Week 5 Challenge

1 )

Aim: To Calculate the wind loads manually

The manual wind loads are calculated in the Excel sheet as shown below

This load calculation is of Y direction.

Similarly the wind loads are calculated in the X direction as the same procedure followed above

2 )

Aim: To apply the above calculated loads

Procedure:

1. Defining the load cases.

2. Selecting Frame D and Selecting the +Y +cpi applying the load of 0.24 on Face A

Selecting Frame D and Selecting the +Y -cpi applying the load of 1.44 on Face A

3. Selecting Frame A and Selecting the +Y +cpi applying the load of -0.9 on Face B

Selecting Frame A and Selecting the +Y -cpi applying the load of 0.3 on Face B

4.Selecting Frame 2 and Frame 8 and Selecting the +Y +cpi applying the load of 1.32 on Face C and Face D.

Selecting Frame 2 and Frame 8 and Selecting the +Y -cpi applying the load of -0.12 on Face C and Face D.

5. Applying Roof loads of -1.44 and 0 on both the roof tops on both sides.
