfied separately

for w and ex' ey .

Such formulations were obtained by Melosh (33), Utku (34),

and Dhatt (35,36) and were used in a variety of problems such as

plate bending, shell analysis, analysis of tubular connections, etc.

(37,38,39).

The development of rectangular bending elements has been more

rewarding than the triangular ones. The non-conforming displacement

function containing twelve terms is well known (31). Bogner, Fox and

Schmit (40) restored the compatibility of slopes in the direction normal

to the interface of adjacent elements by adding a fourth degree of free­

dom (a2w/axay) at each node.

In order to obtain a conforming formulation with only three

degrees of freedom per node, shear deformations must again be included.

This was done by Wempner, Oden and Kross (41) who introduced

Kirchoff's constra;nts at a number of discrete points within the struc-

ture.

In this chapter, a new formulation for the bending of rectangular

elements with three degrees of freedom per node ;s discussed. Shear

deformations are included and the stiffness matr;x is derived by means

of an equi1ibrium a1gorithm.

Various resu1ts are given in section 2.3 and these compare

very favourab1y with those obtained by means of other formulations

having the same degrees of freedom.

The work described in this chapter was initiated by Mufti and

carried out by the author.

2.2 Element Formulation

A typical element, and a set of right-handed rectangular

Cartesian axes attached to it have been shown in Fig. 1. The positive

directions of the 1inear disp1acements u, v, w and of the rotations

ex' ey, ez are also indicated.

2.2.1 Membrane Action

The e1ement properties are developed within the scope of the

small def1ection plate theory, so that the membrane and transverse

disp1acements effects may be uncoup1ed. The displacements u and v

are given by:

and of the corresponding moments Mz'

2.2.2 Transverse Action

In the absence of shear deformations, i.e. when Kirchoff's

hypotheses hold, the assumption of a linear distribution for sx' Sy

results in a constant bending moment which would imply a state of zero

transverse shear. Conversely, the assumption of a constant traverse

shear would require a quadratic variation of the rotations or a cubic

distribution of transverse displacements.

When shear deformations are considered, however, independent

displacement functions which do not comply with these observations may

be chosen for w and for ex' Sy.

Two different formulations were investigated.

The displacement functions considered initially are as follows:

Functions 2 and 3 may be determined unique1y in terms of the nodal disp1acements, hence compatibi1ity of transverse disp1acement and rota­tions is ensured a10ng the four edges of the e1ement. However, Kirchoff's assumption

(5)

is no longer va1id within the e1ement, as mentioned above. In this formulation, the contributions of the transverse disp1acements and the rotations to the strain energy of the e1ement are obtained separate1y; the correspondi ng sti ffnesses are defi ned as [KJ and [Kb]. The el ement stiffness matrix [K] may thus be expressed as

Chapter 3. Particu1ar Prob1ems of Idea1ization

3.1 The Inclusion of Bearn Elements

In addition to the rectangu1ar plate e1ements described above,

linear, or beam e1ements are also needed in the ana1ysis of building

structures. The six displacements and rotations of Fig. 1 are consi~

dered at each end of the beam, and these 1ead to a 12 x 12 stiffness

matrix which is readily available in the 1iterature (5). The organi­

zation of the program is as follows:

Each beam element is assigned to a rectangu1ar e1ement, of which

it connects two nodes. Conversely, one rectangu1ar plate element may

"support" up to six beam elements along its sides and diagonals. These

six elements are markeci "a" to "f" in Fig. 9. Isolated lintel beams,

columns or diagonal braces are likewise assigned to a plate e1ement of

zero thickness.

viz:-

The calculations are organized to proceed element by element

i) the stress, strain and stiffness matrices are generated

fûr the plate itself;

ii) the stiffness matrix of the beams is calculated, and both

are added together.

Should the thickness of the e1ement be zero, or should no beam

be assigned to it, then the corresponding part of the calculations is

omitted automatically. This approach has two major advantages; firstly,

the required computation time is very small; second1y, since in most

cases one of the principal planes of the beams is parallel to the plane

e1ement, no further definition of the orientation of the members is

required. A f10w chart describing this particu1ar aspect of the program

is given in chapter 4. Provision for offset beams is inc1uded, and the

complete stiffness matrix of a beam situated at a distance d above the

e1ement is given in Appendix 2.

3.2 The In-plane Stiffness of the Plate Elements

In the formulation of the e1ement, on1y expressions for the u

and v in-plane disp1acements have been considered.

Since the contribution of the moment Mz acting in the plane of

each e1ement is ignored in the eva1uation of its stiffness matrix, the

latter contains four rows and co1umns of zero terms. When a11 the

e1ements situated around one node are cop1anar, this causes a singu1ar­

ity, for after transformation into the global system of axes attached

to the structure, on1y five out of the six equations of equi1ibrium

at that point are 1inear1y independent. When the plane of the e1ements

is para11e1 to a coordinate plane, the rows and co1umnsof zero terms

remain unchanged, and the prob1em may be overcome by adding large

numbers to the corresponding diagonal terms after formation of the

global stiffness matrix (31,37). For other orientations of the plane

common to the adjacent e1ements, arbitrary sma1l terms may be inserted

at the intersections of the zero rows and co1umnsof each e1ement ' s

stiffness matrix.

An expression was given for triangu1ar elements (48). It was

extended by Mufti for rectangular elements, and reads as follows (64):

MZ4 -0.333 -0.333 -0.333 l 6Z4

in which 8 is a small constant. The introduction of these terms removes the singularity problem connected with the 6Z displacement, irrespective of the orientation of the elements plane. It does not provide, however, for the transmission of a moment applied in that plane.

This is a major obstacle in the analysis of building structures. Such moments are transmitted by lintel beams to shear walls and also by twisted columns to floor slabs and are of the greatest importance.

In the remaining part of this chapter, the problem of the plane shear wall will be considered in detail.

3.3 The Analysis of Plane Shear Walls by Finite Elements In order to circumvent the problem outlined in section 3.2

regarding the transmission of moments applied in the plane of the elements, a number of special formulations have been developed.

McLeod (49) developed a new element by adding av/ax and au/ay as a degree of freedom at alternate nodes, thus introducing some asym­metry in the idealization (50). Spira and Lokal proposed additional displacement fields corresponding to unit rotations of each of the four nodes (51) whenever necessary; however, no results were given. Pole (52) used four degrees of freedom at each node thereby increasing the storage requirements considerably. Girijavallabhan, on the other

- 41 -

hand, replaced the lintel beams by a double row of slender rectangular

elements (53,54). Besides the enormous number of additional nodes

required by this method the stiffness of the lintel beams was exaggerated

so that the overall behaviour of the wall was slightly modified. Oakberg

and Weaver (55) used specialized elements along the edges of the wall.

Majid and Williamson (28) proposed to include flexural members along

the diagona1s of those plate elements whose in-plane stiffness was to

be considered.

In the present formulation, fictitious beams, having a zero

axial rigidity, and a non-zero flexura1 rigidity are added along the

sides of the elements as needed. A1though less systematic, this

procedure is preferred for its accuracy and its versati1ity. It

enables the ana1yst to reproduce the actual displacements and stress

distributions more c10se1y in a variety of circumstances, as is demons­

trated in the two fo110wing examp1es.

In Fig. 10 a simple cantilever subjected to an end moment is

shown. Three idealizations were used. Idea1ization A was obtained

by adding 2 vertical beams joining the end nodes of the cantilever.

In idea1ization B the beams were p1aced along the diagonals of the

two last elements, as suggested in (28). In these two cases the

beams were of the same material as the cantilever, and their moment

of inertia was given a nominal value of 0.1 in4. The cross-sectional

area of these beams was set to zero, in order not to modify the in-plane

behaviour of the plate e1ements.

