5. SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF RC COLUMNS EMBEDDING STEEL PROFILES<br />

provided by linear analysis conducted in SAP2000 both for <strong>the</strong> x- <strong>and</strong> y-direction,<br />

giving T1,x = 0.302 sec <strong>and</strong> T1,y = 0.267 sec. The inertial effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>seismic</strong><br />

action are evaluated through <strong>the</strong> combination below:<br />

Being:<br />

ψE i = ϕ ⋅ ψ2 i<br />

with<br />

Thus:<br />

ϕ =<br />

Wk = Gk j + ψE I ⋅ Qk j ( 5.6 )<br />

1,0 for ro<strong>of</strong><br />

0,8 for o<strong>the</strong>r storeys with correlated occupancies<br />

ψ2 I = 0,3 for <strong>of</strong>fices <strong>and</strong> residential buildings<br />

I-V Storey ψE 1-5 = 0,24<br />

Ro<strong>of</strong> ψE Ro<strong>of</strong> = 0,3<br />

G1-5= 3561 KN Gro<strong>of</strong>= 2125 KN<br />

Q1-5= 1011 KN Qro<strong>of</strong>= 720 KN<br />

W1-5= 3804 KN Wro<strong>of</strong>= 2341 KN<br />

WTot = 5 ⋅ W1-5 + Wro<strong>of</strong> = 21361 KN is <strong>the</strong> total weight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> building<br />

M = 2177 tons is <strong>the</strong> total mass <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> building<br />

Hence, we can derive <strong>the</strong> total base shear force for each <strong>seismic</strong> design case <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> horizontal <strong>seismic</strong> forces acting at <strong>the</strong> different storey heights. The main results<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se calculations are reported in Table 5.2. Moreover, in order to cover<br />

uncertainties in <strong>the</strong> location <strong>of</strong> masses <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> spatial variation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>seismic</strong><br />

motion, <strong>the</strong> calculated centre <strong>of</strong> mass at each floor i will be displaced from its<br />

nominal location by an accidental eccentricity in each direction:<br />

e1i = ±0,05 ⋅ Li ( 5.7 )<br />

where e1i is <strong>the</strong> accidental eccentricity <strong>of</strong> storey mass i from its nominal location,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Li is <strong>the</strong> floor-dimension perpendicular to <strong>the</strong> direction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>seismic</strong> action.<br />

We obtain e1x equal to 1500 mm <strong>and</strong> e1y equal to 600 mm.<br />
