 Introduction
 Tube structures:
 A framed tube is a three-dimensional system that engages
the entire building perimeter to resist lateral loads.
 The perimeter of the building consists of closely spaced
columns connected by deep spandrels.
 In practice, columns are placed 10 ft (4 m) to as much as 20
ft(6.1 m) apart, with spandrel depths varying from about 3
to 5 ft.

 Behaviour of tube structures:

 Unlike a solid tube, it is subjected to the effects of shear
lag, which modify the axial distribution in the columns.
 Shear lag increase the axial stresses in the corner columns
while simultaneously reducing the same in the inner
columns of the flange and the web panels.
 The bending mode is due to axial shortening and
elongation tube of the columns, whereas the shear mode is
due to bending of individual columns and spandrels.
 Tube structure modification:
 Although a framed tube is highly efficient, it does not
fully utilize the potential stiffness and strength of the
structure because of the effects of shear lag.
 The underlying principle for an efficient design is to
eliminate or minimize shear deformation.
 A somewhat different type modified version of tube are,
 Braced tube
 And bundled tube , permits greater spacing of
columns
 Bundled tube structure
 One of the most efficient structural system against lateral loads is
Bundled Tube Structural System
 Bundled tube uses two or more tubes tied together to form a single,
multicell tube, in which the frames in the lateral load direction resist
the shears, while the flange frames carry most of the overturning
moments
 The first person to implement the Bundled Tube Structural System
was FAZAL UR REHMAN KHAN from Dhaka, Bangladesh with the design
of the DeWitt-Chestnut Apartments in Chicago, Illinois
 Bundle tube structure is advantageous in following manner,
 Variety of floor configurations can be achieved
 The torsional loads are readily resisted by the closed form of the modules
 Greater spacing of columns
 Addition of interior framed web panels across the entire width of the
building decreases shear lag effects
 Shallower spandrels permitted provide for larger window openings
 Highly efficient in economic terms