Idealization C was obtained by adding beams along all the

element boundaries, and was included to see if a uniform beam pattern

cou1d be adopted for the solution of these prob1ems. In this case

the beams form a complete frame superimposed on the cantilever and

cou1d stiffen it considerab1y. A sma11 investigation showed that

a f1exura1 rigidity of 10-1 lb in2 was the most suitable. Fig. lOb

gives the deflections of the cantilever in these three idealizations.

Table 7 giving the stresses crx' cry and crxy emphasizes the ability of

the first idealization to depict the stresses more accurately near

the point of application of the moment. Idealizations Band C induce

direct stresses in the y direction and also shear stresses to the

detriment of axial stresses. This explains the deflected patterns

of Fig. lOb.

In fig. 11, a typical case of a beam, embedded in a plane

continuum is shown. Again, the formulation of the simple rectangular

element does not provide the rotational stiffness required at node A

to ensure the fixity of the beam. Additional beams are thus provided

to elements land 2. This may be done according to Figs. lla, llb or

11c. For a detailed analysis of the stress concentration, an appropriate

mesh size wou1d be such that the height h be made equal to one third

of the depth of the embedded beam. Scheme llc is then most adequate.

When a coarser mesh is adopted schemel1a is preferred, for the moment

at A is then resisted by vertical reactions only. No horizontal stresses

are induced in the wall so that its overall stress distribution is only

little affected. This is shown in detail in Section 3.4. Fig. lla may

also be used to demonstrate how semi-rigid connections between the beam

and the wall may be idealized.

2.3.4 Coupled Shear Walls

Finally, the analysis of the shear wall structure shown in

Fig. 6 is given as a further demonstration of the properties of the

finite element formulation proposed. The structure consists of two

shear walls rigidly fixed at their base and connected by two thin

slabs. Concentrated lateral loads are applied as shown. The lateral

deflections are plotted in Fig. 7, along with those obtained by the

equivalent frame method of analysis of shear walls (12). In the latter

case, the effective width of the slab was taken as the clear opening

between the walls.

Excellent correlation is achieved. In Fig. 8, the deflected

shapes of various lines drawn on the slabs are shown.

Chapter 3. Particu1ar Prob1ems of Idea1ization

3.1 The Inclusion of Bearn Elements

In addition to the rectangu1ar plate e1ements described above,

linear, or beam e1ements are a1so needed in the ana1ysis of building

structures. The six disp1acements and rotations of Fig. 1 are consi­

dered at each end of the beam, and these 1ead to a 12 x 12 stiffness

matrix which is readi1y availab1e in the 1iterature (5). The organi­

zation of the program is as follows:

Each beam element is assigned to a rectangu1ar element, of which

it connects two nodes. Conversely, one rectangu1ar plate e1ement may

"support" up to six beam elements a10ng its sides and diagona1s. These

six elements are markeci "a" to "f" in Fig. 9. Iso1ated linte1 beams,

columns or diagonal braces are likewise assigned to a plate e1ement of

zero thickness.

viz:-

The ca1culations are organized to proceed element by element

i) the stress, strain and stiffness matrices are generated

fûï the plôte itself;

ii) the stiffness matrix of the beams is calculated, and both

are added together.

Should the thickness of the e1ement be zero, or should no beam

be assigned to it, then the corresponding part of the calculations is

omitted automatically. This approach has two major advantages; firstly,

the required computation time is very small; secondly, since in most

cases one of the principal planes of the beams is parallel to the plane

e1ement, no further definition of the orientation of the members is

required. A f10w chart describing this particu1ar aspect of the program

is given in chapter 4. Provision for offset beams is inc1uded, and the

complete stiffness matrix of a beam situated at a distance d above the

e1ement is given in Appendix 2.

3.2 The In-plane Stiffness of the Plate Elements

In the formulation of the e1ement, on1y expressions for the u

and v in-plane disp1acements have been considered.

Since the contribution of the moment Mz acting in the plane of

each e1ement is ignored in the eva1uation of its stiffness matrix, the

latter contains four rows and co1umns of zero terms. When a11 the

e1ements situated around one node are cop1anar, this causes a singu1ar­

ity, for after transformation into the global system of axes attached

to the structure, on1y five out of the six equations of equi1ibrium

at that point are 1inear1y independent. When the plane of the e1ements

is paral1e1 to a coordinate plane, the rows and co1umnsof zero terms

remain unchanged, and the prob1em may be overcome by adding large

numbers to the corresponding diagonal terms after formation of the

global stiffness matrix (31,37). For other orientations of the plane

common to the adjacent e1ements, arbitrary sma11 terms may be inserted

at the intersections of the zero rows and co1umnsof each e1ement ' s

stiffness matrix.

An expression was given for triangu1ar e1ements (48). It was

extended by Mufti for rectangular elements, and reads as fo110ws {64}:

in which B is a sma1l constant. The introduction of these terms removes the singularity problem connected with the eZ displacement, irrespective of the orientation of the elements plane. It does not provide, however, for the transmission of a moment applied in that plane.

This is a major obstacle in the analysis of building structures. Such moments are transmitted by lintel beams to shear walls and also by twisted columns to floor slabs and are of the greatest importance.

In the remaining part of this chapter, the problem of the plane shear wall will be considered in detail.

3.3 The Analysis of Plane Shear Wa11s by Finite Elements In order to circumvent the problem outlined in section 3.2

regarding the transmission of moments applied in the plane of the elements, a number of special formulations have been developed.

McLeod (49) deve10ped a new element by adding av/ax and au/ay as a degree of freedom at alternate nodes, thus introducing sorne asym­metry in the idealization (50). Spira and Lokal proposed additional displacement fields corresponding to unit rotations of each of the four nodes (51) whenever necessary; however, no results were given. Pole (52) used four degrees of freedom at each node thereby increasing the storage requirements considerably. Girijavallabhan, on the other

hand, replaced the lintel beams by a double row of slender rectangular

elements (53,54). Besides the enormous number of additional nodes

required by this method the stiffness of the lintel beams was exaggerated

so that the overall behaviour of the wall was slightly modified. Oakberg

and Weaver (55) used specialized elements along the edges of the wall.

Majid and Williamson (28) proposed to include flexural members along

the diagonals of those plate elements whose in-plane stiffness was to

be considered.

In the present formulation, fictitious beams, having a zero

axial rigidity, and a non-zero flexural rigidity are added along the

sides of the elements as needed. Although less systematic, this

procedure ;s preferred for its accuracy and its versatility. It

enables the ana1yst to reproduce the actual displacements and stress

distributions more c10se1y in a variety of circumstances, as is demons­

trated in the two following examples.

In Fig. 10 a simple cantilever subjected to an end moment is

shown. Three idea1izations were used. Idealization A was obtained

by adding 2 vertical beams joining the end nodes of the cantilever.

In idealization B the beams were p1aced a10ng the diagonals of the

two last e1ements, as suggested in (28). In these two cases the

beams were of the same materia1 as the cantilever, and the;r moment

of inertia was given a nominal value of 0.1 in4. The cross-sectional

area of these beams was set to zero, in order not to modify the in-plane

behaviour of the plate e1ements.

Idea1ization C was obtained by adding beams along all the

element boundaries, and was included to see if a uniform beam pattern

cou1d be adopted for the solution of these prob1ems. In this case

the beams form a complete frame superimposed on the cantilever and

cou1d stiffen it considerab1y. A sma11 investigation showed that

a f1exura1 rigidity cf ïO-1 lb in2 was the most suitab1e. Fig. lOb

gives the def1ections of the cantilever in these three idea1izations.

Table 7 giving the stresses crx' cry and crxy emphasizes the abi1ity of

the first idea1ization to depict the stresses more accurate1y near

the point of application of the moment. Idealizations Band C induce

direct stresses in the y direction and a1so shear stresses to the

detriment of axial stresses. This explains the deflected patterns

of Fig. lOb.

