Abstract
This study investigates the behaviour of tall staggered wall buildings in which the external load bearing walls of the structure is achieved by staggered wall arrangement along the height of the structure. Complete Perspex tall staggered wall structure model is fabricated and the complex model is subjected to static and shaking table vibration tests. Simplifications in the analytical approach are implemented and the final idealized model of the staggered wall structures to predict the behaviour of staggered wall building is analysed. The simplified approach predicted good agreement of deflections with static tests and the shaking table natural frequency results have shown some discrepancies within the normal bond of the experiments.
