Abstract

The changes in a building’s dynamic characteristics due to the actual partition load specified by the design solutions of inter-floor slabs in multi-story buildings are presented, compared to the commonly used uniformly distributed load option in designs. The realistic modeling of partition loads is crucial, especially in seismically active zones such as the entire territory of the Republic of Armenia (RA). The accurate distribution of static loads acting on buildings and structures can play a decisive role in evaluating dynamic characteristics. The main dynamic characteristics compared were the natural vibration period and inter-story drifts. Comparisons showed that for the third variant of a 16-story building with the same architectural and planning solutions, the dynamic characteristics and reinforcement percentage significantly increase.
