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

PROCEDURE:

1. Initially open the TEKLA file you saved previously.

2. After opening the file->We state the Seismic data in the structure.

3. To set-> Go to Load panel -> Under seismic load go to Seismic wizard.

4. Select the code spectra -> Next

5. A new tab opens->Check the base information of the model.

6. Check seismic zone and site -> Click Next

7. Now set the structure irregularities->If any plane or cliff give or else click next.

8. On the Fundamental period->select structure as RC steel composite.

Click on Next

9. In seismic force resisting system->select the type as Moment frame systems->steel building with OMRF

10. In Direct select the braced system ->building with SBF and concentric braces.

11. On the next tab->exclude the service load and select all others

Click next

12. Select the seismic combination ->click next

13. Click on finish

14. Now go to load combination->click on generate

15. Click next and select the load combination and finish.

16. Now before starting the analysis we check the factors

17. 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

18. Now to analyse the structure->click on 1st order analysis

19. After select the combination and cases you want to analyze

Click on Ok

20. After the analysis is done ->go to result view from the bottom right corner

21. On the result panel->Go to result->moment Major->Select the axis

22. It'll show the results of the bending Moment Major

23. These are the loads of Effective Seismic weight

SHEAR MAJOR:

AXIAL FORCE:

24. Now check for the frames members individually

For now open frame A section

\

25. 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

26. Click on check member->a list is shown here the critical failure of beam in moment major

27. So we try changing the beam section to MB400 (Previously MB300)

28. After trial and errors we rectify the error by giving the section of MB500 to the beams

29. Similarly we check the other members and change the sections or areas accordingly

RESULT: Studied the bending moment, shear force and deflection diagrams for the elements of the model.

2.

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

INTRODUCTION:- Tekla is a software product family that consists of programs for analysis and design, detailing and project communication. Tekla software is produced by Trimble, the publicly listed US-based technology company.

PROCEDURE:-

1. Now for the design of the foundation under the columns.

2. Go to the foundation tab.

3. Open the base level ->Under the foundation panel click on pad base foundation.

4. Select the pad base foundation -> Click on the column under which you want the foundation to be placed.

5. Select the column -> Right click and check members ->This foundation is failing under bending capacity.

6. So we try to increase the area of steel provided.

7. Providing 25mm dia bars with 300mm spacing and increasing the depths.

8. The dimension of foundation is 2500mm both in X & Y direction and depth 850mm.

9. We again check the foundation and the errors are removed.

10. Similarly we provide foundation to all other columns.

11. Select the foundation ->copy and apply to all other columns.

12. Check the foundation for the errors.

13. All foundation are check there are no shown errors.

RESULT:-

1. Successfully designed the foundation and the beams.

2. Removed the errors of the section which were failing under the critical loads.
