Challenge

To Analysis and Design of Steel Structures using TSD

Aim :

  1. Summarize your study for the bending moment, shear force and deflection diagrams for the elements of the model
  2. Based on the analysis design the members and outline the thought process in selecting the member sizes along with the foundation design

Procedure :

  • Find the reason for the failure of the member.
  • If the member fails by bending then choose the member which is able to resist the bending.
  • The member which has more section modulus that member is best selected for resisting bending.
  • At the same time check for the shear failure and other failures does not occur for the replaced member.
  • Replace the member by having good shear capacity.
  • This may be defined as low shear=0.6Vd
  • Also check for deflection if the member does not satisfy the limiting deflection then replace the member with the suited member as per IS 800-2007 table 6.

After checking the beam member it was failing in some criterias so increasing the size of the beam rectified the failure.

Foundation design:

The foundation member design is selected in a way that it should satisfy three conditions:

They are:

One way shear

Two way shear

The depth of the member is predicted using the one of the above three internal forces which has the worst case for failure.

The bearing capacity of the member decides the size of the footing member.

For foundation design:
Go to foundation tab from ribbon and select pad base and assign it to the column.
After designing the foundation pad it passed in all the checks.