In Fig. 11, a typica1 case of a beam, embedded in a plane

continuum is shown. Again, the formulation of the simple rectangu1ar

e1ement does not provide the rotationa1 stiffness required at node A

to ensure the fixity of the beam. Additional beams are thus provided

to e1ements 1 and 2. This may be done according to Figs. lla, 11b or

11c. For a detai1ed ana1ysis of the stress concentration, an appropriate

mesh size wou1d be such that the height h be made equa1 to one third

of the depth of the embedded beam. Scheme l1c is then most adequate.

When a coarser mesh is adopted schemella is preferred, for the moment

at A is then resisted by vertical reactions on1y. No horizontal stresses

are induced in the wall so that its overa11 stress distribution is on1y

1itt1e affected. This is shown in detail in Section 3.4. Fig. lla may

also be used to demonstrate how semi-rigid connections between the beam

and the wall may be idealized.

Fig. lla. Then the rotation of that beam at A is

(24)

Michael (56) has suggested that the rotation SA due to the elastic

stress concentrations in the wall be expressed as

(25)

in which d is the depth of the lintel beam and t the thickness of the

wall. Equating the right hand sides of equations 24 and 25 gives

the following expression

(26)

Equation 26 gives a realistic value of the inertia of the fictitious

beams added to the shear \O/all. When total fixity is assumèd at A a

large value is substituted for lb.

Ea and Eb correspond to the materials used for the beam and

the shear wall respectively, and are the same when equation 26 is used.

This is not a requisite of the program, however, and different values

of Ea and Eb may be specified. This would be the case of a stell beam

embedded on the side of a concrete wall. In this case, equation 25

would be replaced by another expression giving the true stiffness of

the connectors.

3.4 Examples of Shear Wall Structures

Several problems have been analysed using this simple procedure.

Three of them are included here; another example may be found in (57).

A special computer program was used for this investigation. It was first

given in (31), and was modified by Mehrotra and Redwood (58). It

was then deve10ped to accommodate rectangu1ar as well as beam elements.

The first problem is the analysis of coupled shear walls connec­

ted by regularly spaced lintel beams. The dimensions and material pro­

perties are taken from (54), but small modifications were made so as

to meet the requirements of the continuum method of analysis. The

cross sectional area and the inertia of the top beam were thus halved;

the app1ied load initially distributed along the left hand side of the

structure was divided so as to make the problem skew symmetric.

Fig. 12 shows a typical idealization of the wall, and Fig. 13

shows the deflected profiles obtained by means of the procedure described

above, as well 'as by the continuum approach (6) and the equivalent frame

method (12). Fig. 14 shows the moments in the lintel beams as obtained

by these three methods. Fig. 15 shows the vertical stresses in the walls

at various elevations. Fig. 16 gives the convergence for the lateral

deflection at elevations 30.5,62.5 and 94.5 when l, 2 or 3 elements

are used along the width and the floor height of the wall. In all these

cases, the shear deformations in the lintel beams were neglected. The

connection between the latter and the walls was assumed rigide This

was achieved by assigning to the moment of inertia of the fictitious

beams an arbitrary value equal to one thousand times that of the lintel

beams. This multiplying factor was found to be adequate for most pro­

blems. In fact a value of only one hundred produces results within

0.5% of the former ones.

In addition, the effect of the elastic deformation at the

abutments of the lintel beams was also studied. In conformity with

equation 26, a moment of inertia of 4.0 ft4 was assigned to the

fictitious beams; the 1atera1 def1ections and the moments were

computed and are shown in Fig. 13 and 14. The increase in def1ection

is of sorne 21% at the top of the wall, whi1st a simi1ar reduction in

1inte1 beam moments is obtained.

The second prob1em was solved in {53}. It consists of coupled

shear wa11s, six storeys high, with unequa1 f100r height, as shown in

Fig. 17. Two idea1izations were used, one by means of 70 rectangu1ar

e1ements {Fig. 17a}, the other by means of an equivalent frame {Fig.

17b}. Shear deformations were neglected and the connections between

the beams and the wa11s were assumed to be rigid. The 1atera1 deflec­

tion and moments in the 1inte1 beams are p10tted in Fig. 18; good

correlation is achieved between both analyses. For the sake of compa­

rison the results of Girijaval1abhan {53} have a1so been plotted. This

idealization comprised not 1ess than 264 e1ements and 334 nodes; yet,

the deflections obtained are sma11er and so are the moments in the

lintel beams. This contradiction is explained in the next section;

it is due to the approximation made by representing the 1intel beam

as an assembly of eight finite elements on1y. From these two examples

it appears that the idea1ization of the wa11s by means of a relatively

small number of elements gives results which compare very well with

those obtained with other methods of analysis. Fig. 16 shows that a

more refined mesh would not improve the resu1ts by more tha~ 5% in the

typical example of Fig. 12.

The third problem consists of a single shear wall-frame system

idealized again by means of rectangular elements and beam elements, in

which case the thickness of all the elements situated in the second

and third bays was made equal to zero, and also by means of the

equivalent frame method (12). Some problems were encountered due

to the large difference in stiffness between the wall and the frame.

They were overcome by specifying double precision computations.

Shear deformations were neglected in the beams and columns. Full

fixity was assumed between the beams and the wall. Fig. 19 shows

the idealizations used, and Fig. 20 shows the deflected shapes of

the structure. Also of interest is the comparison of Table 8 between

the axial loads in the columns and shear wall obtained in both analyses.

3.5 Stress Concentrations at the Abutments of the Lintel Beams

In the previous section it has been shown that good results

of the deflected shapes, and of the moments, stresses and axial loads

can be obtained from the analysis of shear wall structures by means of

the proposed idealization. Due to the simple overall stress pattern

encountered in shear walls, simple elements in minimum number have

been used without any noticeable loss of accuracy. This, however,

excludes the stress concentrations existing at the abutment of lintel

beams, or near any irregularity in the geometry of the structure.

It is proposed that these may be best tackled by a separate

detailed study of the zone concerned. Such an analysis may be achieved

along the lines followed by Michael (56) by application of the classical

theories or by means of a finite element formulation. The following

example is meant to show the suitability of the procedure proposed here

for such an analysis. Consider the abutment of a half lintel beam in a

shear wall and a vertical load acting at the tip of the beam. This

assemb1y can be idea1ized in severa1 ways by means of finite e1ements

{Fig. 21}. The corresponding disp1acements in the x and y directions

and the stresses in the x direction are shown in Figs. 22 to 24. A1so

shown in Fig. 22 is the tip def1ection given by Michael {56}.

It may be seen that those idea1izations where a beam e1ement

has been used for the cantilever give the best resu1ts, as far as the

tip deflection is concerned. Idealization d used in {53} makes the

cantilever itse1f too stiff, thus exp1aining the resu1ts obtained

for the second examp1e of section 3.4, where both the overal1 1ateral

def1ection of the structure, and the moments in the 1inte1 beams were

too sma11. As far as the e1astic stresses in the wall are concerned

idea1izations a and c give very close resu1ts. A1together idea1ization

b provides a good picture of the stress concentration in the wall,

a1though better resu1ts cou1d still be achieved with a 1arger number

of e1ements.

Such an idealization is shown in Fig. 21e; it has been derived

from idealization b by rep1acing the four central rows of square e1ements

by six rows of rectangular e1ements, 0.667 ft high.

In this manner, the total 1ength of the fictitious beams is

equa1 to two thirds of the depth of the 1inte1 beam. The disp1acements

in the wall in the x and y directions have been superimposed in dotted

1ines in Figs. 22 and 23. The stresses in the x direction have been

added to the lower part of Fig. 24 on1y.

