Concept on positioning of Columns

aim

to complete the given challenges

q.1

ans:

sym

given layout is both X and Y direction is symmetrical

redundancy

the evenly distributed structural elements increase the redundancy

sufficient column provide the redundancy top and bottom and also load paths are large.

by-directional stiffness

a stiffness is more x direction compare y direction

q 2

vertical irregular

no walls in sixth level

slop ground

this maybe avoide plan aspect ratio

3. groun floor have a ople so its a soft story mechanisum

no beam in vertical direction so diffcut to distribute vertical force.

staircase portion have more stiffness compare other areas.

building right and left sides pheriphery is more stiffer.

the bay filled with room have higher mass by the corridor at a middle so it led irregularity of mass
