Week 6 Challenge
1)
Aim: To design a chequered plate to carry a uniformly distributed Factored live load of 15 kN/m2. Consider the plate is spanned with a dimension of 1200 mm x 5000 mm with all edges fixed. (Refer Roarks chart table 11.4)
Procedure:
Result: A chequered plate with the dimension of 1200 mm x 5000 mm x 1 mm is designed to carry a uniformly distributed Factored live load of 15 kN/m2.
3)
Aim: To draw the load path and identify the Axial force type in a different type of bracing system below to resist horizontal shear & gravity load. Also, state the type of bracing system
Procedure:
First Bracing System:
Axial Force Type: Lateral force or Horizontal force with pinned support
Bracing Type: Diagonal Bracing in that diagonal brace back.
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Beams and Bracings.
Second Bracing System:
Axial Force Type: Lateral force or Horizontal force with pinned support
Bracing Type: K type Bracing
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Bracings.
Third Bracing System:
Axial Force Type: Lateral force or Horizontal force with pinned support
Bracing Type: X type bracing
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Bracings.
Fourth Bracing System:
Axial Force Type: Lateral force or Horizontal force with pinned support
Bracing Type: Eccentric type bracing
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Bracings.
Fifth Bracing System:
Bracing System: Single Diagonal
Axial Force Type: Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type: K-type bracing
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through columns only.
Sixth Bracing System:
Bracing System: Single Diagonal
Axial Force Type: Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support.
Bracing Type: Diagonal bracing in that diagonal brace back.
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Beams, Columns, and Bracings.
Seventh Bracing System:
Bracing System: X Brace
Axial Force Type: Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type: X type bracing
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Beams, Columns, and Bracings.
Eighth Bracing System:
Bracing System: Chevron System
Axial Force Type: Gravity force or Vertical force with pinned support
Bracing Type: Eccentric type bracing
Load Path: Load Transfer is happening through Columns.
Result: Types of Bracing System, type of axial loading in members, and loading path is successfully shown in the figure.
