| Summary: | In recent years, the utilization of computer techniques in engineering application has become an irreversible trend. This
is achieved through using computer as the device for modeling, analysis, and design. The study mainly has focused on
the accuracy of the tributary area method for estimation load , as compared to finite element method by SAP2000,
considering the effect of building overall height (i.e. number of storey's) from 1 to 10 and column dimensions (i.e.
stiffness) from 20×20 cm to 70×70 cm. According to the analysis of the data obtained, we can see the error in the load
computed by the tributary area approximation becomes relatively larger as the number of storey's increases, especially
for the lateral load calculations, and the stiffness of the columns increases, the predictions using the tributary area
method improves for both axial and lateral forces in the columns. |
