To Analysis and Design of Steel Structures using TSD

1.Aim:

To Summarize the study for the bending moment, shear force and deflection diagrams for the elements of the model

Procedure:

• Open the Steel building model which was created for the previous challenge.
• 
• Basic checks in the settings:
• 
• The maximum number of iteration has to be 100.
• Click Modification factor ->Steel -> Building Analysis to check the value, which has to be 1 in all cases.
• 
• Click General -> Building analysis to check the value, which has to be 1 in all cases.
• 

Run the analyze:

• Click Analyze -> 1^st order linear and select all the combinations and load cases.
• 
• Click ok
• 
• Shear force:
• Go to Results-> Shear major
• 
• Go to Results-> Shear minor.
• 
• Bending moment:
• Go to Results-> Moment major.
• 
• Go to Results-> Moment minor.
• 
• Deflection:
• 
• Select defection in the result
• Axial force:
• Go to Results-> Axial force.
• 

2.Aim:

To outline the thought process in selecting the member sizes along with the foundation design by based on the analysis design the members.

Procedure:

• Check member:
• Go to Ground level.
• 
• Go to Scene content and uncheck all the element other than steel column in ground floor.
• 
• Right click on a member -> Check member -> Static
• Check if it passes by checking the status if it’s failed, double click on the member to increase the size according.
• Changing the size from selection section.
• 
• Member pass will be like as shown below,
• 
• Go to Scene content and uncheck all the element other than steel beam in ground floor.
• Change the steel beam size to MB600 to meet the require of this model.
• 
• Check the secondary beam and change the size if needed for it to pass.
• 
• Like wise do it for rest of the levels.
• 
• Similarly, check the bracing for all the levels
• 
• Go to base and check member for concrete column.
• 
• 
• Results:
• Base reaction for foundation:
• Go to Base level, select Fz in reaction and also select text to read the value
• 
• Result:
• After checking all the members run the analysis.
• Members all passed, here is the result of it the model.
•
