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 load on the model.

Given Data:

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

Dead load:

• finishes load = 0.05x24 = 1.2 KN/m^2

Brick wall load:

• Ground to intermediate load = 0.15x20x5.2 = 15.6 KN/m^2
• Intermediate to roof load = 0.15x20x6.8 = 20.4 KN/m^2
• Roof to top most roof = 0.15x20x4.8 = 14.4 KN/m^2

Procedure:

• Open the Tekla software
• And go to the File tab and open the previous project.
• Go to the load cases and add loads that are required.
• 
• Now go to load combinations and generate the loads.
• 
• Now applied the dead load of finishes
• 
• Apply the finishes load to all floors
• 
• Now apply the brick wall load for the wall is present.
• 
• 
• 

Result:

• 

2. Aim: To Calculate live load in the 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

Procedure:

• To get the live loads values to refer the IS 875 codebook
• Workshop = 5 KN/m^2
• Staircase = 5 KN/m^2
• Corridor = 5 KN/m^2
• Meeting room = 5 KN/m^2
• storeroom = 5 KN/m^2
• Toilet = 2 KN/m^2
• Office room = 3 KN/m^2
• Canteen = 3 KN/m^2
• Restroom = 2 KN/m^2
• Equipment = 5 KN/m^2
• Administration room = 5 KN/m^2
• Now apply the impose load for slab

Result:

3. Aim: calculation for 5T crane loading based on following inputs

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

Procedure:
