Abstract
The design of buildings is highly dependent on soft-wares so as to best
represent the structure, reduce errors, efforts and time consumption. SAP, the
most known soft-ware, enables the analysis and design of structures.
Although the software has two features, one enabling the analysis of
structures once the members are fully represented (modeled) and they are
completely loaded; and the other enabling the analysis of structures segment
by segment as per the interest of the designer following the real construction
sequence; designers do not have more practice, clear well studied guidance
for the selection of either methods.
The non-linearity considered here is that caused by the stages only. The
material and geometric non-linearity are not considered. The creep and
shrinkage effects are also excluded to simplify the task.
This work is compiled of five chapters being the first one dealing on the
introduction of the paper work. Literature review is dealt on the second
chapter. The third chapter deals on the methodology followed for this work.
The analysis results of both methods for the five buildings of rises of G+5,
G+10, G+15, G+20 and G+25 are presented and discussed in the fourth
chapter. The fifth chapter gives conclusion and recommendation.
