Week 6 Challenge
Structural Systems of Industrial structures
1. Chequered Plate design
Design a chequered plate to carry a uniformly distributed Factored live load of 15 kN/m2. Consider the plate is spanned with dimension of 1200 mm x 5000 mm with all edges fixed. (Refer Roarks chart table 11.4)
A.
2. Design of Decking slab.
Design thickness of RC slab required to carry Dead load of 5 kN/m2 & Live Load of 8 kN/m2 for a mezzanine floor in an Industrial structure with plan as shown below. Provide optimum spacing of the secondary beam and also choose the decking sheet profile to be used. Neglect the composite action of decking sheet and RC slab. Decking sheet is provided only for formwork purpose.
A.
3. Lateral Load resisting system & Gravity Load resisting system
Draw the load path and identify the Axial force type in different type of bracing system below to resist horizontal shear & gravity load. Also state the type of bracing system.
A.
Axial Force Type - Lateral force or horizontal force with pinned support.
Bracing Type - Diagonal Bracing in that diagonal brace back.
Axial Force Type - Lateral force or horizontal force with pinned support.
Bracing Type - K type Bracing
Axial Force Type - Lateral force or horizontal force with pinned support.
Bracing Type - X type Bracing
Axial Force Type - Lateral force or Horizontal force with pinned support
Bracing Type - Eccentric type bracing
Axial Force Type - Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type - K type bracing
Axial Force Type - Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type - Diagonal bracing in that diagonal brace back
Axial Force Type - Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type - X type bracing
Axial Force Type - Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type - Eccentric type bracing
