Load calculation:

Dead load and live load are calculated separately;

Stairwell load: dead load 8 kN/m2; 2.5-3.5 live load

The dead load of the sinking cushion in the toilet is calculated

according to the backfill material and depth: 6~8 kN/m2

For civil high-rise buildings, the influence of live load is about

15%, so the unfavorable arrangement of live load is generally

not considered.

1. SATWE preprocessing - connect PMCAD to

generate SATWE data
　 　 The angle between the horizontal force and the
overall coordinate (degrees): the initial value is 0, and
satwe can automatically calculate the most
unfavorable direction angle and output it in wzq.out.
The calculation can be recalculated by taking this
angle as the direction angle of the seismic action to
reflect the influence of the most unfavorable seismic
action.
　　The basement generally interacts with the upper
part;
　 When the basement and the upper part are jointly
analyzed, the relative stiffness in the program is
generally 3 to simulate the restraint effect. When the
relative stiffness is 0, the horizontal seismic action is
considered in the basement, and the wind action is not
considered. When the relative stiffness is negative, the
basement is fully embedded
　 　 According to the explanation of programming
experts, fill in 3 is about 70%~80% of the embedded
solid, fill in 5 is completely embedded, fill in the
number of floors before adding "-", indicating that
the filled floor is completely embedded. How to fill 3
or 5 depends entirely on the experience of the
engineer.
　 　 Constant live load calculation information:
generally select "simulated construction method 3".
When calculating the foundation of a mixed column-
wall structure such as a frame-shear wall, select
"Simulated Construction Method 2". If there are
vertical hanging members (such as davits), you must
select "One-time loading.
　 　 Basic period of the structure: During the initial
calculation, the program should calculate it according
to the approximate method. It is recommended to
calculate the basic period of the structure before
substituting it for recalculation. Special attention
should be paid to the structure that controls the wind
load.
　
Consider accidental eccentricity, consider
bidirectional earthquakes:
If the earthquake left-right effect considering
torsional influence is smaller than that caused by
accidental eccentricity, the latter should be taken for
safety, but the two are not superimposed for
calculation.
　 　 When the mass and stiffness distribution is
regular, select the "Consider accidental eccentricity"
option; when the mass and stiffness distribution is
irregular, select the "Consider bidirectional
earthquake" option.
Calculate the number of mode shapes:
The number of mode shapes is preferably a
multiple of 3. Generally, the number of calculated
formations should be greater than 9, and it is
generally required that "the effective mass number is
greater than 90%, which proves that the number of
formations we have taken is much more than enough.
"Anti-Regulation" 5.2.3, ... the first 9-15 mode
shapes are desirable ...
　　　Live load mass reduction factor: refers to the
live load combination factor when calculating the
representative value of gravity load. Generally take
0.5 (special attention should be paid to the library,
archives, warehouse and other buildings).
When the load-bearing wall is filled brick wall, the
calculation natural vibration period reduction factor
of high-rise building structure Values can be as
follows:
　　1 The frame structure may take 0.6-0.7;
　 　 2 The frame shear wall structure may take 0.7-
0.8;
　　3 The shear wall structure may take 0.9-1.0.
　 　 The damping ratio of reinforced concrete high-
rise buildings should be taken as 0.05
 The unfavorable arrangement of live loads is
generally not considered; in the calculation of the
internal force of high-rise building structures, when
the live load on the floor is greater than 4 kN/m2, the
increase in beam bending moment caused by the
unfavorable arrangement of the live load on the floor
should be considered.
Beam end negative bending moment amplitude
modulation coefficient: take 0.85.
The negative bending moment amplitude
modulation coefficient of the beam end of the
assembled integral frame may be 0.7-0.8; the negative
bending moment amplitude modulation coefficient of
the cast-in-place frame beam end may be 0.8-0.9.
　 　 Beam design bending moment amplification
factor: It cannot be considered at the same time as the
unfavorable arrangement of live loads: this factor is
used to consider the local reinforcement of the beam,
such as the increase of the internal force of the beam
after considering the stiffness of the floor. If the live
load is large, its unfavorable distribution will have
obvious influence on the beam moment, which should
be considered in the calculation. In addition to the
detailed calculation and analysis of the unfavorable
arrangement of the live load, the bending moment of
the frame beam, which is calculated without
considering the unfavorable distribution of the live
load, can also be approximated by multiplying the
magnification factor. The magnification factor is
usually 1.1-1.3. larger value. When the adverse
distribution effect of live load is approximately
considered, the positive and negative bending
moments of the beam should be amplified at the same
time.
　　Beam torque reduction factor: generally take 0.4.
Coupling beam stiffness reduction coefficient:
generally take 0.7.
　　Middle beam stiffness amplification factor:
　　Usually, the side frame beams of the cast-in-place
floor can take 1.5, and the middle frame beams can
take 2.0. ...
　 　 Consider P-△Effect: Generally, this item is not
activated.
　　 The program automatically checks whether the
second-order effect of gravity needs to be considered.
The result is in WMASS.OUT. If the specification
requirements cannot be met, click this item and
recalculate.
　 　 Beam-column overlap reduced to rigid domain:
This can be activated when the column section is
large. For special-shaped columns, this option is
generally not considered for ordinary multi-layer
frames.
