tructure deformation is uniform, thereby it can improve the whole stiffness effectively and the higher capability resisting lateral load is main cause is the particular arrangement method of walls, which could be explained as follows: firstly, the lateral shearing force transfer mechanism is different from traditional shear wall. The lateral shearing force on top edge of shear wall is transferred to under layer floor slab though the bottom edge of wall, then to under storey adjacent shear wall through the under storey floor slab. At last, the lateral shearing force is transferred to ground floor shear wall and this way,the lateral shearing force transfer mechanism is special, in which every floor slab transfer the lateral shearing force of itself floor and above in traditional shear wall directly. This structure makes the best use of the peculiarity that the slab stiffness is very strong to transfer and resist lateral shear. Although the shear walls are not up bottom in sequence, the slabs which has larger stiffness participate in the work transferring and resisting lateral shear force from the top to the down,from the floor middle part to edge, and from the edge to middle part in whole corresponds to a space integer structure with large lateral stiffness connected all shear walls by slabs, which have been cut in every story and span. It has been proved in author’s paper that the whole structure will occur integerbending deformation under lateral force action,while every storey shear walls will occur integer bending without local bending. Secondly, in every piece of staggered shear wall (shown in Figure 2),the shear wall arrangement forms four large X diagonal brace along adcb,cfed, ehgf, gjih (dashed as shown in Figure 2).Because the shear walls forming X diagonal brace have large stiffness and strength, the X diagonal brace stiffness is strong. In addition, both the edge beams and columns around the boundary form bracing ‘frame” with large lateral stiffness. Hence, the structural integer stiffness is greatly improved.Due to the above main reasons, this structure is considered to have particular advantages pared with traditional shear wall structure in improving structural lateral stiffness. It can provide larger using space, and reduce the material, earthquake action as well as dead , it can provide larger lateral stiffness, which will benefit the structural lateral capability. In author’s paper and in this paper the example calculating results indicates that lateral stiffness of this structure are double of coupled shear wall structure ,and nearly equal to integer shear wall structure (light small than the latter).Aseismic analysis and construction measures in a building exampleIn order to study dynamic characteristics and aseismic performances in this structural system, the staggered shear wall will be used as all cross walls in the large bay shear wall structure without internal longitudinal walls.Example. Thereis a ninestorey reinforcement concrete building, which is large bay shear wall struvture, shown in figure3. here,walls columns, beams, and slabs are all castinsitu. The thickness t=240mm is used for shear walls from 1 to 3 stories, while thickness t=200mm is used for shear walls from 4 to 9 stories. Given the section of columns of width b=500mm and depth h=600mm . Give
