1) Requirement #1 The beam under consideration has 4 spans & supports on 5 girder support. Assuming the supports are A,B,C,D & E from the left. a) Loads on Beam i) Dead loads Assume the unit weight of concrete = 25 kN/m^3 Own weight =B*H*concrete unit weight = 0.5*0.75*25 = 9.375 kN/m' Load from slabs All slabs'…

Q1.a)   Observation: Concrete crush and exposed reinforcement at the lower part of the beam-column joint. No defect was noticed at the upper part of the beam-column joint. Cracks developed from bottom to top. Comments: Flexural failure due to reversal stresses of an earthquake. During stress reversal, the top compression…

Q.1 The main differences between Static & Dynamic Analysis are: 1- Acceleration: In Static Analysis, the load doesn't vary with time, hence no acceleration exists. Conversely, in Dynamic Analysis, the load does vary with time, and the acceleration is to be considered. 2- Motion: In Static Analysis, the motion doesn't…

General: Forming the mass matrix (m) as mij = 0 where i≠j & the story masses at the main diagonal where m11 for the first story & m55 for the 5th story. Mass Matrix (m) =   Applying the following equations of the modal analysis: Studying the 5 mode shapes of the structure brings the following results: For…
