Challenge

To Analysis and Design of Steel Structures using TSD

AIM: Summarize your study for the bending moment, shear force and deflection diagrams for the elements of the model

PROCEDURE:

  • Initally open the Tekla file you saved prviously
  • After opening the file->We ste the Seismic data in the structure
  • To set->go to Load panel->Under seismic load go to Seismic wizard
  • Select the code spectra->Next
  • A new tab opens->Check the base information of the model
  • Check seismic zone and site->Click Next
  • Now set the structure irregularities
  • or else click next
  • on the Fundamental period->select structure as RC steel composite
  • Click on Next
  • +
  • In seismic force rsisiting system->select the typeI as Moment frame systems->steel building with OMRF
  • In Dir2 select the braced system ->building with SBF and concentric braces
  • On the next tab->exclude the service load and select all others
  • click next
  • Select the seismic combination ->click next
  • Click om finish
  • Now go to load combination->click on generate
  • Click next and select the load combination and finish.
  • Now before starting the analysis we check the factors
  • Go to Analyse tab->Go to settings
  • under the modification factors tab->select steel
  • check for tall the factors to be 1.0
  • you can modify the factors if needed
  • Now to analyse the strcutre->click on 1st order analysis
  • After select the combination and cases you want to analyze
  • click on Ok
  • Aftfter the analysis is done ->go to result view from the bottom right corner
  • On the result panel->Go to result->moment Major->Select the axis
  • It'll show the results of the bending Moment Major
  • These are the loads of Effective Seismic weight
  • Shear major
  • Axial force
  • Now check for the frames members indvidually
  • For now open frame A section
  • The frame A above->The beams shown in red has failed so we try to check the member
  • select the beam->right Click->Check member
  • Click on check member->a list is shown here the crictal failure of beam in moment major
  • So we try changing the beam section to MB400 (Previously MB300)
  • After trial and errors we rectify the error by giving the section of MB500 to the beams
  • similarly we check the other members and change the sections or areas accordingly
  • Similary do it for all other members and check for the errors

AIM:Based on the analysis design the members and outline the thought process in selecting the member sizes along with the foundation design

PROCEDURE:

  • Now for the design of the foundation under the columns
  • Go to the foundation tab
  • Open the base level ->Under the foundation panel click on pad base foundation
  • Select the pad base foundation->Click on the column under which you want the foundation to be placed.
  • Select the column ->Right click and check members ->This foundation is failing under bending capacity
  • So we try to increase the area of steel provided
  • Providing 25mm dia bars with 300mm spacing and increasing the depths
  • The dimension of foundation is 2500mm both in X&Y direction and depth 850mm
  • we again check the foundation and the errors are removed
  • Similarly we provide foundation to all other columns
  • Select the foundation ->copy and apply to all other columns.
  • Check the foundation for the errors
  • All foundation are check and there are no shown errors

RESULT:

  • Successfully desgined the foundation and the beams
  • removed the errors of the section which were failing under the critical loads
