Abstract

Tall Buildings are affected by lateral loads from seismic & wind loads . the staggered vierendeel frame can sustain Lateral loads efficiently through the action of the entire frame. This system transfers lateral loads to columns as shear and transfer lateral load to foundation through bending. The over turning moment that affect the whole structure is resisted by the tension and compression couple between the columns. This paper presents the study of 54 types of reinforced concrete staggered Vierendeel frame using UBC 97 [6] to analyze the prototype staggered Vierendeel frame. Then, The analysis results used to compare the economy of the prototypes with each other, and study effect of seismic comparing with wind loads . ETABS nonlinear V 9.7 used to analyze each prototype. Then this paper presents the results of analysis that used to assess straining actions of structures.
