Challenge

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

1.

Aim:

To calculate dead load in design report based on IS code and apply dead loads on the model

Procedure:

Step 1:

  • Dead load = 1.2KN/m^2
  • Finishes = 0.05*24 = 1.2KN/m^2
  • Brickwall load = 22.28KN/m^2
  • Ceiling load = 0.3KN/m^2
  • Roof load = 0.75KN/m^2

Step 2:

Open TEKLA and now we need to add different loads in load cases tab

Step 3:

Now add the load combinations and add the finishes load to the levels

Now add the Brickwall loads,ceiling loads and Roof loads

Result:

2.

Aim:

To calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply live loads on the model

Procedure:

Step 1:

From IS875,we take the live loads as for as,

Workshop,Staircase,Administration room,Store room,Meeting room,Conference room,Corridor = 5KN/m^2

Toilet,Rest room = 2KN/m^2

Canteen,Office room = 3KN/m^2

Equipment room = 10KN/m^2

Now we need to apply the live loads for the floors

Result:

Given,

  • Center to centre span of the wheel = 10m
  • Weight of the crab = 40KN
  • Number of wheels = 4
  • Wheel base = 2m
  • Crane capacity = 50KN
  • Weight of trolley = 10KN
  • Minimum hook approach = 1m
  • Maximum point load on crane = crane capacity + weight of trolley = 60KN
  • UDL = self weight of crane/distance between rails = 2.89KN/m

Moment at A:

σ Ma = 0

60*1-Rb*14+2.89*14/2 = 0

Rb = 24.5KN

σ Fy = 0

Ra +Rb-60-2.89*14 = 0

Ra = 75.9KN

Now lets assume the total self weight of the grider = 1.5KN/m

Factored load = 1.5*1.5 = 2.25KN/m

Load on each wheel = 75.9/2 = 37.97KN

Factored load = 37.97*1.5 = 57KN

Moment at C:

σ Mc = 0

Rd*6 = 2.25*6*3+57*4.5+57*2.5

Rd = 73.25KN

σ Fy = 0

Rc+Rd-57-57-2.25*6

Rc = 54.25KN

σ Mf=0

Re*6-57*6-57*4-2.25*6*3 = 0

Re = 101.75KN

V =Wl/2 = 1.5*6/2 =4.5KN

Impact load = 10% of wheel load = 10%*101.75 = 10.175KN

Maximum shear force = 10.175+101.75+4.5 = 116.425KN

Lateral load analysis = 5% of total weight = 3KN
