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

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

1. Calculate dead load in design report based on IS code and apply dead load on the model.

• Finishes of 50mm
• Slab as per design
• Brickwall 150mm thickness
• Roofing load based on purlin size
• Ceiling loading 0f 0.3KN per sq m

Load Calculation:

From IS Code

Open the Week 3 Challenge file

Now go to model tab and select slab on beams option as shown below

Add the slab property to each floor

Now go to the load tab and select the load cases as given below

Now add the required load as Self weight, Dead load, Wind load, Imposed load, etc.

Now select the load combination in the drop down and add the required load combination as per IS codes.

Now select the level where you want to apply the different load and give the required value of the load.

Now here we can see that 3D view of the applied load in the given model

2. Calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply live load on the model

• Assume the loading based on IS 875
• Roof loading
• Consider equipment loading as 5KN per sq m

• Load Calculation for Live Load As per IS 875

• The same way above I have done select the appropriate level to applied the live load

3. Generate a calculation for 5T crane loading based on following inputs.

• Centre to Centre of wheel = 10m
• Weight of crab = 40 KN
• Number of wheels = 4
• Wheel base = 2m

• Assume Data
  Hook Approach = 1m
  Wt. of trolley = 10 kN
  
  

Result:

We have done the following tasks:

1. Calculate dead load in design report based on IS code and apply dead load on the model.
2. Calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply live load on the model.
3. Generate a calculation for 5T crane loading based on following inputs.
