ABSTRACT

Notes: (a) The deformation of the columns is mainly moment dependent (Figure 4.5); consequently their lateral rigidity may be defined as a function of their moments of

We assume that the centre of mass CM coincides with the centre of gravity of the slab's area:

XM = 18·75m; YM = 8·70m

We shall determine the torsional forces in the vertical elements of the ground floor according to Lin's theory, by assuming non-deformable soil (fixed ends).