Very good agreement is obtained with the slope 6M/Eh2 and the

tip def1ection given by Michael {56}.

Chapter 4. The Analysis of Three-dimensional Structures

4.1 The Computer Program

4.1.1 Description of the Program

The computer work described in this chapter is a development

of· a finite element program for the analysis of plate structures and

cylindrical shells given in (43), in which six degrees of freedom are

considered at each node, and in which the system of equations is solved

in a tridiagonal manner. The matrices are inverted by Choleski's method

(59).

The same organization has been retained in the present work.

All the stiffness matrices and load vectors are thus also generated

partition by partition. A prime advantage of this scheme is that most

transfers of data between the in-core memory of the computer and the

storage devices may he performed very efficiently on large matrices.

The new program, whose general flow chart is given in Fig. 25,

consists of one major loop. For a structure containing n different

typical floors, this loop is executed n + l times. During the first

n times, the stiffness matrices and load vectors of the floors are

generated and condensed, in such a way that only those degrees of

freedom at the nodes common to the floors and the vertical system

of shear walls and columns are retained. The resulting matrices are

stored on disco During the (n + l)st execution, the vertical struc­

ture consisting of the separate shear walls and frames is treated.

Its stiffness matrix is generated, again partition by partition.

Each partition corresponds to a full horizontal II s1ice ll of the

building; when the IIslice ll corresponds to a floor level, the equi-

valent stiffness and load vectors obtained above are retrieved from

storage and added. The stiffness matrix and load vectors thus obtained

are those of the entire structure, after condensation of the floors.

It is imperative that the order in which the nodes are numbered in

the floors and the vertical system be consistent.

The solution of the system of equations then proceeds by

forward elimination and backward substitution, as indicated above.

However, Choleski's method has been modified along the lines suggested

by Melosh (60) in order to remove square rooting operations.

Thus, the stiffness matrix of each partition is inverted after

decomposition into

(27)

where,

[L] is a lower triangular matrix of unit diagonal terms

[0] is a diagonal matrix

[L]T is the transpose of [L]

After inversion of [K], the displacements and stresses in the

vertical system are computed. This information is sufficient to cal­

culate the stress resultants in the floor beams, due to the overall

displacements of the structure. The displacements, moments and shears

within the floor.slabs could also be computed without difficulty, at

a number of levels specified by the designer. However, the need of

such information seems questionable in view of its cost, since the

meshsize adopted for the finite element analysis will not necessarily

comprise those few locations which are critical for the design of

the floor slabs.

In substructure analysis, the equations are usually subdivided

according to

where,

[1<11

K1H KIB] . {bI} = {UI} KBS 68 UB (28)

KIl is the matrix of internal forces due to unit internal

displacements,

KBI is the matrix of boundary forces due to unit internal

displacements,

KBB is the matrix of boundary forces due to unit boundary

displacements,

UI includes all the loads applied at interior nodes,

UB includes the loads applied at the boundary nodes,

ôI is the internal displacement vector,

ôB is the boundary displacement vector.

* The computation of the condensed stiffness matrix [KBB ] and

load vector{uBl requires the inversion of [KIl] and the subsequent

multiplication [KBIJ . [KII-l] . [KIBJ. These matrix operations are

performed by decomposition following a method proposed by Rosen and

Rubinstein (61). Sorne of the calculations are outlined in the flow

chart, using the notations of equations 27, 28 and reference (61).

They are given in detail in section 4.1.4 below.

In Fig. 25, those parts of the program derived from (43) have

been indicated by a double plus sign (++). Modifications of these

parts are noted in section 4.1.4.

4.1.2 Capabi1ities of the Program

The computer program 1isted in Appendix 3 was coded in FORTRAN

IV language. It has been run at the McGil1 Computing Centre on an IBM

360/75 computer, with an available core memory of 400 kbytes.

For a structure containing n different typical floors, the program

is executed (n + 1) times. Hence, (n + 1) complete sets of data must be

supplied, of whom the n first belong to the typical floors and the (n + l)st

pertains to the vertical systems.

The number n is limited to 20 in the listing of Appendix 3.

For each of the separate data sets, the following may be spe-

cified: (single precision calculations)

maximum number of nodes 300

maximum number of elements 300

maximum number of boundary nodes per floor 16

maximum number of boundary nodes in the vertical systems 100

maximum number of loading conditions 4

maximum number of beam types 50

maximum number of element e1astic properties 10

maximum number of partitions 20

maximum number of nodes/partition 16

The partitions of the vertical system are taken as complete hori-

zontal Islices" through it. The maximum number of nodes/partition is

thus a1so the maximum number of nodes on the co1umns and shear wa11s that

may be considered in a structure.

Page 88: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGSdigitool.library.mcgill.ca/thesisfile70720.pdf · i . FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGS A Thesis by J.C. Mamet, M.Eng. Submitted to

- 72 -

This number is 16 for the above computer. Machines with in­

core memories of 800 kbytes or even 1000 kbytes are readi1y avai1ab1e.

For 800 kbytes, the maximum number of nodes/partition rises to 30.

It will be seen in section 4.1.4 that this number, which commands

the size of the most core-consuming matrices, is indeed the critica1

figure of the who1e program.

The number of partitions of the vertical system is proportiona1

to the number of storeys, but increasing this number does not increase

the core space required.

Boundary conditions for the vertical system may be specified at

each of the 100 nodes in terms of a110wed or restrained disp1acements,

or in termsof prescribed disp1acement components a10ng each of the six

degrees of freedom considered.

Such boundary nodes may be situated on the actua1 boundaries of

the structure or in its planes of symmetry.

App1ied 10ads may be specified at each of the 300 nodes of the

typica1 f100\~s and vertical system, in terms of their six usual compo­

nents, as shown in Fig. 1.

Vertical as we11 as horizontal loads or moments may thus be

considered, for up ta four loading cases.

For example: dead, live, wind loads or combinations thereof

as recommended by the codes of practice.

A large variety of structural configurations may be analysed

by the program, provided they may be inscribed in one or several adjacent

rectangular parallelepipeds.

For the f1oors: plain slabs; slabs supported by ribs and

beams; slabs with rectangu1ar drop panels and openings.

For the vertical system: single or coup1ed shear wa11s with

one or severa1 rows of openings; cores; three-dimensiona1 rigid frames

or trusses; diagonal braces, and the combinations thereof inc1uding

semi-rigid connections between wa11s and 1inte1 beams.

The configuration of the vertical system may vary from storey

to storey.

Co1umns and wal1s are norma11y considered to be fixed at the

base of the building, but pinned co1umns may be specified and the effect

of elastic foundations may be inc1uded by considering a fictitious base­

ment storey whose e1astic properties are equiva1ent to those of the actua1

foundation (14).

Orthotropic properties may be specified for a11 the plate e1ements.

Since six degrees of freedom are considered at each node, due account is

taken of torsiona1 effects, of the axial deformations of the co1umns and

wa11s, and of the warping rigidity and in-plane deformations of the f100r

slabs, which are neg1ected in most other works.

The ca1cu1ations are performed on the initial geometry of the . system, and hence the secondary overturning moments due to the axial

loads in the def1ected geometry are neg1ected (27).

Typica1 computing times, inc1uding compilation, are as fo11ows:

A structure is referred to a global right-handed set of rectan­

gu1ar cartesian axes Oxyr, such that the Oxz and the Oyl coordinate

planes are para1le1 to two of its vertical facades.

The coordinates of all the nodes must be given in that system,

however, the Z coordinate of the nodes located in the typical floors

needs not be specified.

The floors are partitioned so as to have a consecutive nodal

numbering system; only one partition line, which needs not be straight,

should pass through an element.

