2.1 The Assumption of Integrity To assume the building to behave as a whole -To determine its overall loads and resistance implications for structures To analyze the overall performance for structural behavior,strength,stability and efficiency
2.1 The Assumption of Integrity - To assume the building to behave as a whole -To determine its overall loads and resistance implications for structures - To analyze the overall performance for structural behavior, strength, stability and efficiency
Basic assumption of integrated analysis Building as a rigid body fixed to ground Have mass and supported by ground -Resist environmental forces (horizontal wind and earthquake loads,etc.) -The ground must be stable enough
