Calculation Results Analysis
1. Horizontal side shift
It is an important indicator to judge whether the stiffness
is sufficient, whether the plane is regular, and whether
the mass stiffness distribution is uniform.
For high-rise buildings with a height of not more than
150m, the ratio of the maximum elastic displacement between
floors to the storey height (that is, the maximum inter-
story displacement angle) Δu/h should meet the following
requirements (national standard):

The framework of "Guangdong Provincial High

Regulations" is relaxed to 1/500.
Article 3.4.5 of the "High Regulations" stipulates that
the maximum horizontal displacement and inter-story
displacement angle of the vertical members of the floor, A
and B high-rise buildings should not be greater than 1.2
times the average value of the floor; and A-level high-rise
buildings should not be It is greater than 1.5 times the
average value of the floor, and the B-level high-rise
buildings, mixed-structure high-rise buildings and complex
high-rise buildings should not be greater than 1.4 times
the average value of the floor.

Ave-(X), Ave-(Y)----X, Y average displacement. (mm)
Max-Dx , Max-Dy : Maximum interlayer displacement in X, Y direction
Ave-Dx , Ave-Dy : Average interlayer displacement in X, Y direction
Ratio-(X), Ratio-(Y)---- The ratio of the maximum displacement to the average
displacement in X and Y directions.
Ratio-Dx,Ratio-Dy : the ratio of the maximum interstory displacement to the
average interstory displacement

i.e. requiring:
Ratio-(X)= Max-(X)/ Ave-(X) preferably <1.2 and cannot exceed 1.5
Ratio-Dx= Max-Dx/ Ave-Dx preferably <1.2 can not exceed 1.5
Y direction and so on
1. If the displacement ratio (interlayer displacement
ratio) exceeds 1.2, the bidirectional seismic action needs
to be considered in the total information parameter
setting;
2. The maximum interlayer displacement and displacement
ratio are inrigid floorControl parameter under Assumption
(Force rigid floor assumption should be selected).Component
design and displacement information are not the result of
the same conditions(That is, the component design can be
calculated using the elastic floor, and the displacement
calculation must be obtained under the assumption of a
rigid floor), so the rigid floor can be used to calculate
the displacement first, and then the elastic floor can be
used for component analysis.

3. Connect the displacement of each layer into a

displacement curve, which should have the following
characteristics:
The frame structure has the characteristics of a shear
beam, and the higher the upward, the slower it grows,
forming an inward curve; the displacement curve of the
shear wall structure has the characteristics of a
cantilever bending beam, and the displacement increases
faster and becomes an outward curve. The frame-shear wall
and the frame-tube structure are in between, which is an
inverse S-shaped curve, close to a straight line; in the
case of relatively uniform stiffness, the displacement
curve should be round and smooth, without sudden Bump
variation and vertices.

Second, the period ratio (controls the structural torsion

effect,Provincial standard has been cancelled)
Article 4.3.5 of the "High Regulations" stipulates that
the ratio of the first period Tt dominated by structural
torsion to the first period T1 dominated by translation
should not be greater than 0.9 for Class A high-rise
buildings; Structural high-rise buildings and complex high-
rise buildings should not be greater than 0.85.
1)According to whether the translational coefficient of
each mode is greater than 0.5 or the torsional coefficient
is greater than 0.5, distinguish whether each mode is a
torsional mode or a translational mode.
2)Usually the torsional mode with the longest period
corresponds to the first torsional period Tt, and the
translational mode with the longest period corresponds to
the first translation period T1
3)In contrast to the "Structure Overall Spatial Vibration
Diagram", check whether the first torsional/translational
period causes the overall vibration. If it is only a local
vibration, it is not the first torsional/translational
period. Then look at the next sub-long cycle.
4)Check whether the base shear ratio of the first
translation period is the maximum
5)Calculate Tt/T1 to see if it exceeds 0.9 (0.85)

6 0.1355 5.03 0.05 (0.05+0.00 ) 0.95
Effective mass factor in X direction: 97.72%
Effective mass factor in Y direction: 96.71%
i.e. requiring:
0.4248/0.6306=0.67 <0.9
Mass participation coefficients (97.72%, 96.71%) >90%
indicate that there is no need to increase the mode shape
calculation.
The period ratio does not meet the requirements,
indicating that the torsional stiffness of the structure is
smaller than the lateral stiffness. The general adjustment
principle is to strengthen the structural stiffness of the
outer ring, increase the seismic wall, increase the height
of the peripheral coupling beam, and weaken the stiffness
of the inner cylinder.

