Abstract
As a result of population density in Egypt emerged the importance of the use of tall buildings. Tall buildings increase the displacement of top floors due to lateral loads effect and increase the settlement due to vertical loads. A numerical analysis is carried out to analyse buildings with shear walls that have regular and staggered openings and resting on piles raft with different pile configurations under seismic action. The behaviour of soil-structure interaction, with weak soil profile, on superstructure of 20, 25, and 30 storeys and rested on a pile raft was investigated and was found to have a significant effect on the buildings. It was found that the openings in the shear walls have a significant effect on the values of the settlement. Also, the staggered openings are preferable more than the regular openings and the effect of pile length in clay soil is greater than the pile diameter.
期刊介绍:
The Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering (EJSE) is an international forum for the dissemination and discussion of leading edge research and practical applications in Structural Engineering. It comprises peer-reviewed technical papers, discussions and comments, and also news about conferences, workshops etc. in Structural Engineering. Original papers are invited from individuals involved in the field of structural engineering and construction. The areas of special interests include the following, but are not limited to: Analytical and design methods Bridges and High-rise Buildings Case studies and failure investigation Innovations in design and new technology New Construction Materials Performance of Structures Prefabrication Technology Repairs, Strengthening, and Maintenance Stability and Scaffolding Engineering Soil-structure interaction Standards and Codes of Practice Structural and solid mechanics Structural Safety and Reliability Testing Technologies Vibration, impact and structural dynamics Wind and earthquake engineering. EJSE is seeking original papers (research or state-of the art reviews) of the highest quality for consideration for publication. The papers will be published within 3 to 6 months. The papers are expected to make a significant contribution to the research and development activities of the academic and professional engineering community.
