...emphasizes on Beams for the construction of a residential apartment, which is closely interrelated with columns and slabs. Controls: 1) Configurations of beam span. (Width, length, shape, bracing) 2) Material particularities (steel, bar spacing, concrete, admixtures) 3) Known/ Estimated Loads on beam Pattern of the geometry could be modified at any stage to optimize the objective. Along with the choice of materials; the quantities can make substantial difference in efficiency. States/Outputs: 1) Vertical Deflections 2) Internal Stress/Strains 3) Durability 4) Fire-safety-durations (Fibre-Reinforced Polymer) State variables are correlated to Control; control variables are primarily chosen to satisfy the conditions of States. Minimum cover, trial depth etc. are some early estimates which are altered overtime to meet certain standards. Model: 1) Key modelling features include 2 prime equations: i) Deflection equation- δmax = 5*ω*l4/384*E*I [Where δmax- maximum sustainable deflection, ω- uniform load, l- length of the beam, E- Young’s modulus, I- second moment of inertia] ii) Strength equation- R = (*Rn [Where R- load (dead or live; force, moment or stress),Rn- nominal strength (design strength), (- reduction factor] Deflection equations are derived according to the nature of load and type of beams. In this case a uniform load applied to fixed beam was assumed...

...position of the applied load(s) with time. An analytical procedure which deals specifically with the determination of the location of the moving load that will produce the design loads of the highest magnitude in the members was reached by using influence lines. Influence line can be defined as a graphical representation of the variation of internal member force or deflection in a fixed member section due to a unit load moving along or traversing a member of a given structural. It may also be defined as a response function of support reaction, axial force, shear force, bending moment or deflection. A deflection influence line is an influence line which only shows the relationship between the deflection of a point on the member, usually a beam, and the position of the unit load on the member. The actual deflection is found by superposition principle after multiplying the ordinate of the influence line by the magnitude of...

...structural design of this lecture room & office building involves design of floor slabs, stairs, beams, columns, shear walls, foundation and analysis of frames. The building is composed of solid slab, inclined solid slabs & slabs with hole. Live load and dead load analysis is made according to EBCS-1, 1995.After the minimum depth of slab for serviceability limit state were determined, the slabs were designed for partition load, floor finish using self-weight load and live loads according to EBCS-1, 1995 using different combinations and analyzed for the worst load condition. Stairs and landings were designed as one-way slab. For the analysis of frames, the restrained conditions at the foundation level are assumed fixed. Loads acting on beams from slab reactions and walls directly resting on beams were added to self-weight of beams to find total load acting on beams. These were inserted and analyzed using SAPv14 analysis for five load combinations. The design of beams and columns is done for the critical moment’s shears and axial loads obtained from the dead and live load combinations mentioned above of the selected axis. Beams were designed according to EBCS-2, 1995 provisions. The size of the footing was determined from assumed bearing capacity of the soil; the thickness of the footing is determined from punching and wide beam shear. Finally the footing was designed for flexure using design tables. The limit state...

...Portal Frames Portal frames are generally low-rise structures, comprising columns and horizontal or pitched rafters, connected by moment-resisting connections. Resistance to lateral and vertical actions is provided by the rigidity of the connections and the bending stiffness of the members, which is increased by a suitable haunch or deepening of the rafter sections. This form of continuous frame structure is stable in its plane and provides a clear span that is unobstructed by bracing. They are very efficient for enclosing large volumes; therefore they are often used for industrial, storage, retail and commercial applications as well as for agricultural purposes. A portal frame building comprises a series of transverse frames braced longitudinally. The primary steelwork consists of columns and rafters, which form portal frames, and bracing. The end frame (gable frame) can be either a portal frame or a braced arrangement of columns and rafters. The light gauge secondary steelwork consists of side rails for walls and purlins for the roof. The secondary steelwork supports the building envelope, but also plays an important role in restraining the primary steelwork. The roof and wall cladding separate the enclosed space from the external environment as well as providing thermal and acoustic insulation. The structural role of the cladding is to transfer loads to secondary steelwork and also to restrain the flange of the purlin or rail to which it is attached. TYPES...

