Abstract

Force flow and comfort are considered in high-rise buildings with a symmetric plan and different floor plans over the height. The stability walls are schematized to beams and the floors to springs, which couple the beams. The building is divided into a small number of super elements separated by nodes. For each super element a system of coupled differential equations is formulated. The FEM concept is applied to calculate in an analytical way the whole force distribution. At each change of floor plan a disturbance in the moment and shear force distribution occurs. By composing the spectral stiffness matrix the eigenmodes are determined.
