Abstract: The Arabic area is known for its high temperatures
especially during the summer period. It affects the structural
displacements and stresses in concrete elements. The main
objectives of this paper are to study the effects of thermal loads on
the response of super-long reinforced concrete frame buildings in
the Arabic area and regions with similar temperature variation
patterns, accounting for various design aspects considering both
methodologies of time dependent properties of concrete as per
CEB FIP 90 code and non-time dependent properties as per ACI
224.3R. To achieve these objectives a total of 272 one story
reinforced concrete frame buildings are numerically modelled
and analyzed using the finite element procedures of ETABS. The
models are divided into two different groups. The first group is
with columns fixed supports, the second group is with columns
hinged supports. Each group is analyzed twice: once with time
dependent concrete properties, and another with non-time
dependent concrete properties. The study findings are utilized to
develop a clear understanding about mentioned variables effects
at thermal deformations and columns reactions to aid structural
engineers in the thermal design of super-long buildings with
similar conditions of this study within time. The horizontal
deformations values increase proportionally with the increase of
slab length and column height. The horizontal reactions increase
proportionally with the increase of slab length and slab thickness
values. Fixed columns horizontal reactions are more than
horizontal reactions related to hinged columns conditions while
column height is inversely proportional with the lateral reaction’s
values. Time dependent properties deformations and reactions
ratios are around 160% the non-time dependent properties result
for all cases. Ignoring this difference imposes defects, additional
cracks and damages at the structures and related serviceability
conditions for 70 years period.
Keywords: deformation, non-time dependent properties,
reaction, time dependent properties

per CEB FIP 90 code and non-time dependent properties as
per ACI 224.3R. It is important to gain a deep understanding
of the imposed deformations and stresses at the structural
elements within time to avoid risk of over stressed elements
which lead to defects in buildings serviceability [1]. The
horizontal deformations and forces for the studied one storey
frame buildings with accounting for time dependent
properties of concrete including creep and shrinkage will be
presented. A comparison between the results obtained with
accounting for time dependent properties of concrete and that
from the concrete frame. Buildings with non-time dependent
properties will be carried out to enable comparing both
methods results.
II. METHODOLOGY
A. Used methods
Two groups of three- dimensional finite elements Etabs
models are generated. Both groups models have same
geometrical properties with similar elements sizes. First
group of ETABS models will be analyzed with time
dependent concrete properties for 70 years period
considering CEB-FIP 90 code method which is considered in
ETABS program while the second group of models will be
analyzed with non-time dependent concrete properties with
concrete strength 40(N/mm²) hence this value is almost used
for concrete buildings in Arabic area considering ACI 224.3R
method. For each group two different support condition will
be considered, the fixed and the hinged columns supports.
Other variables will be considered in ETABS models such as
two values for column height: 3 (m) and 6 (m). Slab length
will be increased from 60(m) to 400(m) with 20(m)
increments and two different slabs thicknesses: 0.3 (m) and
0.4 (m) as safe flat slab for punching and deflection. The
thermal expansion coefficient of concrete value of
(0.0000099/Cº) can be used for unknown conditions of
aggregate type and saturation degree of concrete [2] and [3].
The concrete building under conditions of cooling and
shrinkage has high probability of cracking [4]. Consequently,
the building constructed in summer will be subjected to high
possibility of tension cracking than others constructed in
winter season [5], so we can apply temperature reduction in
all Etabs models.

B. Defining thermal loads values for non-time dependent
properties models
Two different methods are presented in ACI 224.3R. First
method is related to Martin and Acosta whereas. ΔT is the
summation of the daily temperature changes and shrinkage,
(1)
whereas Ts is -17(Cº)=-30(Fº) for drying shrinkage
consideration. The design temperature with maximum daily
variation is 37-12=25(Cº) as shown in Fig. (1). while Ts is
17(C֩) , The total variation will be
=16.67+17=34C°.
Fig. 1 : The daily lowest and highest temperature during
2013(A.D.I.A, 2015) [6]and [7]
The 2nd method is related to National Academy of Sciences
ΔT is the largest from:
ΔT=Tw-Tm, or ΔT=Tm-Tc (2)
Where Tm is the temperature normally noticed within
construction period. Tw is the high temperature which is just
exceeded for a ratio of one percent within the summer’s or the
low temperature exceeded ninety nine percent within the
winter season [1]. Historical weather for 2013 shows the
maximum difference between January and August [5]. We
will presume the construction took place in the highest
temperature which took place in August 48Cº, the lowest
temperature is in January with Temperature 9Cº. In this case
the difference is 48-9=39C°.
Fig. 2 The daily lowest and highest temperature during
2013 [6] and [7].
We need to consider the higher temperature value between
these two methods in Etabs file which is about -40 C°.
C. Defining thermal loads and concrete properties for
time dependent properties models
In non–time dependent properties Etabs models, the
maximum temperature variation was applied (-40 C°),
considering shrinkage as (-17 C°), the net temperature
fluctuation is 40-17=23 C°, this temperature fluctuation
-23C°is considered in time dependent properties Etabs files in
addition to creep and shrinkage loads to compare time
dependent properties with non-time dependent properties
results. Etabs can define concrete creep, shrinkage and daily
fluctuation temperature loads effect at concrete slab
considering time dependent properties of concrete as clarified
in Fig. 3 below

