The detailed syllabus for Tall Buildings M.Tech 2017-2018 (R17) first year first sem is as follows.
M.Tech. I Year I Sem.
Course Objective: To impart knowledge on analysis of tall buildings.
Course Outcomes : The learner will be able to analyse and chose a appropriate systems for tall buildings.
Unit-I : Introduction : Evolution of tall buildings – Classification of Buildings – Low-rise, medium-rise, highrise – Ordinary framed buildings & Shear-wall buildings –Behaviour of buildings under lateral loads like Wind loads, Earthquake loads & Blast loads – Basic structural & functional design requirements – Strength, Stiffness & Stability.
Unit-II : Lateral load resisting elements : Frames, Shear walls & Tubes – Shear, Bending & combine modes of deformation – Structural behavior of Rigid frames – Simplified methods of analysis – Substitute frame method, Portal method, Cantilever method, Equivalent frame method –Structural behaviour of Shear walls – Approaches of analysis – Elastic continuum approach & Discrete approach — Structural behavior of Tubes –Actions.
Unit-III : Choice of System for a Building: Frame building, Shear wall building, Shear walls acting with frames, Single framed tubes – Other structural forms – Staggered Wall-beam system, Tube-in-tub system, Base isolation technique for earthquake resistance. Load distribution in a tall building – Load resisted by different shear walls & frames – Determinate & Indeterminate problems – Equivalent Stiffness method.
Unit-IV : Methods of Analysis: Shear walls without Openings – Estimation of Stiffness by simple Cantilever theory & Deep beam theory – Shear walls with Openings – Equivalent frame for large openings – Muto’s method for small openings –Elastic Continuum approach – Coull & Chowdhry’s method – Design Charts – Limitations of Continuum approach. Shear wall- Frame Interaction: Sharing of loads between wall & frame – Different methods – comparison — Khan & Sbrounis’ method – Design charts – – Mac Leod’s method – Advantages & limitations — Cooperation of Floor slabs – Equivalent width.
Unit-V : Modern Methods: Analysis of Tall buildings by Stiffness method – Available Softwares for analysis of tall buildings.
