Basic Truss Unit Stable Unstable CVEN 483 Structural Systems 25 Truss Types CVEN 483 Structural Systems 26 13
Truss Behavior Act as long, deep beams with cutout webs Resistance increases when upper and lower chords are spaced further apart. Bottom, corner elements are critical CVEN 483 Structural Systems 27 Truss Connections Modeled as pinned Gusset plates used to connect members at nodal points Riveted (past practice), high strength bolt, or welded connections CVEN 483 Structural Systems 28 14
Truss Advantages Optimum use of material properties (entire section acts in tension or compression) Optimal for high strength, lightweight materials, ie steel, aluminum, FRP Ideal for long spans, ie. roofs and bridges Constructability is efficient, ie. build on ground or in fab shop and lift into place CVEN 483 Structural Systems 29 Truss Disadvantages Requires significant total depth, which increases nonstructural cladding. With long spans, vibrations tend to be a problem in terms of both magnitude and frequency of vibration. CVEN 483 Structural Systems 30 15
Steel Bar Joists Steel bar joists can be economical in some buildings, ie. roofs and floors in any Walmart, sporting complex, or newer office buildings CVEN 483 Structural Systems 31 Frame Systems IBC 2000 Building Frame Complete space frame systems providing support for gravity loads and seismic resistance is provided by shear walls or braced frames Dual Frame Complete space frame systems providing support for gravity loads and seismic resistance is provided by the space frame and shear walls or braced frames Space Frame Members that are capable of supporting gravity loads and also provide resistance to seismic forces CVEN 483 Structural Systems 32 16
Moment Frame Systems IBC 2000 Ordinary (OMF) Members and joints are capable of resisting forces by flexure as well as along the member axis Intermediate (IMF) Members and joints are capable of resisting forces by flexure as well as along the member axis with some extra detailing requirements for ductility Special (SMF) Members and joints are capable of resisting forces by flexure as well as along the member axis with special detailing requirement for ductility CVEN 483 Structural Systems 33 Frame: Coplanar system of beam and column elements dominated by flexural deformation Planar (2D) Space (3D) CVEN 483 Structural Systems 34 17
Basic Behavior Gravity Load Lateral Loading CVEN 483 Structural Systems 35 2D vs. 3D Frames (Plan) Gravity Frame Lateral Frame Planar Space CVEN 483 Structural Systems 36 18
Frame Advantages Optimum use of floor space, ie. optimal for office bldgs, retail, parking structures where open space is required. Relatively simple and experienced construction process Generally economical for low-to mid-rise construction (less than about 20 stories) In Houston, most frames are made of reinforced concrete. CVEN 483 Structural Systems 37 Frame Disadvantages Generally, frames are flexible structures and lateral deflections generally control the design process for buildings with greater than about 4 stories. Note that concrete frame are about 8 times stiffer than steel frames of the same strength. Span lengths are limited with using normal reinforced concrete (generally less than about 40 ft, but up to about 50 ft). Span lengths can be increased by using prestressed concrete.

Frame Lateral Load Systems Flat plate-column frame: Effective slab width Plan Elevation CVEN 483 Structural Systems 39 Frame Lateral Load Systems Beam-column frame: Elevation CVEN 483 Structural Systems 40 20
Frame Lateral Load Systems Diaphragm (shear) element: Carries lateral loading to the lateral load resisting system Lateral load frame, typ. Plate element Deformed shape - Lateral load distributes to frames proportional to tributary area CVEN 483 Structural Systems 41 Frame Lateral Load Systems For relatively square plans, diaphragms are generally considered rigid Space frame with square plan Deformed shape has constant lateral displacement - No diaphragm flexibility, ie. lateral load distributes to frame proportional to frame stiffness CVEN 483 Structural Systems 42 21

Frame Lateral Load Systems Diaphragm (shear) element: Carries lateral loading to the lateral load resisting system Lateral load frame, typ. Plate element Deformed shape - Lateral load distributes to frames proportional to tributary area CVEN 483 Structural Systems 47 Braced Frame Advantages Much stiffer and stronger lateral load system when compared with frame systems Optimum use of floor space. Most braced frames are on the building perimeter or near elevator stairwell Generally economical for low-rise construction (less than about 5 stories) Eccentricity braced frames have superior seismic resistance due to very ductile link elements (fuses) CVEN 483 Structural Systems 48 24
Frame Disadvantages Architectural constraints. Sometimes braces must be hidden and other times can be visualized as part of the architectural scheme.