The boundary nodes of the typical floors are the points of

intersection between the floor slabs and the vertical system. No

boundary conditions are considered at these nodes. At any given

elevation, the number of nodes/partition in the vertical system must

be equal to the number of boundary nodes of the floor intersected,

and these nodes must be numbered in the same order.

The numbering of the nodes of an element in array NOD must be

sequential, as shawn in Fig, l, and m~st be such that the direction

1-2 corresponds to the positive direction of one of the global axes

Ox or Oy (Ox only for the typical floors).

When the nodes are numbered anti-clockwise, as seen from the

positive global axis perpendicular to the plane of the element, index

R is set equal to 1. In the clockwise direction, R is equal to o. Element properties are referred to a local right-handed set

of rectangular cartesian axes Ox'y'z', such that axis Ox' is along

the side 1-2 of the element and axis Oy' a10ng 1-4.

It may thus be seen that R defines the orientation of the

local set of axes with respect to the global axes.

The array BEAM(I,J), (J = 1,6), corresponds to the six beam

locations a to f connected with the element l, and shown in Fig. 9.

A non-zero index BEAM(I,J) = N indicates the presence of a beam of

type N at location J of element I(N ~EAM).

The properties of the beam are given in the local system of

coordinates attached to the element. lYB is the moment of inertia

for bending out of the plane of the element; IZB is the moment of

inertia for bending in that plane. HCB is positive when the z' coor­

dinate of the centroid of the beam is positive.

The boundary conditions are expressed by two arrays NB(I,J)

and BV(I,J), where (J = 1,6) corresponds respectiv~ly to the six

degrees of freedom u, v, w, ex' ey , eZ in the global axes. NB(I,J)

is equal to l when the displacement of node NF(I) is allowed alon~

the Jth degree of freedom and is equal to 0 if restrained. BV(I,J)

gives the magnitude of the prescribed displacements, if any, in the

case where NB(I,J) = 1.

The applied loads are specified by their six components.

It is imperative that the number of loading cases be the same for

all the typical floors and the vertical system, but the number of

points of application of the loads may vary from one typical floor

to another.

The output of the program consists of the following:

a) a print-out of all the input data;

b) the residuals of the solution of the tridiagonal system

of equations, defined as the difference between the applied

load and the product of the stiffness matrix by the dis-

placements;

c) the components of the displacements of all the nodes of

the vertical system with respect to the global axes.

This list is repeated for all loading cases;

d) for all the elements located in the vertical system:

one line comprising the number of element, and the plane

and bending stresses at its centroid. Then for each beam

supported by the element, one line comprising the type of

the beam, the number of the loading case, the axial load,

twisting moment, bendinq moments and shears.

Each individual line is repeated for all loading cases.

When the thickness of the element is zero, zeros are printed

for the stresses.

e) for all the elements located in the vertical system:

one line comprising the number of element, the number of

its nodes, the local coordinates of its centroid, the

cartesian and principal stresses at the centroid, computed

at the top face of the element; a second line comprising

the same information, the stresses being computed at the

bottom face. Each line is repeated for all loading cases.

f) an identical list giving the cartesian strains at the

centroids of all the elements of the vertical system,

for the top and bottom faces of the elements. Each line

is repeated for all loading cases. Zero strains are printed

for the elements of zero thickness.

The elements stresses and stra~ns are referred to the local

system of axes of the element.

The sign conventions of the beam actions are referred to local

axes attached to each beam and shown in Fig. 9.

A positive axial load means tension in the member.

A positive bending moment at either end means that the action

of the beam on the end node is in the positive direction of the local

beam axes.

The shears have the sign of the algebraic sum of the moments.

A positive twisting moment acts on the origin of the local

system of axes in the positive direction.

4.1.4 Particu1ar Aspects of the Program

4.1.4.1 The Combination of Bearn and Rectangu1ar Elements

An out1ine of the program has been given in section 4.1.1.

Details of the stage "form stiffness matrix and load vector of par­

tition" indicated in Fig. 25 are given in Fig. 26 where the emphasis

is laid on the particular combination of the beams and rectangular

elements. As the computation proceeds, element by element, the

strain and stresses matrices are formed for the rectangular element,

as well as its stiffness matrix. The stiffness matrices of all the

beams supported by the element are also generated and combined to

that of the element. When the thickness of the latter is zero, all

the calculations pertaining to it are skipped. Conversely, a plain

continuum is analysed by skipping all the calcu1ations related to the

beams. The test "sum of beam indices is zero" refers to the expression

6

1: BEAM( l ,J) j = l

in which BEAM(I,J) has been defined in section 4.1.3.

Although less convenient for automatic data generation, this

approach to the combination of beams and rectangular elements has two

major advantages. Firstly, by not considering the beams as separate

elements, the computational effort is reduced considerably. Secondly,

in the case of three-dimensional prismatic structures, the principal

planes of the beams are generally parallel and perpendicular to the

plane of the rectangular e1ement so that no additional definition of

their orientation is required.

The stiffness matrix of each partition is formed by assembling

those of the individual elements, after transformation from the local

to the global system of axes.

This transformation of coordinates is not performed for the

typical floors, however, since both systems are then superimposed.

These partition stiffness matrices are kept in core for use

in the substructure analysis, or for the tridiagonal solution of the

system of equations, in the case of the vertical system of the structure.

4.1.4.2 Substructure Analysis

The starting point for the floor substructure analysis is given

by equation 28 which is repeated here for convenience:

[KIl KSI

KIB] . {b 1 } ={UI} Kas a» V8

in which the stiffness matrix may be decomposed into the triple product

(61) :

[ KU Kra J_[ L 0 }[~ o }[LT RT

] (29) KSI KBS - R l K- 0 1

where:

[ L} is a lower triangular matrix of unit diagonal terms

[LT] is the transpose of L

[ Dl is a diagonal matrix

(1) is the unit matrix

From 29 , the following equations are derived:

[KIl] = [L][D]{LT] (30)

[KBI] :: [R}[D]{LT] (31)

Page 99: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGSdigitool.library.mcgill.ca/thesisfile70720.pdf · i . FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGS A Thesis by J.C. Mamet, M.Eng. Submitted to

- 83 -

l K8S] = [K-] + [R][O ] [RT] (32)

Equation 30 is a straight decomposition of KIl • Subst'j tuti ng 29

into 28 gives

[~ o J {6·} { ur *} K- · h; = us'" (33)

in which

{!i}=[~T ~T]. {!: } (34)

{~:} == [~ 0 l {~:'.} l

(35)

Equations 34 and 35 define a coordinate transformation between the

"starred" and '~nstarred" systems of axes. Hence, the second equation

of 33 ,

(36)

represents an independent relationship between the boundary forces and

displacements in the "starred" system.

From equations 34 and 35 :

f b;} = {ha} (37)

{ U I} = [ L J.{ U l ~ } (38)

{UB} =[R] {UI"}+{Ur.*} (39)

- 84 -

From which

(40)

ln addition, 33 gives

(41)

whereas {b I} may be obtained from 34 :

(42)

Equations 41 and 42 are on1y used if the interna1 disp1acements

are needed. The various stages of the program are as fo1lows:

a) re-organise the partition stiffness matrix into its

components [Kil], [KBI], [KBB] of equation 28;

b) decompose [Kil] according to 30. Since [Kil] is a

banded matrix, [L] is also banded; [D]and [OLT]= [O}[LT]

are obtained;

c) i nvert [ OLT] .

These three operations are performed partition by partition,

as shown on Fig. 25. Terms belonging to [KBB1 are kept in core in a

separate array; [KBI]which is sparse is stored on disc in compact

forme [Kil] is kept in core.

For a partition comprising N degrees of freedom, the maximum

storage space required is N x 2N. Such is also the space required to

store [Kil]. Adding up another N x N space for [KBB] gives a total

memory requi rement of N x 3N words for stage a) which i s performed

in subroutine SHUFFL.

