Week 6 Challenge
Answer-1
Aim- Design of chequered plate with given span and all edge fixed
Procedure-
- Assumed thickness of plate
- Find stress formula and value From roarks chart table 11.4 find
- Calculate mac stress, stress at center and ymax
Calculation and check as per attachment-

Answer-2
Aim – To draw load path and find out axial force type and type of bracing
Procedure-
Figure-1
Draw load path- As per attachment

Type of Bracing- Single diagonal bracing
Axial force Type- All bracing in compression
Figure-2
Draw load path- As per attachment

Type of Bracing- Single diagonal bracing
Axial force Type- compression and tension in alternate bracing , beam is unstressed.
Figure-3
Draw load path- As per attachment

Type of Bracing- Cross bracing
Axial force Type- compression and tension in bracing , beam is unstressed.
Figure-4
Draw load path- As per attachment

Type of Bracing- Eccentric bracing
Axial force Type- compression and tension in bracing , beam is unstressed.
Figure-5
Draw load path- As per attachment

Type of Bracing- Single diagonal bracing
Axial force Type- Compression only in column
Figure-6
