Features: This book addresses the common issues and concerns frequently encountered by users in the practical application of PKPM system's 2002 new code version multi-story and high-rise CAD software over more than a year. It is divided into 12 topics, focusing on explaining the relevant conditions required to comply with certain new code provisions, the reasonable values of various input parameters, the correct operational steps for running the software, the interpretation of calculation results, and software application precautions. The 12 topics covered in the book are:
- The reasonable assumptions of floor stiffness in building structural analysis
- The number of modes for structural calculation
- The concept and control of structural weak stories
- The analysis and design of the interaction between the superstructure and the basement
- The design of shear walls and their edge components
- The design of short-story shear wall structures
- The analysis of high-rise structures with transfer stories
- The analysis of multi-tower, staggered, and jointed structures
- The elastoplastic analysis of multi-high-rise structures
- Non-load effects
- The design of structures under crane load
- The analysis of multi-story and high-rise steel structures
This book is suitable for PKPM users, as well as professionals in structural design, research, and drawing review, for reference. It can also serve as a reference book for faculty and students of civil engineering programs in higher education institutions.