...version, Doric columns stood directly on the flat pavement (the stylobate) of a temple without a base; their vertical shafts were fluted with 20 parallel concave grooves; and they were topped by a smooth capital that flared from the column to meet a square abacus at the intersection with the horizontal beam (entablature) that they carried. The Parthenon has the Doric design columns. * Pronounced features of both Greek and Roman versions of the Doric order are the alternating triglyphs and metopes. The triglyphs are decoratively grooved with three vertical grooves ("tri-glyph") and represent the original wooden end-beams, which rest on the plain architrave that occupies the lower half of the entablature. Under each triglyph are peglike "stagons" or "guttae" (literally: drops) that appear as if they were hammered in from below to stabilize the post-and-beam (trabeated) construction. They also served to "organize" rainwater runoff from above. A triglyph is centered above every column, with another (or sometimes two) between columns, though the Greeks felt that the corner triglyph should form the corner of the entablature, creating an inharmonious mismatch with the supporting column. The spaces between the triglyphs are the "metopes". They may be left plain, or they may be carved in low relief. * The architecture followed rules of harmony. Since the original design came from wooden temples and the triglyphs were real heads of wooden beams, every column had to bear a beam which lay...

The Story behind Pancake Theory (The Collapse of WTC) On September 11, 2001, the twin towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) collapsed due to a terrorists’ attack affiliated with al-Qaeda. It hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners and flying one into the North Tower and another into the South Tower. The major events include the following: * The airplane impact with damage to the columns. * The ensuing fire with loss of steel strength and distortion. * The collapse, which generally occurred inward without significant tipping. Some features that lead to the analysis of the collapse. * The towers fell faster than they could have if they were crushing themselves. * The volume of dust was too great to have been the product of a gravity-driven collapse. * The South Tower's top shattered before falling, and so its breakup was not a result of gravity-driven crushing. Before the terrorist attack, the twin towers were 110 stories tall. Constructed of lightweight steel around a central core, the World Trade Center towers were about 95% air. After they collapsed, the hollow core was gone. The remaining rubble...

... 1. When the deflections of a statically determinant beam are calculated using singularity functions, it is necessary to know the values of 2 boundary conditions. For each of the beams below, what are the boundary conditions? 2. Calculate the reactions and draw the SFD and BMD for the cantilever beams below. Using singularity functions, calculate the deflection at 2 metres, the deflection at the tip, and sketch the deflected shape. The cross section of the beam is 300 mm deep by 200 mm wide, and it is made of concrete with a Young’s modulus of 30,000 MPa. 4. Using singularity functions, derive (in terms of P) the equation for the upwards deflection at midspan of the beam below. EI = 10 x 106 Nm2 5. Determine the location and value of the maximum deflection for the beam below. How far from the centre is the point of maximum deflection (expressed as a percentage of the span length)? EI = 10 x 106 Nm2 6. Calculate the reactions and draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam below. EI = 10 x 106 Nm2 (Note that this has four reactions, so the 3 equations of equilibrium do not give sufficient information to solve the problem – it is statically indeterminate. The answer requires you to use the results from questions 4 and 5). 7. For the beam below, use singularity functions to determine an equation for the deflected shape, expressed in terms of x (measured from the left) and EI. If the beam is made of timber (E = 10,000 MPa) and the cross section...

...architecture was quite elaborate in its time. Greek structures were characteristically massive and extremely long and more commonly known for their temples. In addition, the Greeks also choose the placement of their temples atop higher ground overlooking the city so the structure could be seen from all over (Sayre, 2009). The Greeks used load-bearing construction to bear the weight of the structures' roof. Furthermore, post-and-lintel construction was also an essential technique used in all Greek architecture. Post-and-lintel construction used horizontal beams that were supported at the ends by a wall or vertical posts (Sayre, 2009). The vertical posts or columns used in post-and-lintel construction were composed using several large pieces of stone called drums (Sayre, 2009). Each drum had grooves carved into them that helped line the drums up evenly into a single column. The columns tapered at the top and bottom to help the columns look vertical; this technique is called entasis (Sayre, 2009). The Greeks developed three distinct orders or types of architecture; the Doric, the Ionic, and the Corinthian (Sayre, 2009). The Doric order was considered more masculine, while the Ionic order was more feminine (Sayre, 2009). Being the first of the three orders, the Doric style was considered more plain and blocky. The Ionic style was more intricate and easily recognized by its scroll capital, or top of...
