Simplified Finite Element Modelling of Multi-storey Buildings: The Use of Equivalent Cubes

Finite element modelling is frequently used to overcome experimental limitations in predicting and analysing the performance of structures. However, constrained by software restrictions, 3-D analysis of high-rise buildings is still challenging and complex. This paper discusses how to substructure d...
