Multistorey Frames (a) Without Torsion All frames must follow through the same displacements at each level. F 4 F 3 F 2 (CS) i (CS) i (b) With Torsion All frame displacements at each level must be compatible with level translational and torsional displacements. F 1 (CS) i None of the floors undergo any rotation as forces pass through the CS (i.e. CS = CM)
Important: Multistorey Frames First calculate lateral load at different floors for the entire building Then distribute to different frames/walls as per floor diaphragm behavior Do Not Calculate seismic design force directly for individual frames of the building 24
Multistorey Frames A B C D 1 y x Plan 2 3 Plan of a building with space frame: this may be thought of as four 2-bay frames in the y-direction, and three 3-bay frames in the x-direction 25

(b) Displacement in frames 1, 2 & 3 are equal at floor 2. (c) Displacement in frames 1, 2 & 3 are equal at floor 3. 26

Approximate Lateral Load Distribution Exact distribution requires computer analysis How do we carry out approximate hand calculations for buildings up to 4 stories without torsion? Assume that all 2-D frames have same displacement profile (shape only) for lateral loads Now match roof displacement only If assumption is exactly valid, analysis will still be exact 30
