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:

  • Brick wall width = 155mm
  • unit weight = 20 KN/m^3
  • Finishes = 50mm x 24 KN/m^3 = 0.05 x 24 = 1.2 KN/m^2

Floor height

  • Floor height for (GF to FF) = 5.2 m
  • Brick wall loading for ground floor = 20 x (155/1000) x 5.2 = 16.12 KN/m
  • Floor height for (FF to RL) = 6.8 m
  • Brick wall loading for first floor = 20 x (155/1000) x 6.8 = 21.08 KN/m
  • Roofing load based on purlin size : 1.5 KN/mm^2
  • Ceiling load of 0.3 KN per sq 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.

  • To get the values of live loads for different room we refer to IS 875 part2
  • Workshop=5KN/m2
  • Staircase=5KN/m2
  • Corridor=5KN/m2
  • Meeting room=5KN/m2
  • Store room=5KN/m2
  • Toilet=2KN/m2
  • Canteen=3KN/m2
  • Office room=3KN/m2
  • Conference room=5KN/m2
  • Equipment room=10KN/m2
  • Rest room=2KN/m2
  • Administration Room=5KN/m2

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-weightofcranedistancebetweengrantyrails">self−weightofcranedistancebetweengrantyrailsself-weightofcranedistancebetweengrantyrails

=40/14

=2.89KN/m

Moment at A:

∑MA=0

=60x1-RBX14+2.89X14X14/2

RB=24.5KN

∑Fy=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:

∑Mc=0

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

RD=73.25KN

∑Fy=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

∑MF=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