For a relatively normal engineering design, the calculated

natural vibration period without considering the reduction

is probably in the following range middle.

Framework: T1=(0.12.--0.15)n
Frame--Shear Wall and Frame--Cylinder Structure: T1=(0.06--
0.12)n
Shear wall structure and tube structure: T1=(0.04--0.06)n
 where n is the number of building floors.
The second and third periods are approximately:
T2=(1/3--1/5)T1
T3=(1/5--1/7)T1
Under normal calculation, the mode shape curve should be
a relatively continuous and smooth curve for a relatively
uniform structure.
The first mode has no zero point; the second mode is at
(0.7-0.8)H; the third mode is at (0.4-0.5) and (0.8-0.9)H,
respectively.

It is worth noting that the 2013 provincial standard no

longer mentions the concept of period ratio, mainly to
limit the torsional displacement ratio of the structure
under the action of accidental eccentric earthquakes not to
be too large, so that the torsional stiffness of the
structure can be controlled not to be too small.
3. Floor lateral stiffness ratio (control vertical
regularity)
1. Article 3.5.2 of the high-level regulations stipulates
that the seismically designed high-rise frame structure,
the lateral stiffness of the floor should not be less than
70% of the lateral stiffness of the adjacent upper floors
or 80% of the average lateral stiffness of the three
adjacent floors above;
2. Article 5.3.7 of the high-level regulations stipulates
that in the calculation of high-rise building structures,
when the roof of the basement is used as the embedded end
of the superstructure, the lateral stiffness of the
basement structure shall not be less than 2 times the
lateral stiffness of the adjacent superstructure floors;

=====================================================
=============
Calculation information such as rigid center, eccentricity,
and lateral stiffness ratio of adjacent layers of each
layer
Ratx1, Raty1 : The ratio of the lateral stiffness of the
tower in the X and Y directions to 70% of the lateral
stiffness of the corresponding tower on the upper floor or
the ratio of the average lateral stiffness of the upper
three floors to 80%, whichever is smaller
...
i.e. requiring:
Ratx1, Raty1 >1
The code controls the stiffness ratio and displacement
ratio of the structural layer, and also requires the
calculation under the assumption of rigid floor. For
projects with elastic slabs or zero slab thickness, it
should be calculated twice, the layer stiffness ratio
should be calculated under the assumption of rigid floor
slabs and the weak layers should be found, and then other
structural calculations should be completed under real
conditions.
Fourth, the ratio of shear bearing capacity between layers
(generally can be satisfied)
Article 3.5.3 of the "High Regulations" stipulates that the
shear bearing capacity of the inter-story lateral force
resistance structure of the A-level high-rise buildings
should not be less than 80% of the shear bearing capacity
of the upper floor, and the B-level height should not be
less than 75%. %.

****************************************************
************ Floor shear bearing capacity and bearing
capacity ratio
****************************************************
********Ratio_Bu: Indicates the ratio of the bearing
capacity of this layer to the previous layer
i.e. requiring:
Ratio_Bu >0.8(0.75)
If it does not match, it means that this layer is a weak
layer and should be strengthened.
The calculation of interlayer shear bearing capacity is
related to factors such as the strength of concrete and the
area of actual reinforcement. The area of actual
reinforcement is not known before using SATWE software to
connect the PK to the construction drawing. Therefore, the
SATWE program uses the calculated reinforcement area
instead of the actual reinforcement area. Rebar area.

