85M102006D Transform Structure Modular Stair Tower.pps Modular Stair Tower.pps Coordinate Transformation Function.html Coordinate Transformation Function.html Original purpose of using MathCAD to transform structure is to simulate the process of rigging and installing stair tower module. Same as the “MOVE OBJECT” command. (Why not use “MOVE OBJECT” ? ) Later on, it is found this little program is very useful to transform any structure and combine structures in different orientation and origins together.

85M102006D Torsional seismic effect The objective is to redistribute the structure's mass such that the requirements for accidental torsion are met. At each level of the structure where it is desired to include accidental torsion, the mass will be re-distributed such that the new center of mass has been offset from its original position the required distance (normally 5% of the structures maximum dimension perpendicular to the direction of motion as code requirement).

85M102006D Acknowledgements The GT STRUDL analytical model used in this presentation is based on the Turbine Building for the Westinghouse AP1000 Advanced Passive Light Water Reactor Electric Power Generating Plant. Westinghouse Electric Company is the owner of the design. The original GT STRUDL analytical model was created by Toshiba Corporation/Obayashi Corporation in Japan. The design activity is being completed by Shaw under contract to Westinghouse.