- 85 -

Oue to the banded nature of [KIl] and CL], the core requirement

for stage b), performed in subroutine OLTMAT, is not increased.

An algorithm was developed in order to perform stage c) within

a core of N x 3N words. One direct access file is used for the storage

of [OLTJ-l which is a complete upper triangular matrix, and which is

therefore subdivided in NPART x (NPART + 1) records of N x N terms each, 2 where NPART is again the number of partitions in the floor.

d) From equations 31 and 36 , form

[ R ] = [K BI] . [DI..T1-t

{OIO} = [ ri] . {ur} (43)

(44)

These matrices are obtained in subroutine MULTPL in which

{KBI]is called from storage and then multiplied by the con­

secutive records of IOLT]-l . [UI*]T is obtained from

e) The product [R].[O].[RT] is performed in subroutine REFOST

and the condensed stiffness matrices [K*] and {UB*} are

obtained from equations 32 and 39.

These matrices are stored and will be combined to those

of the vertical system when the latter will be analysed.

4.1.4.3 Solution of the System of Equations of the Vertical System

This section refers to the box "solve system of equations,

print displacements and stresses" of Fig. 25.

This part of the work follows very closely the program given

in (43), but the following modifications are introduced:

a) in the programming of the tridiagonalization algorithm

(subroutine SOLVE), an improvement suggested by Khan led

to saving up to 25% of the core requirements;

b) Choleski's square root decomposition has been replaced by

the improved "LDLT .. scheme;

c) the STRESS subroutine for the calculation and printing

of the displacements, stresses and strains has been

simplified and algorithms for the calculation of the

moments, shears and axial loads in the beams have been

added (subroutine ACTION).

4.2 Examples of Three-dimensional Structures

4.2.1 Single Storey Structures

A number of three-dimensional structures have been analysed in

order to check the program described above and demonstrate its use, and

also to provide further tests for the element formulation of chapter 2.

Among them, simple table structures were considered first since they

constitute the basic ingredient of most multi-storey constructions.

Such a table consisting of a square slab, edge beams and corner

columns is shown in Fig. 27. It is subjected to two equal horizontal

loads of l lb each. Fig. 28 shows a comparison between the displacements

u, w and e at node 5 obtained with the element formulations QUARTREC x and NEW defined in section 2.3. Convergence curves are given for an

increasing number of elements per side of the slab. In addition, the

results obtained by substructure analysis are given for the element

NEW.

In this case, the idealization of the vertical system is reduced

to eight nodes numbered l to 8 and two vertical elements 1-2-6-5 and

3-4-8-7 of zero thickness, whose function is to define the corner

columns. The slab including the edge beams is idealized separately

as one typical floor, and its stiffness matrix is thus condensed so

as to contain only terms connecting the 24 corner nodes' degrees of

freedom, as explained is section 4.1. All calculations for this example

are performed in double precision.

Another table consisting of a plain slab and four columns has

been studied. It was analysed by Davies (62) and has the following

dimensions:

slab: 20 x 10 x l ft3

columns cross section: l x l ft 2

total height: 10 ft

E = 3 x 106 psi

v = 0.15

loading: 10,000 lbs acting downward at centre of slab

deadweight of slab (150 lbs/cu.ft.)

Fig. 29 shows the displacements ex and ey at one corner as well

as the vertical deflection w under the concentrated load. These values

are obtained again for increasing numbers of elements per side of the

figure. In particular, for 8 elements per side, the following corner

QUARTREC element; no substructure 0.26388 0.23006 0.93567

In this process, a stiffness matrix, 486 x 486 in size, was reduced

to a 24 x 24 one, and the relative error on the rotations was not more than

5 x 10-3•

In Fig. 29, the values for the corner rotations obtained by Davies

(62) have also been indicated. They are obtained by hand calculations,

by expressing the moment equilibrium at that point; the stiffness charac­

teristics of the slab resulted from a separate finite element study.

Davies gives these characteristics from an investigation using

49 nodes and triangular elements; significantly different values were

obta;ned for the same number of nodes by means of rectangular elements.

In the end, good agreement ;s obtained with the complete finite element

formulation.

4.2.2 Multistorey Structures

A seven storey model described in (18) and shown in Figs. 30

and 31 has been ;nvestigated. It consists of identical slabs made of

thin steel plate intersected by columns made of steel bars, tube and

strips and assembled by brazing.

Jaeger (18) has given an analytical solution by the continuum

approach and has compared it with experimental values of the displace­

ments obtained for two loading conditions (concentrated lateral load

at the top and at one intermediate floor) in each of the principal

planes of the structure.

A comparison is made here between the finite element solution

and experimental values obtained for the displacements under six loading

conditions:

- concentrated lateral load at the top and load equally

distributed between all storeys, acting in each of the

two principal planes;

- twisting moment acting at the top and twisting moment

distributed equally between all storeys.

The finite element idealization used for the vertical system i5

shown in Fig. 32. The idealizations of the typical floor, for bending

in the N-S and E-W directions are shown in Figs. 33 and 34. Only one

quarter of the structure has been idealized. All the columns are treated

as beam elements. In Fig. 33, a distinction is made between real and

fictitious boundary nodes. The latter are introduced for the sole

purpose of specifying the boundary conditions along the axes of symmetry.

Beams are also introduced in order to enforce boundary or compa­

tibility conditions. For instance, in the floor idealization of Fig. 33

(N-S loading), beams are introduced:

- between nodes 4 to 7, in order to ensure that their displace­

ments are compatible with those of a cross section of the

corner column;

- between nodes 1 and 29 in order to force w = 0 displacements

along that edge, and

between nodes 29 and 35 in order to force ex = 0 displace­

ments along that edge.

In Figs. 35 and 36, deflected profiles of the building are given

for its bending in the two principal planes. They are obtained:

a) experimentally;

b) by Jaegerls method (18) (for tip load only);

c) by finite elements using the actual dimensions of the steel

parts (thickness of floor slabs: 0.117 11, inertia of central

tube: 0.037 in4);

d) by finite elements using the nominal dimensions of the

steel parts (thickness of floor slabs: 0.125 11).

The last two cases are given in order to emphasize the importance

of the floor slab stiffness, expressed here in terms of its thickness, on

the overall behaviour of the structure;given the additional stiffness of

the experimental model due to the brazing beads, the agreement is found

to be very good. The effect of the in-plane floor deformation is negli­

gible for this structure whose length/width ratio is only 2.0:1.

In table 9, however, the distribution of the total shear between

the parallel resisting bents is given for the E-W and N-S loadings. Con­

trary to the assumption often made in simplified methods of analysis,

this distribution is not constant over the height of building.

In Fig. 37, the angle of twist is given for the torsional case

of loading.

Finally, a finite element analysis was made for a fifteen

storey perspex model described in (62). The structure is of the framed­

tube type; the idealization used for the typical floors is shown in

Fig. 38, along with the actual floor and column dimensions. The idea­

lization of the vertical system consists of 128 nodes and 90 elements

of zero thickness, as shown in Fig. 39. All the columns are treated

as beam elements.

In Fig. 40, deflected shapes of the building are shown. They

were obtained:

- experimentally by Coull and Subedi (66);

- by the present finite element analysis, using substructures;

- by Coull and Subedi's approximate method (66).

In this method, the total structure is replaced by an equivalent

plane assembly consisting of the rigid frames parallel to the plane of

bending and frames made of the leeward and windward beams and columns.

The latter are supposed to resist axial load only, and the connection

between the two components is by means of fictitious horizontal members

of large flexural rigidity that ensure the compatibility of vertical

displacements. The effective stiffness of the floor slab was determined

experimentally. That approximate method is expected to behave in a much

more flexible manner than the actual structure.

