Challenge

To calculate dead and live load for industrial steel structures and to apply them using TSD

1 ans:

Aim: To Calculate dead load in design report based on IS code and apply dead load on the model

Procedure:

Load calculations:

  • Dead Load=`1.2(kn)/(m^2)`
  • Finishes=500mmx24`(kn)/(m^3)`=`1.2(kn)/(m^2)`
  • Brick wall load =0.15x20x5.2=15.6`(kn)/(m^2)`(Ground to intermediate floor)
  • Brick wall load =0.15x20x6.8=20.5`(kn)/(m^2)`(intermediate floor to Roof )
  • Brick wall load =0.15x20x4.8=14.5`(kn)/(m^2)`(Roof to top floor)
  • Roof load =`1.5(kn)/(m)`
  • ceiling load=`0.3(kn)/(m)`
  • Now open Tekla structural designer software

  • Open the week 3 file where we have created a steel structure

  • Now we have week 3 file below

  • Now go-to model tab and select slabs on beams option as shown

  • Now add slabs to each floor as shown

  • Now go to the load tab and select load cases

  • Now we get a window named as loading as shown

  • Now add required loads in this window

  • Now Goto load tab and select combinations

  • Now we get a window named as loading as shown

  • Now click on combinations and add required combinations as shown below

  • Now select the level where we want to apply the loads
  • Now select the loads as required at the bottom left corner

  • Now go to the load tab and select the Area to apply load on the slab

  • Now we can see the Area load applied on the slab

  • Now select the level where we want to apply the loads
  • Now select the loads as required at the bottom left corner

  • Now go to the load tab and select the UDL to apply load on the brick wall

  • Now we can see the UDL applied on the brick wall

  • Finally, apply loads on the Roof

Result:

Calculation of dead load in design report based on IS code and application of dead load on the model is done.

2 ans:

Aim: To Calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply live load on the model

Procedure:

Based on the IS 875 the live loads are applied, as follows.

  • Workshop = 5`(kn)/m^2`
  • Staircase =5`(kn)/m^2`
  • Corridor = 5`(kn)/m^2`
  • Meeting Room = 5`(kn)/m^2`
  • Store Room =5`(kn)/m^2`
  • Toilet = 2`(kn)/m^2`
  • Canteen = 3 `(kn)/m^2`
  • Office Room = 3`(kn)/m^2`
  • Conference Room = 5 `(kn)/m^2`
  • Equipment Room = 10 `(kn)/m^2`
  • Rest Room = 2 `(kn)/m^2`
  • Administration Room = 5 `(kn)/m^2`

The Live loads are applied for all the floors, as shown below.

  • Now select the level where we want to apply the loads
  • Now select the loads as required at the bottom left corner

  • Now go to the load tab and select the Area to apply load on the slab

  • Now we can see the Area load applied on the slab

Result:

Calculation of live load in design report based on IS code and application of live load on the model is done.

3 ans:

Aim: Generate a calculation for 5T crane loading based on the following inputs

Procedure:

Given Data:

  • Centre to Centre of wheel = 10m
  • Weight of crab = 40 KN
  • Number of wheels = 4
  • Wheelbase = 2m
  • Crane Capacity=50 KN
  • weight of trolley = 10kN
  • hook approach = 1m

Maximum point load on Crane=Crane capacity + weight of the trolley

=50+10

=60KN

UDL=`(self-weight of cran e)/(distance between granty rails)`

=40/14

=2.89KN/m

Moment at A:

`sumMA`=0

=60x1-RBX14+2.89X14X14/2

RB=24.5KN

`sumFy`=0

RA+RB-60-2.89X14=0

RA=60+2.89X14-RB

RA=75.9KN

Now assuming self weight of gantry grider=1.2 KN/m

assuming self weight of gantry grider=0.3KN/m

Total self weight=1.2+0.3

=1.5KN/m

FACTORED LOAD=1.5X1.5

=2.25KN/m

Now load on each wheel=75.9/2

=37.97KN

Factored load=37.97x1.5

=56.95KN

=57KN

Moment at C:

`sumMc`=0

RDx6=2.25x6x6/2+57x4.5+57x2.5

RD=73.25KN

`sumFy`=0

RC+RD-57-57-2.25X6

RC+RD=127.5KN

RC+73.25=127.5

RC=127.5-73.25

RC=54.25KN

MAX SHEAR FORCE

`sumMF`=0

REX6-57-57X4-2.25X6X6/2=0

RE=101.75KN

IMPACT LOAD:

=10% OF WHEEL LOAD

=0.1X101.75

=10.175KN
V=Wl/2

=`(1.5X6)/2`

=4.5KN

Max shear force=4.5+10.175+101.75

=116.425KN

Lateral load analysis=5% of total weight

=`(5/100)`x60

=3KN