5. Control of stiffness-to-weight ratio (the ratio of

lateral stiffness to the design value of gravity load,
which affects the second-order effect of gravity)
For shear-type frame structures, when the rigidity-to-
weight ratio is greater than 10, the second-order gravity
effect of the structure can be controlled within 20%, and
the stability of the structure has a certain safety
reserve; when the rigidity-to-weight ratio is greater than
20, the second-order gravity effect The effect of the
effect on the structure is already very small, so the
specification stipulates that the second-order effect of
gravity can be ignored at this time. That is, the stability
of the frame structure must meet the following
requirements: Di*Hi/Gi>=10
For bending-shear type shear wall structures, frame-
shear structures, and cylindrical structures, when the
rigidity-to-weight ratio is greater than 1.4, the structure
can maintain overall stability; when the rigidity-to-weight
ratio is greater than 2.7, the internal force and
displacement caused by the second-order gravity effect
increase. The amount is only about 5%, so the specification
stipulates that the second-order effect of gravity can be
ignored at this time.

General information on building structures (WMASS.OUT)

=====================================================
===========
The result of the overall stability check of the structure
=====================================================
===========
X-direction rigid-weight ratio EJd/GH**2= 47.79
Y-direction rigid-weight ratio EJd/GH**2= 41.49
The rigid-to-weight ratio EJd/GH**2 of the structure is
greater than 1.4, which can pass the overall stability
check of the high gauge (5.4.4).
The rigid-to-weight ratio EJd/GH**2 of the structure is
greater than 2.7, so the second-order effect of gravity can
be ignored.
When the height-width ratio of high-rise buildings meets
the limit, the stability check calculation may not be
carried out, otherwise, it should be carried out.
When the stability of high-rise buildings does not meet the
above requirements, the lateral stiffness of the structure
should be adjusted and increased.
Six, shear weight ratio control(Strong bar, very important)
Article 5.2.5 of "Anti-Rules", in the seismic check
calculation, the horizontal seismic shear force of any
floor of the structure should not be less than the product
of the minimum seismic shear force coefficient λ given in
the table below and the sum of the representative values of
the gravity load of each floor above this floor .

The seismic influence coefficient decreases rapidly in the

long period period, and the calculated structural effect
under the earthquake action may be too small, so the
minimum seismic shear force coefficient is specified.
Period, seismic force and mode shape output file (WZQ.OUT)
The minimum shear weight ratio of the X-direction floors
required by the seismic code (5.2.5) = 1.60%
1. The horizontal seismic shear force of the weak story
with vertical irregular structure should be increased by
1.15 times, that is, the minimum shear force coefficient λ
of the floor in the above table should be multiplied by
1.15 times.
2. For general high-rise buildings, the structural shear
weight ratio is the smallest for the bottom layer and the
largest for the top layer. Therefore, in actual
engineering, the structural shear weight ratio is
controlled by the bottom layer. From bottom to top, if the
seismic shear force of which layer is not enough, the
design of which layer is enlarged. earthquake force.
3. Whether or not to automatically magnify the seismic
internal force of each layer is set in the adjustment
information column; if the user considers automatic
magnification, SATWE will output the magnification factor
used in the program in WZQ.OUT.
4. The shear weight ratio of the sixth degree area can
be taken at 0.7% to 1%. If the shear weight ratio is too
small, it is all structural reinforcement, indicating that
the bottom shear force is too small, and the section size
and period reduction of the components should be checked;
if the shear weight ratio is too large, it indicates that
the bottom shear force is too large, and should also be
checked Structural model, whether the parameter settings
are correct or whether the structural arrangement is too
rigid.
7. Axial pressure ratio check
The purpose of controlling the axial compression ratio
is to ensure the ductility of the column, and the axial
compression ratio of the column should not exceed the limit
in the following table:
Concrete member reinforcement, steel member check
calculation output file (WPJ*.OUT)
Uc --- Axial pressure ratio (N/Ac/fc)
1. The higher the seismic rating of the building
structure, the higher the ductility requirements, and
therefore the stricter the limit on the axial compression
ratio. For frame pillars, in-line shear walls, etc., the
requirements are more stringent. When the seismic level is
low or non-seismic, it can be appropriately relaxed, but in
any case it shall not be less than 1.05.
2. To limit the axial compression ratio of the wall
column, the bottom section (where the maximum axial force
is located) is usually checked for calculation. If the
section size or concrete strength grade changes, the axial
compression ratio of the transformed floor should also be
checked. SATWE check calculation result, when the
calculation result does not conform to the specification,
the axial pressure ratio value will be automatically
displayed in red characters.