Time-dependent concrete strength, b) Time –dependent
concrete creep coefficient and c) Time –dependent shrinkage
strain [2].
The considered time is 70 years, same period is recommended
in CEB FIP, 1990, number of days is 70x360=25200 days.
Time dependent type is CEB-FIP Model code-90. Relative
humidity is 60% as mean average value in Arabic area, the
national size is 300 mm and 400 mm same values of the slab
thickness (ACI Committee 209R, 1997).

An analytical study was conducted to investigate the impact of
temperature loads fluctuations on three dimensional- one
story frame system buildings in Arabic area with different
design aspects. These study results are shown in Fig.s (5) and
(6). It is obvious that maximum horizontal deformations UY
values which are parallel to slab length are recognized at slab
edges-axis (a) and (k). The thermal deformations increase
proportionally with the increase of slab length and column
height. The results also indicate that using thicker slabs will
reduce the horizontal deformations for hinged columns
conditions while deformations values seem almost identical
for fixed columns conditions with different slabs thicknesses.
In general, all single storey finite element analysis models
have horizontal deformations smaller than
∆˳=α.Δt.(1/2L) (3)
which is the half deflection of external joints developed in an
unrestrained frame as expressed in ACI Committee 224.3R .
The maximum horizontal deformations UY correspond to
hinged columns supports with 6m storey height. Hinged
columns support models’ deformations are more than
horizontal deformations related to models with fixed column
supports for both columns heights. Consequently, fixity
conditions have positive impact on deformations reduction
and serviceability conditions for these buildings.
Fig. 5 Horizontal deformations at peripheral columns
slab thickness 40cm.
Fig. 6 Horizontal deformations at peripheral columns
slab thickness 30cm
.
Table 1 displays the ratios of the fixed columns deformations
versus hinged columns deformations. Fixed columns
conditions have horizontal deformations values close to that
of hinged columns deformations with ratios of more than 80%
for all 6 m column height models. This ratio will be 90% for
all slabs with length lesser than 240m. However, models with
fixed column conditions and height of 3 m have horizontal
deformations values close to that of hinged columns
deformations with ratios more than 75% for all slab lengths
lesser than 150m for both slab thicknesses. This ratio
decreases with the increase of the slab length for both slab
thicknesses with a reduction reaching 45% for slab length of
400 m. These ratios are slightly larger for the 40cm slab
thickness. These ratios help the engineer to predict the
deformations in similar buildings conditions.

Table I Ratiosof fixed deformations /hinged deformations
B. Analysis of displacements considering time
-dependent properties of concrete
Fig.s (7) and (8) show that the horizontal deformations UY
values increase proportionally with slab length increment and
column height. Using thicker slabs will reduce the horizontal
deformations for hinged columns conditions while its impact
was not recognized clearly for fixed columns conditions.
Most horizontal deformations related to Etabs models have
horizontal deformations (UY) larger than ∆˳=α.Δt.(1/2L)
values which is the deflection of external joints developed in
unrestrained frame. The maximum horizontal deformations
UY are related to hinge columns supports with 6m storey
height. Hinged columns support model’s deformations are
more than horizontal deformations related to models with
fixed columns supports with 6m and 3m columns heights. So,
fixity conditions have positive impact at deformations
reduction and serviceability conditions for these buildings.

C. Analysis of reactions considering non-time dependent
properties of concrete
A detailed analysis is conducted to investigate the impact of
temperature loads fluctuations in Arabic area on peripheral
columns reactions forces, the middle column at external slab
edges at axis k and a. The results are presented in Fig.s (9) and
(10). It is clear from both Fig.s results that horizontal
reactions proportionally increase with the slab length
increase. Fixed columns horizontal reaction FY (parallel to
slab length) is more than horizontal reaction related to hinged
columns conditions which means fixed columns models
require bigger footings size than hinged ones under thermal
loads while column height is inversely proportional to the
horizontal reaction values. It is clear that concrete frames
result with fixed supports conditions and three meters of
storey height imposes the largest and critical values of
reactions. Horizontal reactions related to these Etabs models
are 3 to 5 times larger than reactions related to similar
conditions with 6m columns height. Fixed columns reactions
at supports for models 50 m slab length and 3m storey height
are 15 time larger than hinged columns models with same
properties. Horizontal reactions for the thicker slab (40cm)
are almost twice of horizontal reactions related to slab
thickness 30cm with hinged columns supports. This ratio of
slab thickness 40cm horizontal reaction to slab thickness
30cm is reduced to 1.3 for fixed columns conditions,
consequently slab thickness factor seem with high importance
at reactions results while its impact was minor at lateral
thermal deformations values.

