Frames and Diaphragms: Design and Detailing

  • Chapter
Seismic Design of RC Buildings

Abstract

Structural frames, which are commonly adopted as the principal lateral load-carrying system, are dealt with in this chapter. Important facets of planning, design and detailing of structural elements of a frame such as beams and columns and importantly the joints between them, from seismic considerations, are explained. Issues normally associated with tall buildings such as drift, shear lag and P-∆ effects are also addressed. Response equations developed in Chap. 3 are utilised to analyse frames with both the linear static and linear dynamic methods. Examples are used to describe the design of a typical beam–column joint as well as evaluation of P- effect. The different types of diaphragms are described, and it is detailed how flat slabs should be designed in a seismic environment. The role played by collectors and chords is covered. Then, through the solution of an example, it is shown how they are designed.
