10、 years staggered truss steel framing has seen anationwide renaissance. The system, which was developedat MIT in the 1960s under the sponsorship of the U.S. SteelCorporation, has many advantages over conventional fram-ing, and when designed in combination with precast con-crete plank or similar floor

11、s, it results in a floor-to-floorheight approximately equal to flat plate construction. Between 1997 and 2000, the authors had the privilege todesign six separate staggered truss building projects. Whileresearching the topic, the authors realized that there was lit-tle or no written material availab

12、le on the subject. Simulta-neously, the AISC Task Force on Shallow Floor Systemsrecognized the benefits of staggered trusses over other sys-tems and generously sponsored the development of thisdesign guide. This design guide, thus, summarizes theresearch work and the practical experience gathered.Ge

13、nerally, in staggered-truss buildings, trusses are nor-mally one-story deep and located in the demising wallsbetween rooms, with a Vierendeel panel at the corridors.The trusses are prefabricated in the shop and then bolted inthe field to the columns. Spandrel girders are bolted to thecolumns and fie

14、ld welded to the concrete plank. The exte-rior walls are supported on the spandrel girders as in con-ventional framing.Staggered trusses provide excellent lateral bracing. Formid-rise buildings, there is little material increase in stag-gered trusses for resisting lateral loads because the trussesar

15、e very efficient as part of lateral load resisting systems.Thus, staggered trusses represent an exciting and new steelapplication for residential facilities.

There are interiorcolumns on conventionally framed bents.Moment frames are used along the long direction of thebuilding, while staggered trusses and moment frames areused in the short direction.Two different truss type

22、s are shown on the plan, namelytrusses T1 and T2. Fig. 1.5 shows truss T1B and Fig. 1.6shows truss T2C. Truss T1B is Truss Type 1 located on gridline B, and T2C is Truss Type 2 located on grid line C. Thetruss layout is always Truss Type 1 next to Type 2 to mini-mize the potential for staggered trus

23、s layout errors. Eachtruss is shown in elevation in order to identify member sizesand special conditions, such as Vierendeel panels. Any spe-cial forces or reactions can be shown on the elevationswhere they occur. The structural steel fabricator/detailer isprovided with an explicit drawing for piece

For this building, which is located in a low-seis-mic zone, wind loads on the wide direction are larger thanseismic forces, and seismic forces are larger in

25、 the narrowdirection. So that no special detailing for seismic forceswould be required, a seismic response modification factor Rof 3 was used in the seismic force calculations.

Manual calculatio

29、ns andmember sizing normally precede the final computer analy-sis and review. For manual calculations, gravity and lateralloads are needed and the member sizes are then obtainedthrough vertical tabulation.The design methodology presented in this design guide isintended to save time by solving a typi

30、cal truss only oncefor gravity loads and lateral loads, then using coefficients toobtain forces for all other trusses. The method of coeffi-cients is suitable for staggered trusses because of the repe-tition of the truss geometry and because of the “racking” orshearing behavior of trusses under late

31、ral loads. This is sim-ilar to normalizing the results to the “design truss”.Approximate analysis of structures is needed even intodays high-tech computer world. At least three significantreasons are noted for the need for preliminary analysis asfollowing:1. It provides the basis for selecting preli

32、minary membersizes, which are needed for final computer input andverification.2. It provides a first method for computing differentdesigns and selecting the preferred one.3. It provides an independent method for checking thereports from a computer output.Theoretically, staggered-truss frames are tre

33、ated as struc-turally determinate, pin-jointed frames. As such, it isassumed that no moment is transmitted between membersacross the joints. However, the chords of staggered trussesare continuous members that do transmit moment, andsome moment is always transmitted through the connec-tions of the we

34、b members.The typical staggered-truss geometry is that of a “Pratttruss” with diagonal members intentionally arranged to bein tension when gravity loads are applied. Other geometries,however, may be possible.1.6 Design PresentationThe structural drawings normally include floor framingplans, structur

35、al sections, and details. Also, structural notesand specifications are part of the contract documents. Floorplans include truss and column layout, stairs and elevators,dimensions, beams, girders and columns, floor openings,section and detail marks. A column schedule indicates col-umn loads, column s

36、izes, location of column splices, andsizes of column base plates.The diaphragm plan and its chord forces and shear con-nectors with the corresponding forces must be shown. It isalso important that the plan clearly indicate what items arethe responsibilities of the steel fabricator or the plank man-u

37、facturer. Coordination between the two contractors is crit-ical, particularly for such details as weld plate location overstiffeners, plank camber, plank bearing supports, and clear-ances for stud welding. Coordination meetings can be par-ticularly helpful at the shop drawing phase to properlylocate

38、 plank embedded items.In seismic areas, the drawings must also indicate theBuilding Category, Seismic Zone, Soil Seismic Factor,Importance Factor, required value of R, and Lateral LoadResisting System.Table 1.2 Wind and Seismic Forces (All Loads are Service Loads) WIND (ON WIDE DIRECTION) SEISMIC (B

42、h the design of the diaphragms. In a stag-gered-truss building, the diaphragms function significantlydifferent from diaphragms in other buildings because theyreceive the lateral loads from the staggered trusses andtransmit them from truss to truss. The design issues in ahollow-core diaphragm are sti

43、ffness, strength, and ductility,as well as the design of the connections required to unloadthe lateral forces from the diaphragm to the lateral-resistingelements. The PCI Manual for the Design of Hollow CoreSlabs (PCI, 1998) provides basic design criteria for plankfloors and diaphragms.Some elements

44、 of the diaphragm design may be dele-gated to the hollow core slab supplier. However, only theengineer of record is in the position to know all the param-eters involved in generating the lateral loads. If any designresponsibility is delegated to the plank supplier, the locationand magnitude of the l

45、ateral loads applied to the diaphragmand the location and magnitude of forces to be transmittedto lateral-resisting elements must be specified. An additional consideration in detailing diaphragms isthe need for structural integrity. ACI 318 Section 16.5 pro-vides the minimum requirements to satisfy

46、structuralintegrity. The fundamental requirement is to provide a com-plete load path from any point in a structure to the founda-tion. In staggered-truss buildings all the lateral loads aretransferred from truss to truss at each floor. The integrity ofeach floor diaphragm is therefore significant in

47、 the lateralload resistance of the staggered-truss building. 2.2 Distribution of Lateral ForcesThe distribution of lateral forces to the trusses is a struc-turally indeterminate problem, which means that deforma-tion compatibility must be considered. Concretediaphragms are generally considered to be

48、 rigid. Analysisof flexible diaphragms is more complex than that of rigiddiaphragms. However, for most common buildings subjectto wind forces and low-seismic risk areas, the assumption ofrigid diaphragms is reasonable. If flexible diaphragms areto be analyzed, the use of computer programs with plate

49、-element options is recommended.For the example shown in this design guide, a rigiddiaphragm is assumed for the purpose of hand calculationsand for simplicity. This assumption remains acceptable aslong as the diaphragm lateral deformations are appropri-ately limited. One way to ensure this is to limit thediaphragm aspect ratio and by detailing it such that itremains elastic under applied loads. From Smith and Coull(1991), the lateral loads are distributed by the diaphragm totrusses as follows:Vi= Vs+ VTORS(2-1)whereVi= truss shear due to lateral loadsVs=
