Finite Element Modeling for Wind Response of Aluminum Wall Cladding in Tall Building

by Okafor Chinedum Vincent, Mbanusi Echefuna Cyril, Kevin Chuks Okolie and Dominic Anosike Obodoh

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page # 165–172, 2017; DOI: 10.25046/aj020422

Abstract:

This paper analyzed wind loading responses of Aluminum Wall cladding panels in Tall Building using Ikeja Lagos State Nigeria. The wind loads were calculated according to Standard and Specification From BS6399-2:1997 Using the wind speed data of Lagos state Nigeria and finite element analysis, we predicted the responses of these Aluminum wall Cladding panels to…

Forced Vibration Response of Double-Bay Multi-Storey Building Frames with Joints of Infinite Rigidity

by Mbanusi Echefuna Cyril, Ngwu Chukwuemeka, Onyeka Festus and Onoh Felix

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page # 68–77, 2017; DOI: 10.25046/aj020410

Abstract:

This paper studied external-source-excited vibration response of double-bay multi-storey building frames for the effect of joint stiffening on bending moment and joint displacement. One of the frames has normal rigid joints. Three others of the frames have stiffened joints of stiffened lengths: 275mm, 425mm and 775mm respectively. Lumped mass system was the dynamic model adopted.…
