Week 6 Challenge

Objective of this challenge is to :

a) Understand the concept of designing of flooring systems,chequered plates.
b) Designing of decking slab
c) Understand the concept of lateral load system and gravity load system and how the loads are transfered along the framing system.

1.Chequered plate design:



2.Design of decking slab:





3.Lateral load resisting system and gravity load resisting system:


Here the horizontal component will take the tensile force and diagonal bracing will take the compression.It is a type of diagonal bracing.


Here the horizontal component will take the tensile force and diagonal component will take the compression force.It is also a type of diagonal bracing.


It is a type of x bracing.Here one of the diagonal members will act as the tensile force and other bracing will take the compression force acting opposite to the direction of force.


It is a knee type bracing frame.Here left side diagonal bracing will take the tensile force and right side bracing will take the compressive force.
