Abstract
This study is to propose a modified equivalent frame model for flat plate slabs under lateral loads. ACI 318 (2002) allows equivalent frame methods to conduct two-way slab system analysis subjected to gravity loads as well as lateral loads. Since the equivalent frame method in the ACI 318 (2002) has been developed base on the behavior of two-way system for gravity loads, and nay not predict the behavior of flat plate slabs under lateral loads with good precision. This study develops a modified equivalent frame model which can give more precise answer for flat plate slabs under lateral loads. This model reflects the actual force transfer mechanism among the components of flat plate slab system, which are slabs, columns and torsional members, more accurately under lateral loads than existing equivalent frame models. The accuracy of this model is verified by comparing the analysis results using the proposed model with the results of finite element analysis. The analysis results of other existing models are included in the comparison. For this purpose, 2 story building having 3 spans in both directions is considered. Analytical results show that the modified equivalent frame model produces comparable drift and slab internal moments with those obtained from finite element analysis.
