DESIGN CRITERIA FOR RAPIDWALL BUILDING SYSTEMS

 Building Location is Saudi Arabia.

• All walls are built using Rapidwall panels of thickness 124mm.

• All Rapidwall panels are filled using 20MPa concrete (Assumed minimum design
strength for conservatism)

• Average Wall density is assumed to be 23kN/m3

• A Reduced modulus of Elasticity = 19500 MPa is used to represent the Rapidwall

panel with concrete infill. (Calculation and reference provided below)

• Rapidwall system will be modelled using shell elements with a flexural stiffness
modifier of 0.7 and a lateral stiffness modifier of 0.2 (as the wall system is a one-
way vertical slab with weak lateral stiffness. This approach is to simulate the
anisotropy of the Rapidwall system). The flexural Stiffness modifier for slabs is
taken as 0.25. (As per Section 10.11 , 13.01 of ACI 318 Code and reference table
provided below with attached reference report for further clarification)

• Site Class is taken as “C”

 DESIGN LOADS & COMBINATIONS
5.1 DESIGN LOADS:
i) Seismic Load (Per SBC 301): Seismic Design Force:
Seismic Base Shear, V = (1.2*SDS/R)*W (From Eqn.-10.8.1)

Here,
Site Class = D
R = 3.0 (From Table-10.2)
W = Effective seismic weight
SDS = (2/3)* SMS (From Eqn.-9.4.4-1)
SMS = Fa*SS (From Eqn.-9.4.3-1)
Here,
Fa = 1.6 (From Table-9.4.3a)
SS = 0.008g (From Fig-9.4.1(e))
SMS = Fa*SS = 1.6*0.008 = 0.0128
SDS = (2/3)*0.00128 = 0.00853
So, V = (1.2*0.00853/3.0)*W = 0.00341*W

10 | P a g e
ii) Wind Load (Per SBC301):
Wind Design Force:
Exposure Type ‘C’ (From Sec-6.4.2)
Velocity Pressure, qZ = 0.0473x10-3*Kz* Kzt* Kd*V2*I (From Eqn.-7.2-12)
Here, Basic Wind Speed, Vb = 152 Km/h (From Fig-6.4-1)
Kz = 1.0 (From Table-7.2-2)
Kzt = 1.0 (From Sec-6.4.3.2 & Sec-7.1.1.1(8))
Kd = 0.85 (From Table-6.4-1)
I = 1.0 (From Table-6.5-1)
qZ = 0.0473x10-3*1.0* 1.0* 0.85*1662*1.0 = 1.11 KN/m^2
Gust Factor, G = 0.85 (From Sec-7.2.7.1)
External force co-efficient = 1.3 (From Fig-7.1-1)
Design Wind Force = 1.11*0.85*1.3 = 1.23 KN/m^2

 STRUCTURAL DESIGN RESULT
• AXIAL FORCE

Figure-: Axial Force for Combination 3 ASD (D + WLY)

(Maximum Axial Force 35.647 KN/m)
Axial Capacity for 124mm Thickness Wall (See Section- 06 for Reference)
Pud = (600-13.75e), e is the eccentricity of wall in mm
e = t/6 = 124/6 = 20.67mm
Pud = (600-13.75*20.67) = 315.83 KN/m > 35.647 KN/m

Therefore Axial Capacity is Satisfied.

24 | P a g e
 • SHEAR FORCE IN X-DIRECTION

Figure-: Shear Force in X-Direction for Combination 2 ASD (D + WLX)

(Maximum Shear Force 3.319 KN/m)

Shear Capacity for 124mm Thickness Wall = 40 KN/m

Here Shear Force = 3.319KN/m < 40 KN/m.

Therefore Shear Capacity is Satisfied.

25 | P a g e
 • SHEAR FORCE IN Y-DIRECTION

Figure-: Shear Force in Y-Direction for Combination 3 ASD (D + WLY)

(Maximum Shear Force 7.247 KN/m)

Shear Capacity for 124mm Thickness Wall = 40 KN/m

Here Shear Force = 7.247KN/m < 40 KN/m.

Therefore Shear Capacity is Satisfied.

26 | P a g e
 • MAXIMUM MOMENT ON STRUCTURE

Figure-: Maximum Moment for Combination 2 ASD (D + WLX)

(Maximum Moment 3.285 KN-m/m)

From Axial/Moment Graph (See Section- 06 for Reference) we see that if we use one 12mm bar after
one cavity then walls are adequate against moment.

• DEFLECTION CHECK

27 | P a g e
 Figure-: Maximum Deflection for Combination 2 ASD (D + WLX)
(Maximum Deflection 9.401mm)

Maximum Deflection = 9.401mm

Length of wall where max. Deflection is occurred = 4458 mm
As per SBC 304 Table-9.5(b), deflection limit for live load = l/360
= 4458/360 = 12.38mm
Since 9.401mm < 12.38mm Therefore, deflection limit is safe.

Total Number of dowel bar = 152 nos.

Base Shear = 368.99 KN
Number of dowel bar which take seismic load (tension) in X‐ Direction = 15 nos
So, Shear taken by dowel bar = 368.99/152 = 2.43 KN
Total Vertical Load (Dead) = 4067.01+324.52+78.77 = 4470.3 KN
Vertical Load taken by each dowel bar = 4470.3/152 = 29.41 KN
Moment due to seismic loads = 1716.24+3919.56 KN‐m = 5635.8
Moment arm = 12m
So tension = 5635.8/12 = 469.65 KN
So tension of each dowel = 469.65/15 = 31.31 KN
Net tension = 31.31‐29.41 = 1.9 KN

 10.0. Summary & Conclusion

The purpose of this report is to assess the structural design of a double story house
(using the Rapidwall and Rapid Floor system) in Saudi Arabia. A finite element model
was created using ETABS 18.2 modeling the building with all corresponding openings
and doors using anisotropic shell elements. Wind and Seismic Loads were applied to the
model using the SBC (Saudi Building Code) load combinations. The design checks were
performed using the envelope of all ultimate load combinations. In accordance to the
design recommendations of the Rapidwall design manual.

The walls were found to be SAFE (axially) with a D/C ratio of 0.8 at the most critical
locations (which are localized near openings. The walls were also found to be SAFE in
shear capacity with a D/C ratio of 0.6 at all locations. The Rapid slabs are found to be
SAFE. Generally, all walls are safe in shear and satisfy the allowable values.
