Week 8 Challenge

1.Generate seismic loading based IS codal provisions and zone II. Any other data you can assume and input accordingly.

Ans)

Aim: To generate seismic loading based IS codal provisions and zone II. Any other data you can assume and input accordingly.

Tools Required:

-> Loads

-> Loadcases

-> Seismic load.

Procedure:

• Firstly open the model that was previously designed.

• Now under the load cases we need to select the seismic load and that will direct you to a new dialogue box.

• Now in that dialogue box you will asked to select and check all the values, check weather the values of the 1.00.

• Now you will be directed to new dialogue once you click next option.

• The dialogue boxes that appear in this process helps us to design the seismic load to the following structure.
• Once all the parameter such as length, width, height and many more check is done click on Finish.

• Now if we open the down load bar we can find the seismic loads that have been applied to the structure.

• Now that all the loads are applied we can now validate the structure to see and errors.

• If any errors found they would be listed under the validate option and when we click on the error we will be directed to that error place and it is highlighted with a solid arrow.
• Correct the error by changing the size of the particular beam or column.

Result:

Hence by following the above procedure we will able to apply seismic load on the design members of the structure.

2.Run the analysis. Summarize your understanding of the analysis results.

Ans)

Aim: To run the analysis and summarize our understanding of the analysis results.

Tools Required:

-> Analyse

-> 1st order linear

-> Validate

-> Check Member -> Static

Procedure:

• Firstly open the model that is perviously created.

• Now that all the loads are applied we can now validate the structure to see and errors.

• If any errors found they would be listed under the validate option and when we click on the error we will be directed to that error place and it is highlighted with a solid arrow.

• Correct the error by changing the size of the particular beam or column.

• Now select the analyse option on the top task bar, under that we have to click the 1st order liner option.

• Now the analysis is done and will show us the errors once it is done.

• Now click on the particular member and when we do the left click on it we get a dialogue box under that select the check member option and under that select the static option which displays another dialogue box.

• Now in the new dialogue box we can find the load analysis manually done and there we can check the value that is obtained of the loads that we have give or the material that we have chosen.

• Now check the values that we obtained by manual calculations and check the actual value that has to come out with the help of IS Code book.

• Now change the size of the structural members accordingly.

• Now validate the structure for any errrors.

Result:

Hence by following the above series of steps we will able to analyse the design members of the structure.