D. Analysis of reactions considering time -dependent
properties of concrete
Fig.s (11) and (12) display the horizontal reactions at critical
peripheral column with biggest value of reaction, the middle
column at external slab edges at axis k and a It shows that the
horizontal reactions increase proportionally with the increase
of slab length and slab thickness values. Fixed columns
horizontal reactions FY (parallel to slab length) are more than
horizontal reactions related to hinged columns conditions
which means fixed columns models require bigger footings
size than hinged ones. Column height is inversely
proportional with the lateral reaction’s values. It is clear that
concrete frames result with fixed supports conditions and
three meters of storey height imposes the largest and critical
values of reactions. Horizontal reaction related to these Etabs
models are 4 to 25 times larger than reactions related similar
conditions finite element models but with 6m columns height.
Fixed columns reactions at supports for models 50 m slab
length and 3m storey height are 40 time larger than hinged
columns models. Finite element models showed that this ratio
will be reduced for the longer slabs models. It reduced from
40 to 4 for models with 400m slab length. It is clear from all
previous Fig.s that: the increment in horizontal reactions
under thermal loads due to column support condition is
associated with reduction in horizontal slabs deformations.
The support condition has major impact at thermal reactions
which affects the structural elements integrity, sizes and the
total cost of the project due to increasing the structural
elements sizes for the building adequacy versus imposed
thermal stresses

thickness 40cm.
Fig. 12 Horizontal reactions at peripheral columns, slab
thickness 30cm.
E. Comparison of results between time-dependent and
non-time dependent models:
Firstly, there will be a comparison between time dependent
properties (T.D.P) and non-time dependent properties
(N.T.D.P.) models results regarding the imposed
deformations at the structural system. Fig.s (13) and (14)
present the horizontal deformations for all models with time
dependent properties and non-time dependent properties
considering all previous variables These Fig.s show that
time-dependent horizontal deformations are more than
deformations related to non-time dependent properties for all
models
Fig. 13 Horizontal deformations at peripheral columns,
slab thickness 30cm
Fig. 14 Horizontal deformations at peripheral columns
slab thickness 40cm.
Table II presents horizontal deformations ratios for time
dependent properties to non-time dependent properties which
are around 160%. Time dependent properties analysis
deformations are more critical than non-time dependent
properties deformations. Ignoring this difference imposes
defects and damages in structures serviceability conditions
and deformations for 70 years period. This ratio can be used
as a tool for the structural engineers to predict deformations
considering using one of both methods for analysis and
predicting the 2nd
method deformations.

Fig. 15 and 16 present the horizontal reaction forces for all
models with time dependent properties and non-time
dependent properties, considering two different supports
conditions hinged and fixed columns conditions. Slab
thickness 30cm and 40 cm and columns heights of 3m and 6m.
These Fig.s show that time-dependent reactions forces are
more than reactions related to non-time dependent properties
for all modelled cases. This affects the structural elements
sizes and the total cost of construction.

Table IV displays the ratios of horizontal reaction forces of
time dependent properties to non-time dependent properties.
Ignoring this difference imposes defects and damages to the
structures elements in its serviceability conditions and
footings for 70 years period. This ratio can be used as a tool
for the structural engineers to predict deformations
considering using one of both methods for analysis and
predicting the 2nd
method deformations.

properties to non-time dependent properties models
IV. CONCLUSION
Temperature loads imposes different horizontal deformations
(parallel to slab length) at peripheral columns in 1st floor
level. Conversion is clear in deformations values, but it is not
identical, this difference in peripheral columns horizontal
deformations values at first floor level are more recognized in
fixed columns conditions than hinged columns, The
horizontal deformations values increase proportionally with
the increase of slab length and column height. Slabs thickness
increment reduces the horizontal deformations for hinged
columns conditions while its impact was not recognized
clearly for fixed columns conditions. For non-time dependent
properties study as per ACI 224.3R, the horizontal
deformations of peripheral columns developed in
unrestrained frame ∆˳=α.Δt.(1/2L) was not exceeded. It can
be proposed as the upper bound can be achieved for models
with hinged conditions, this limit was exceeded in
time-dependent properties study recognized in CEB-FIP 90
code. Time dependent properties deformations ratios are
around 160% the non-time dependent properties study results
for all cases. This require increment in structural elements
sizes or rebars for time dependent properties models
compared to similar non-time dependent concrete properties
cases.to withstand the imposed deformations and reactions for
70 years Ignoring this difference imposes defects and
damages at structures with life span of 70 years.
