Week 6 Challenge
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)

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

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
