Abstract
AbstractThe analysis and behaviour of transfer beams that support in‐plane loaded shear walls have been receiving added emphasis owing to their importance in connection with the design of tall buildings. In this paper, analysis and structural behaviour of transfer beams supporting in‐plane loaded shear walls are presented, where emphasis is placed on the interaction between the transfer beam and the supported shear wall. The interaction effect is shown to cause significant stress re‐distributions both in the transfer beam and in the shear wall within an interactive zone. Parameters that significantly influence the structural behaviour and force transfer mechanism are also highlighted. Based on finite element analysis, interaction‐based design tables are constructed and presented for the design of the transfer beam–shear wall system, which is represented by an equivalent portal frame. The design tables have been shown to provide practising engineers a very simple and efficient, yet accurate, means of analysis of the internal forces of the transfer beams and the support columns.
