| Abstract: |
Stability represents a fundamental problem in structural engineering which must be investigated to ensure the safety of structures against collapse. The importance of the subject is evident from the history of structural collapses caused by neglecting the stability aspects in design. The campus of the Asian University of Woman (AUW) at Dhaka, Bangladesh master planned by famous architect Moshe Safdie and Associates (MSA) which was detailed by VITTI-SHS Consortium. The Civil and Structural issues of the Campus Center of the AUW was solved by Design Planning & Management Consultants Ltd. (DPM). In the Academic Building of AUW, there is a long passage of three storied high supported on thin columns that supports a garden at the top. The passage columns need to be thin in size and not allowed to connect in the longitudinal direction. Stability of the columns in the unconnected direction was in question. During finalization of construction design, stability of the structure was mathematically checked by linear buckling analysis. The aim was to find the buckling modes and corresponding critical buckling loads. This paper represents the finding of the stability analysis and discusses fundamental issues of stability of the building structures. |
