Abstract:
A procedure is presented to analyze frames of multistory structures for the structural effects of differential elastic and inelastic shortening between adjacent columns or walls..Results are presented of a 6 1/2 year observation of elastic plus creep and shrinkage strains of a number of columns and walls in the second story of a 38 story building. The measured strains are compared with the analytically computed and found to be in acceptable agreement.
