Abstract:

Consideration of stone cladding in a multi storey building as resistance to lateral forces will significantly change the behavior of the structure especially under heavy dynamic forces. Current procedures and standards do not propose any method to include the stiffness and lateral load resisting properties in our design procedure. Only the additional load and moments generated due to the self-weight of the cladding is considered and added to the supporting structural member. In this study not only the stiffness but the lateral load resisting properties of the stone cladding have been considered for dynamic analysis of a seven and twenty one storey hotel structure for which various parameters like displacements and time period namely are compared with the results from conventional dynamic analysis. The outcomes of the analysis obtained from this paper will help to understand how the support conditions and different orientations affect the dynamic behavior of the structure. Also the effect of cladding on structural members i.e. column and beam and change in their bending behavior is studied. Along with the computational analysis manual calculations of the stone cladding systems and their components are compared with actual on site results.
