Q1 Side elevation of an unbraced frame system for reinforced concrete building exposed to
open terrain at Bukit Tinggi area with few or no obstructions is shown in Figure Q1(a).
The wind load is non-linear, windward wall permeable and varies at different height, in which
fully depending on the value of ρ = 0.613(Vs)2 (Mz,cat)2 (Cp,e-Cp,i) kN/m. According to MS
1553:2002, if the wind load is imposed at the right of reinforced concrete building,
(a) Calculate the possible Vs, Mz,cat, Cp,e and Cp,i for this frame system.
(8 marks)
(b) Determine and draw the distribution of wind load on each level of the frame
consisting Beam C/1-4 (top elevation) as shown in Figure Q1(b).
(10 marks)
(c) Analyse the axial and shear forces of the frame from Level E to F.
(24 marks)
(d) Draw the shear forces and bending moments of the frame with the values
obtained.
