Week 2 Challenge

Aim: To understand the structural system of Industrial Structure namely Lateral Force Resisting Systems Vertical Force Resisting Systems Flooring Systems Introduction: Structural system, in building construction, the particular method of assembling and constructing structural elements of a building so that they support…

Aim: To understand the analysis and design of plate girder. The behavior of its components such as web, flanges and stiffeners under different loading conditions.     Introduction: A plate girder is a built up I-beam section, used to carry heavy loads which cannot be carried economically by rolled I-sections.…

Aim: To understand the concepts in analysis and design of flexural members like beam, girders, etc. Introduction: Flexural members like Beams are structural members that support transverse loads and are therefore subjected primarily to flexure, or bending. If a substantial amount of axial load is also present, the member…

Aim: To design the compression members of different sections, using the theory learnt in module.   Introduction: Compression members are commonly used as columns in building structures, chords or webs in trusses, bridge piers or braces in framed structures. The maximum strength of a steel compression member depends,…

Aim: To design tension members from the concept and procedure learnt from Week 2 videos. Introduction: Tension members are structural elements that are subjected to axial tensile forces. Examples of tension members are bracing for buildings and bridges, truss members, and cables in suspended roof systems. Design of…

Truss type reasoning Out of the two through type truss systems shown below, which is the most efficient in carrying gravity load? Reason it out. Solution: Truss A is "Pratt truss" & Truss B is "Howe truss". Pratt truss is one of the most common forms of truss and is made up of vertical and diagonal members that form…
