Stiffness Modifier For STAAD PRO

This document provides guidance on assigning stiffness modifiers for structural design and serviceability checks. It gives two models for assigning stiffness modifiers for design, with slabs getting 0.1, beams and walls getting 1 or higher depending on the model. For serviceability checks, it provides modifiers of 0.5 for slabs, 0.7 for beams, 0.9 for columns, and 0.75 for walls. It also discusses checking that frame structures share at least 25% of the lateral load compared to shear walls. The document further discusses checking the modulus of rupture for shear walls and providing stiffness modifiers of 0.7 or 0.35 depending on if the wall is cracked or not based on comparing tension stresses to the modulus of rupture

STIFFNESS MODIFIER FOR DESIGN

Greater of the two below combination:

Model-01: slab: 0.1

Beam, column and wall: 1

Model-02: slab: 0.1

Beam: 0.35

Wall and column: 0.70

STIFFNESS MODIFIER FOR SERVICEABILITY CHECK:

Slab: 0.5

Beam: 0.7

Column: 0.9

Wall: 0.75

For any structure frame must share 25% lateral load compared to shear wall. To check this go to 3d view
and show displacement for windx or y and go to draw then draw section cut and check the % of column
load compared to wall.If this does not happen change the stiffness modifier for wall.

Modulous of rupture check for shear wall

10*sqrt(f’c)

To determine whether the Walls are cracked or not, we need to


do the followings:
1. In the first analysis step, assume that walls have no flexural cracks under combined effect of
gravityand lateral loads, so enter 0.7*Ig as a value of flexural stiffness modifiers.
2. From the outputs of first analysis step, extract the wall-shell elements tension stresses (S11, S22,S12 |
principal stresses Smax) from load combinations that have both gravity and lateral loads.
3. Compare wall's tension stresses values with concrete modulus of rupture [fr=0.62 * sqrt(f'c)
MPa]which denotes the value of tension stresses in concrete where the cracks start to be developed
afterreaching it.
4.If the extracted wall's stresses are greater than concrete modulus of rupture, this means that
wallsection will have cracks, so we need to repeat the analysis again with value of flexural
stiffnessmodifiers equal to 0.35 * Ig
I understand here that you are talking about pre-stressed precast concrete wall.Once the concrete
section is subjected to pre-compression caused by stands force so this will try to reduce/eliminatethe
tension cracks under seismic load.Here there are many schools to estimate the reduced stiffness
modifiers. The most popular ones is to considerstiffness modifier equal to (1) for un-cracked wall, and
(0.5) to cracked wall.Above values are equal to those mentioned in ACI code for walls after multiplying
by 1.43. And this will give almostsame approach as you mentioned above to divide the modulus of
rupture by 1.5.To conclude: use (1) as stiffness modifier for pre-stressed wall. Do the analysis and
compare the tensile stresseswith concrete modulus of rupture [0.62*sqrt(f’c)]. If it exceeds, then repeat
the analysis using (0.5) as stiffnessmodifier.
