STUDY ON SHAPE INDEX OF THE SEISMIC SCREENING METHOD FOR EXISTING BUILDING HAVING LARGE OPEN SPACE

Abstract

In order to understand the behavior of existing building having large open space, a comparison between the non-rigid slab assumption analytical result and the rigid slab assumption analytical result of existing building having open space is presented. The analysis result illustrates an increase in shear force share at frame without large open space. Therefor, the static analysis result illustrates a smaller shape index (SD) of the seismic screening method for existing building having large open space.
