| Summary: | This paper primarily aims to introduce different stiffness ratio requirements for hospital buildings
of various structural styles, to achieve a new standard. The requirements of each stiffness ratio are analyzed,
according to the specification formulas and illustrations. And whether the structural deformation situation
complies with the code requirement or dissatisfies the specification requests can be intuitively reflected through
the application of the chart form, respectively. The corresponding measures complying with the code
requirement and the matters needing attention in the schematic design phase are proposed. The comparison
analysis for the lateral rigidity and lateral stiffness ratios is performed by applying different methods for the
project cases of shear wall, frame tube and partial frame shear wall structures. The proposed computing method
may better reflect the stiffness characteristics of the component’s cross-section, with regard to vertical layer,
storey height and materials, as well as the actual situation of the turning constraint on both ends. The result thus
determined can better reflect the real lateral rigidity of the construction, which is available as a benchmark for
engineers designing hospital building structures. |
