AIM: To Model and analyze a 10 storey building on ETABS with structural properties. 1-Ground floor or plinth floor level can be taken at a height of 1.5 metres from the foundation level 2-Each of the successive 10 storeys has a storey height of 4 metres. 3-The Structural element sizes (Beam, Column, Slab) on your…

Question 1:The building shown, 20 × 35 m in plan, has columns on a 5 × 5 m grid and shear walls (with dimensions shown in m, 250 mm in thickness) in three alternative arrangements, (a), (b), (c), all with the same total cross-sectional area of the shear walls. Compare the three alternatives, taking into account…

Question 1: Comment on the layout of the framing plan concerning earthquake resistance in the two horizontal directions X or Y (dots are columns, lines depict beams). Look into aspects of symmetry, redundancy and bi-directional stiffness and ductility. ANSWER: In this layout displayed in the picture above The framing plane…

Question 1: A five storey structure with 5 translational DOF is shown here. Each storey has mass ‘m’. The eigenvalue problem has been solved and the 5 periods of vibration Tn and their corresponding mode shapes, φn has been derived. The fundamental period of vibration (T1 = 2 seconds) and…

1-Compute lateral stiffness of the one story frame with an intermediate realistic stiffness of the beam. The system has 3 DOFs as shown. Assume L = 2h and Elb = Elc   ANS: Question 2: For the following structures: Determine the number of degrees-of-freedom for dynamic analysis Establish the equation of motion…

What is the mode of failure or damage of the beams in the figure above? Would you characterize the case as damage or as a failure? Are the damages repairable? Elaborate a) Generally, there are two types of failures caused in beams 1-Shear failure 2-Flexural failure. In the above figure the damage is caused on beam near…

1) Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project AIM:To set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project by using manage tab. TOOLS USED:  Architectural tab Grids Manage Coordinate Specify coordinate at a point …

1) Why are building codes or standards essential for the modeling/ efficiency of drawings in Revit ? ANS-1 Building codes address many of a society's most important concerns,including public health and safety,and environmental protection .Because they are democratic and deliberative process that applies improvements develops.The…

1) Based on the project saved from Week 3, proceed from First Floor Level .Model a Ceiling from architecture tab above the walls at first floor level ANS-1 AIM: To model a ceiling from architecture tab above the walls at first floor level. TOOLS REQUIRED: Open file Architectural tab Ceiling  pick lines Finish edit…

AIM:To create a G+4 Residential building as per NBC standards and make it a central model file which also should contain the following. 1.The sloped roof at the top level of the building(10 degrees). 2.Architectural components including furniture and home appliances. 3.room tags and annotations. 4.section cut through each…

1) Use the project file created from Week 2. Use it for this assignment. Based on your layout from week 2, using floor tool under architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser create a layout in the Ground floor Level. Align the floor plan with grids created from…

ANS-1 BIM is a acronym for building information modeling .It is process in which AEC i.e architecture,engineering,construction professionals collabrate on the planning,design and construction of a building within one 3D model. It is supported by various tools and technologies.BIM was invoked by autodesk and we can say…
