一.英文原文A NEW STAGGERED SHEAR WALL STRUCTURE FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGABSTRACTShear wall structure has been widely used in tall buildings. However, there are still two obvious disadvantages in this structure: first of all, space between two shear wall could not too big and the plane layout is not flexible, so that serviceability requirements are dissatisfied for public buildings; secondly, the bigger dead weight will lead to the increase of constructional materials and seismic force which cause desigh difficulty of super-structures and foundations. In this paper, a new type tall building structure-staggered shear wall structure-is presented in order to overcome above disadvantages of traditional shear wall, which not only provide big space for architectural design but also has lighter dead weight and high capacity of resistance to horizontal load.REINFORCEMENT CONCRETE STAGGERED SHEAR WALL STRUCTURAL SYSTEM IN TALL BUILDINGSStructure Style and Features of New Type Shear Wall Structural System：In this new-type shear wall structural system,every shear wall is at staggered location on adjacent floor, as well as adjacent shear walls are staggered with each other.One end of floor slab is supported on top edge of one shear wall; the other end of floor slab is supported on bottom edge of adjacent shear wall. The edge column and beam are set beside every shear wall. The embedded column and connected beam are set on every floor. The advantage of this structural system is its big use space with small span floor slab.The shear wall arrangement can be staggered or not according to use requirement, shown in Figure 1. As a result, the width of one bay is increased from L to 2L or 3L. In addition, the dead weigh of staggered shear wall is smaller than that of traditional down-to-ground shear wall, so the material cost is reduced. The structural analysis result indicates the wall amount decreases by 25% and the dead weigh decreased by 20% comparing the new-type shear wall with traditional shear wall, while both have same lateral stiffness. Two main obvious disadvantages of traditional shear wall are overcome and the use space of shear wall structures is enlarged effectively. Besides the architectural convenience, the staggered shear wall has other advantages. Although the stiffness of every shear wall is changed along vertical direction, the sum stiffness of whole structure is even along vertical direction when adjacent shear walls are set on staggered locations. The whole structural deformation is basically bending style. Form the analysis of reference,the staggered shear wall has stronger whole stiffness, less top-storey displacement(decreasing by about 58%),and less relative storey displacement comparing with traditional coupled shear wall.Under the same horizontal load, the staggered shear wall structure could effectively cut down the internal force of coupled beam and embedded column, at the same time the structural seismic performance is improved.Working Mechanism of New Type Shear Wall Structure Under the vertical load, this structure effect is the same as ordinary frame-shear wall structure, that is, the shear wall and column act together to resist the vertical load. Because the stiffness of every span shear wall is large and the deformation is small, the bending deformation and moment of columns are very small. Under lateral load, the structure deformation is uniform, thereby it can improve the whole stiffness effectively and the higher capability resisting lateral load is obtained.The 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 foundation.By 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 floor.But 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 structure.It 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 authors paper that the whole structure will occur integer-bending deformation under lateral force action,while every storey shear walls will occur integer bending witho
