3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the formula for calculating the Storey Drift Limit?
Think about what h represents in a building.
Why is it important to limit storey drift?
Consider what could happen if buildings sway too much.
What is the maximum allowable drift for a building with a storey height of 5 meters?
Use the formula we discussed.
True or False: The Storey Drift Limit is only relevant for buildings over 10 stories tall.
Consider whether small buildings also experience lateral forces.
You are designing a 25-meter tall building with a permissible drift limit. Calculate the maximum drift and discuss the implications of this limit on structural design.
Make sure to apply the formula correctly and consider what it means for construction.
How would P-Delta effects alter your design calculations for a building reaching its drift limit during an earthquake?
Think about how forces change when lateral movement occurs.
