Location of two outrigger levels at distances x 1 and x 2 from the top
For the location of two outrigger levels at distances x 1 and x 2 from the top of the
structure, the lateral drift at the top of the structure is ( FigureĀ 3.51 ):
y x= 0 wL 4
2 EI [ M 1 ( L 2 - x 1 2 ) + M 2 ( L 2 - x 2 2 ) ]

____
___
8 EI -
and the restoring effect of the outriggers on the lateral drift at the top of the structure is:
2 EI [ M 1 ( L 2 - x 1 2 ) + M 2 ( L 2 - x 2 2 ) ]

___
y rx =0 =
M 1 and M 2 must be found in the above equations. This is done using the rotation
equations.
The rotations of the core at the levels where the outriggers are located are:
6 EI ( L 3 - x 1 3 ) - M 1
EI ( L - x 1 ) - M 2
q x 1 = w
___
___
___
EI ( L - x 2 )
6 EI ( L 3 - x 2 3 ) - M 1
EI ( L - x 2 ) - M 2
q x 2 = w