In the finite element model, shear deformations in the columns

were neglected. The element dimensions were also calculated between the

centre lines of the floors and colum~s. This representation of the struc­

ture is thus too rigid. The second cause is particularly important in

this case due to the sizeable thickness of the columns and floor slabs.

The fact that the f100r stiffness was overestimated is confirmed

by the increased vertical loads in the lateral frames obtained in Fig. 41.

In such an ana1ysis, the proper slab characteristics should have been

determined by a pre1iminary study of a typica1 column-s1ab connection

in which bath would have been idea1ized by para11elepipedic e1ements.

Chapter 5. The Importance of the In-plane Deformation of the Floor Slabs

5.1 Description of the Structures under Investigation

Fig. 42 shows the elevation, plan and cross section of a typical

eight storey building whose members were dimensioned for the following

loads:

1 ive load

snow load

wind load

50 psf

43 psf

14.5 psf, uniformly distributed over the height

of the building

The elastic modulus is 3000 ksi and Poisson's ratio is taken

to be 0.15.

The building consists of two plain end shear walls and seven

intermediate two bay frames of varying column sizes; its length/width

ratio is 4.8:1. The seven frames are located between eight identical

spans; this building will therefore be referred to as IIA8 11 . By removing

two, four or six intermediate spans, shortened structures may be derived,

that have length/width ratios of 3.6, 2.4 and 1.2:1, respectively. These

structures will be called IIA6 11 , "A4 11 and IIA2" with regard to their own

number of longitudinal spans.

Another group of structures may be derived from this series by

considering only the top halves 'of these buildings. These four storey

buildings are referred to as "B8, B6, B4 and B211, respectively. All

structures are assumed fixed at ground level and they have been analysed

under lateral wind load by means of the program described in chapter 4.

The aim of this work is to gather data on the influence of the

deformations of the floor slabs on the axial loads, moments and shears

in the columns. In particular, the horizontal forces Fij resisted by

each transverse frame i at all the floors j were determined.

For the sake of comparison, data were also obtained for the

same structures when the floors were assumed to be rigid in their own

planes. Since the program used does not accept relations between nodal

displacements as boundary conditions, an alternate scheme was adopted

by modifying the load distribution applied to the building.

Each vertical frame was thus subjected to horizontal loads

equal to -Fij' whereas the end shear walls received the differences n

!(WJo -oE FiJ·)' where WJo is the actual wind load resultant at level ,=1

j and n the number of frames.

The finite element idealization used for structures A6 and

B6 is shown in Fig. 43; Fig. 44 shows their floor idealization. For

structures containing 6 and 8 bays, only one quarter of the building

was idealized and the longitudinal axis of the floor slabs was consi­

dered as their neutral axis for bending around a vertical axis.

All the computations were performed in single precision.

The scheme for eliminating the bending in the plane of the

floors is only approximate since the new loading pattern induces a

different distribution of moments and shears in the frames. It will

be seen in the next section that this scheme was indeed effective

since the amplitudes of the lateral deflections of the floor slabs

due to bending in their own plane was brought within a fraction of

their actual values.

Results obtained with the modified load pattern will be

referred to as "A2R, A4R, ... , B2R, ... , B8R", where R stands for

"Rigid floors". Due to the residual bending mentioned above, it is

reasonable to postulate that the discrepancy between the "R" and

"noRu results may usually be interpreted as a lower bound of the

error made when assuming that the floors are rigide This statement

does not hold, however, if the structures display markedly different

types of behaviour. This point is particularly valid for the low

four storey structures of series 8, and will be discussed in the next

section.

A short summary of the notation used to denote the structures

under investigation is thus as follows: the notation consists of three

digits, of which:

- the first, an alphabetic character, refers to the number

of storeys (A for 8 storeys, B for 4 storeys);

- the second is the number of longitudinal spans (2, 4, 6

or 8 with corresponding lenqth/width ratios of 1.2, 2.4,

3.6 and 4.8:1);

- the third, the letter R, if any, indicates that the results

refer to the loading scheme meant to keep the floor slabs

as rigid as possible. Results corresponding to this scheme

will normally be plotted in dotted lines.

5.2 Results

larger towards the middle of the buildings than at the end shear

walls. At the first storey, the difference is of sorne 50% for pro­

totype A4 and of 100% for A6 and A8; it is reduced to less than 10% at

the fourth storey of A4, does not reduce below 10% for A6, nor below

20% for A8.

These observations confirm those of Majid and Croxton (27)

who noticed that the lower floors were the most affected by the in­

plane floor deformations. However this effect is already well marked

for a length/width ratio of the slabs of 2.4:1, as opposed to the ratio

of 3.2:1 mentioned in (27). It is neqligible for structures A2 and B2,

and therefore these wi 11 not be anal ysed under the If Rif l oad i ng scheme.

On Fig. 45, it may be seen that the deflection patterns indi­

cated by the If Rif curves are essentially similar to those obtained under

uniformly distributed loads; their spread is indeed much reduced. A

certain amount of back bending occurs in the top storeys of structures

A6R and A8R, but its amplitude is very small and creates only a very

limited increase of the bending moments. Tt serves as an indication,

however, that a second adjustment of the load for a further reduction

of the bending of the slabs would not necessarily produce the desired

effect.

On Fig. 46 the effect of the bending of the slabs in their own

plane is very much more pronounced. The larger amplitude of the floor

deflection is due to the smaller cross section of the vertical columns

and the smaller resistance they offer to the lateral loads.

In the "R" loading scheme, the deformed shapes of structures

R6R and R8R differ considerably from the curves of B6 and B8. This

Page 136: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGSdigitool.library.mcgill.ca/thesisfile70720.pdf · i . FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGS A Thesis by J.C. Mamet, M.Eng. Submitted to

- 119 -

difference is also pronounced in the figures showing the axial loads

and moments in the columns. Very clearly, the "R" loading scheme is

not applicable here, and no conclusions will be drawn from these curves

which are given for completeness only.

5.2.2 Axial Loads in the Columns

Figs. 47 and 48 show the magnitudes of the loads in the exterior

columns of the building. The load distribution along the length of the

structures is plotted for each floor and each prototype: A8-A8R, A6-A6R,

etc.

Fig. 47 shows the results for the 8 storey structures. The

graphs display a maximum value of the load for the frames situated at

24 1 0" from the shear walls, and another at mid-length, in the plane

of symmetry of the structures. The first peak is due to the transfer

of vertical load from the shear wall to the frame, the second one seems

due to the additional bending in the frames, due to the larger amplitude

of the deflections at the centre. This second peak disappears when the

floors remain more rigide

The discrepancy between the results under uniformly distributed

load and the "R" loading scheme is otherwise quite small, except for the

longest structure (A8-A8R) where it reaches 20% at the first and second

storeys.

Fig. 48 shows similar results for the 4 storey structures but

the discrepancies are much larger due to the differences in behaviour

observed above.

5.2.3 Bending Moments

Figs. 49 to 52 show the bending moments obtained in the outside

columns, above the floor slabs. For convenience, each drawing shows

the moments at a given distance from the end walls, for the various

prototypes.

On Figs. 49 to 51, the agreement between the moments in the

actual structures and those with rigid floors is quite good, from the

8th storey down to the 3rd. Below the 3rd floor, the moments increase

much faster for the actual structures, and the discrepancy with the

moments of the "R" schemes reaches sorne 25% at a distance of 24 and

48 ft from the shear wall, and up to 40% at 72 and 96 ft in the case

of the longer structures. This is slightly less than the value of

50% observed by Majid and Croxton, but their test structure consisted

of columns of constant cross section.

By superimposing the various graphs, one might observe that

the moments in the various frames of a single structure have comparable

magnitudes, at least from the 8th ta the 3rd floor.

