 Statically Indeterminate Wall Structures
Generalized method - elastic distribution of actions SIWS:2

Spreadsheet calculations explanation

• System of naming of the walls V1y V2y… V1x V2x

• Geometry of the walls
- Height of the walls = 6m
- Height of cross-section
• Alpha factor used to determine relative stiffness of the walls. 1.0 for non-load bearing walls, 2.0
for load bearing walls. Only a1 is used as the walls have no openings.

Proposals for practical use from the text book ”Translations from Betonelementbyggeriers statik” ”figure 4.25

• The formula below is used to determine Six and Siy – relative stiffnesses around x and y

Generalized method - elastic distribution of actions SIWS:2

• x’ and y’ are coordinates of the walls according to original coordinate system

• x’ * Six and y’ * Siy are used in order to find the centroid of stiffness using

• Now x and y are coordinates of the walls according to “new” coordinate system having (0;0) in
the centroid of stiffness
• Now torsional stiffness and torsional moment can be calculated
- torsional moment (T) depends on external applied forces and lever arm to centroid of
stiffness (Py*Xp) and (Px*Yp). Anti-clockwise direction is taken as positive.

- torsional stiffness (V)

• Finally, forces can be distributed using
