Due to the complexity of capturing backstay effects in the analysis, it may be desired to eliminate the phenomenon in the actual buildings. This can be accomplished by isolating the […]

The backstay effect is the set of lateral forces developing within a podium structure to equilibrate the lateral forces and moment of a tower extending above the podium structure. This […]

When flexible structures are subjected to lateral forces, the resulting horizontal displacements lead to additional overturning moments because the gravity load is also displaced. Therefore, in addition to the overturning […]
