 |
|
I am designing two storey college building in zone 5. caculated Storey drift is 17 mm . and allowable is 0.004 * H as per code is 14 mm. All columns and beams I have designed as per requirements of code 1893,13920 and 456. Reinf. % dosnt exceed 2.6% in any column. Even beams are not so heavily reinforced. So, do I need to change sizes of members to control storey drift ( though it is not design requirement)? or Any other suggestion? I have considered rigid diaphram action bcs slab is rigid.
Regards Anand

Dear Anand,
You will need to increase the column sizes to cut down on the drift. Also ensure that there is no torsion irregularity. 你可能想要增加IY & IZ of beams to account for diaphragm action of slab. This will automatically reduce your drift somewhat.

Dear Anand,
Kindly inform which software you have used and how diaphragm action has been ensured while modelling. For which loadcase you got 17 mm drift?

I am confused.
I was taught that arbitrarily increasing out-of-plane stiffness of beams to account for diaphragm action results in large off-diagonal elements in the global stiffness matrix and the resulting system of equations can be ill-coditioned giving wrong results from an otherwise well behaved software.
But then this was thirty five years ago.
