Influence of extreme height to building frame

In addition to usual checks:

1. Dynamic effects of wind.2. P - Δ effect (2nd order effect).3. Influence of member shortening.4. Static and dynamic rigidity:

δmax ≤ H/500acceleration a ≤ amax ≈ 0,015 g

5. Interaction with ground (especially if H/B > 5).

Dynamic effects of wind

Generally:• analysis including vibration: - longitudinal (in the wind direction)

- lateral (in transversal direction):circular, elliptic shapes: "vortex shedding"rectangular shapes: "galloping" (occurs rarely)

Vortex shedding, vortex separation(called also Karman periodic set of whirlwinds)results on condition that:

Wind loading for area Aref according to EN 1993-1-4:

- if h ≤ 100 m and b > 30 m, coefficient of the structure cscd = 1;- otherwise use „detailed method" (depends on natural frequency n ,

parameters of wind and structure ...)- Eurocode enables to determine even deflection and vibration acceleration.

P - Δ effect (2nd order effect)

Represents effect of horizontal shift on internal forces. Solution:- 2nd order theory (or geometrically nonlinear analysis GNA),- or approximately (see also determination of αcr in global analysis):

If SLS is fulfilled, the approximate guess of V, H (for all building or floor)gives coefficient of 2nd order m. The horizontal loading then multiply with m:

Scales:- magnitude scales (number expressing relative size of an earthquake):

Richter scale, moment magnitude scale (Mw), also other like Ms, Mb etc.

Waves:P - primary (direct, fast, push-pull);S - secondary (transversal, shear, slower);Q - Love waves (no vertical movement);R - Rayleigh waves (surface waves, with

Yielding brace system (YBS), „Scorpion“, Toronto, 2011(www.castconnex.com)

The diagonal brace member is equipped with two cast connectors. Each connector resemblesa claw, with a heavy „elastic arm“ welded to the diagonal end and protruding triangular shaped„yielding fingers“ that are bolted to a splice plate connection at the beam-column joint. When under an earthquake, the fingers plastically deform and their curvature results in a tensile force in each finger that increase the strength and stiffness of the brace (unwanted „soft storey“ isavoided).