On Fig. 52, similar results are given for the four storey

structures.

5.2.4 Shears

On table 10, a comparison is made between the percentages of

the total shear taken by each frame at each level, for the loading

cases considered. Again, it rrray be seen that these figures vary with

the height of the building, but that they do not vary appreciably from

one frame ta another.

As expected, the percentages of the shear resisted by the

frames are larger near the base of the structures for the actual load

than for the "R" loading scheme.

5.2.5 Conments

These computer results indicate that the usual assumption of

the floors behaving rigidly in their own planes (18,19,20,22,23,24)

is not accurate, and may lead to the bottom parts of structures being

seriously underdesigned.

In this study, very stiff end walls have been used. Such walls

would not be used for 4 or 8 storey buildings, but they \'/ould be conmonly

found in higher buildings for which these conclusions are expected to

hold.

If a structure were to consist of a central, rigid core and

weaker frames in both s!des, opposite conclusions might be anticipated,

the discrepancy between the axial loads, moments and shears becoming

greater near the extremities.

From the observations made in the previous sections, an appro­

ximate method of analysis might be envisaged as follows:

1. Assume that each floor takes a given percentage of the total

shear. This figure might be a constant, (5% for example) or

might vary linearly along the height of the building.

2. Determine the lateral deflection of the shear walls under

the remainder of the load.

3. From the beam theory, determine the lateral deflections of

the floor slabs in their own planes.

4. Combine the 1atera1 def1ections of the wa11s and slabs,

and get the def1ected shapes of the frames.

5. Compute the frames as separate units, for the values of

the sways obtained above. This may be performed by finite

e1ements as was do ne in section 2.3.4 or by means of an

equiva1ent plane frame system, using the values given by

Qadeer and Stafford Smith (63) for the appropriate stiffness

of the f100r slabs.

6. Compute the percentage of the total shear taken over by

each frame at a11 1eve1s, and check their average value

against the figure assumed in step 1. In case of discre­

pancy, repeat steps 1 to 6 with an adjusted percentage.

7. Knowing the vertical displacements of the frame joints,

and those of points situated in the end wa11s, a correction

for the axial load in the frame nearer to the wall may be

eva1uated.

A significant saving in the cost of computation is expected,

and sma11er computers may a1so come into use.

In Fig. 53, the def1ected shapes of a11 the f100r slabs of

prototype A6 are given, for uniformly distributed wind load. Chain

1ines indicate the corresponding profiles obtained by the method out­

lined above.

An average of 4% of the total shear has been assumed to be

carried by each frame. Clearly, the percentage used was dictated by

the results obtained above. More research ;s needed ;n th;s regard.

Chapter 6. Conclusions and Recommendations

6.1 Conclusions

In the present work, a new approach to the analysis of tall

building structures, making use of finite elements and a matrix

substructure analysis of the floor slabs, has been present~d.

The computer program, which is given in Appendix 3, has been

tested in the solution of several numerical problems and the results

compare very well with those of other investigations, whether experi­

mental or anlytical.

It may be used for a large variety of usual building configu­

rations comprising slabs, shear walls, columns, beams, diagonal braces,

etc. Openings in the walls and floors are taken into account, and so

are the effects of torsion, axial load and shear deformations.

The cost of computation is very moderate.

The only limitations are that the structure must conform to a

rectangular parallelepiped grid, however irregular it may be, and that

the size of the structure, in particular the number of nodes in the

vertical columns and the shear walls, is linked to the size of the

in-core memory of the computer used.

The input data for the program is easy to set up; the output

consists of the deflections of all the joints situated on the columns

and walls, of the axial loads, moments and shears in the columns and of

the stresses and strains in the shear walls.

In the course of this work, two original formulations were also

developed.

The first is a set of new disp1acement functions for the

bending of rectangu1ar e1ements, with the fo110wing advantages:

- simple disp1acement functions for both membrane action

and bending;

- six physica1 degrees of freedom that can be transformed

according to the vector 1aw of transformation, at each

node;

- no additiona1 nodes a10ng the sides of the e1ements;

- conformabi1ity between adjacent e1ements, and compatibi1ity

of disp1acements for orthogona11y situated e1ements;

~ shear deformations inc1uded.

The convergence characteristics compare very we11 with other e1ement

formulations. So far, on1y the stiffness matrix has been generated;

applications are thus 1imited, for the moment, to 1inear static prob1ems.

A1so, singu1arity may occur for very thin plates subjected to

large def1ections but such occurrences are not expected in building

structures. More work is required in this area.

The second original deve10pment is a new finite e1ement treatment

of the ana1ysis of plane shear wall structures and their combination to

plane frames.

Externa1 moments are transmitted in the plane of the elements

by means of fictitious beams having a large bending rigidity; semi-rigid

connections between beams and wa11s may be considered, and the effect of

local distortions at the abutment zones is inc1uded. This procedure com­

pares favourably with other avai1ab1e methods of shear wall ana1ysis.

A study of building structures consisting of end shear wa11s

and intermediate frames subjected to 1ateral wind loads was undertaken.

The number of these frames was varied, a10ng with the 1ength/width ratio

of the f100r slabs. This study has shown the necessity of taking the

bending of the floor slabs in their own plane into consideration.

A comparison with results obtained when keeping the floors rigid

has demonstrated that this often used assumption leads to a considerable

underdesign of the columns in the lower storeys of the structure. This

effect has been found sizeable for length/width ratios of only 2.4, but

affected on1y the first three storeys of the buildinysconcerned. Axial

loads, moments and shears were all increased by the deformation of the

floors.

The results have also emphasized the significant transfer of

vertical loads from the end walls to the columns of the adjacent frames.

6.2 Recommendations

Recommendations for future work include further refinements to

the computer program described herein, as well as the extension of its

use to research problems which are neither static nor linear.

First to be imp1emented shou1d be the introduction of subroutines

for the eva1uation of the stiffness matrices of triangular or quadri­

lateral elements, so that buildings of arbitrary plan may be considered:

curved, circular or triangular structures, etc.

Then, a close look at the representation of shear walls by means

of finite elements should be taken. The present representation implies

a fairly large number of elements and nodes, which could be reduced by

Page 154: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGSdigitool.library.mcgill.ca/thesisfile70720.pdf · i . FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TALL BUILDINGS A Thesis by J.C. Mamet, M.Eng. Submitted to

- 137 -

either of the following schemes:

a) by a substructure analysis of the portions of shear

walls comprised between consecutive storeys that would

eliminate all the intermediate nodes, or

b) by adopting the stiffness matrices derived by Heidebrecht

and Swift (64) for various shapes of walls, and which

connect actions and disp1acements at end nodes only.

A considerable saving in computer core requirement might ensue,

especially for structures with multiple walls.

Dynamic ana1ysis is likely to become a field of application of

the present work. Such studies are indeed hampered by the large size

of the matrices whose eigenvalues and eigenvectors must be found. The

present substructure analysis provides a considerable reduction of that

size, and is thus a step in the right direction.

The response of structures to earthquake motions consists mainly

of horizontal displacements. Further reduction in the size of the problem

might consist in e1iminating the other degrees of freedom at each node by

static condensation. The additional work to be performed in this line

wou1d comprise:

i) the determination of the consistent mass matrices of the

typical f1oors;

ii) their condensation along the lines described above;

iii) the computation of the consistent mass matrix of the column

and shear wall system, to which the equivalent masses of

the floors must be added.

In the field of materia1 non-1inearities, step by step

procedures might evo1ve from the present work; howe1er, the present

substructure ana1ysis is especia11y advantageous if severa1 identica1

f100r slabs may be found in the structure.

This situation might not subsist after non-1inear deformations

have ta ken place.
