Week 8 Challenge

1)

ANS:-

AIM:- To calculate dead load in design based on IS code and apply on model.

Dead Load Calculations:-

  1. Slab load =(model slab in software).
  2. Finishes loading(50mm thickness)=0.05x24KN/m2=1.2kn/m2.
  3. Brickwall with cement plaster thickness=230mm.
  4. unit weight =20KN/m3.(IS:875 part-1;Table-1).
  5. Floor height (Gorund floor to first floor)=3.6m.
  6. Brick wall loading=(230x20x3.6)/1000=16.2KN/m.
  7. Floor height (first floor to roof level)=3.6m.
  8. Brick wall loading=(230x20x3.6)/1000=16.2KN/m.
  9. Roof wall loading=1.5KN/m.

PROCEDURE:-

  • First open the previous week challenge in the TEKLA software.

  • Click on loadcases in the load tab and check if there is dead load created,If not created then create a load case named as dead load by clicking on add option in the load case dialogue box .click ok.

  • In the left bottom corner ,select dead load in the load case dropdown.

  • Click on area load in the load tab and enter the direction as global Z and value of load as 1.2KN/m2 and select all the slabs for applying the slab loading.

  • Then click on full UDL in load and enter the value as16.2KN/m for ground floor and first floor and select the beam lines and extra walls according to the plan.

  • Again click on FULL UDL and enter the value as 1.5 KN/m for the floor walls.

RESULT:-

The model is loaded with dead load as per the IS code for the RCC structure.

2)

ANS:-

AIM:- To calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply it on model.

Live load calculations:-

The live loads of different type of rooms is to be taken from IS 875 code part-2,table-1.

PROCEDURE:-

  • Click on load cases and create a load case named as live load and select the load type as imposed in the load type dropdown and click ok.

  • In the bottom left corner ,in load cases dropdown,select the load type as LIve load.

  • Click on area load in the load tab.
  • Enter the value of loading as per the plan given in the attatchments for ground floor and first floor.

RESULT:-

The model is loaded with dead load as per the IS code for the RCC structure.

Live load on ground floor:

Live load on first floor:

3)

ANS:-

AIM:- To generate manual wind loading in design report based on IS code with given input values.

Wind load calculations:-

RESULT:-

The calculation has been performed successfully.

4)

ANS:-

AIM:- To apply the wind load calculations on the model.

PROCEDURE:-

  • Click on frames in the model tab and create frames for outer walls of the structure.

  • Open frame using the structure window and click on wall panels in the model tab and create wall panels in all frames.

  • Now click on load cases in the load tab and add new load cases and name them as wind load +y+cpi,wind+y-cpi,and select the type as wind load and click ok.

  • Open frame D which is considered as wall A and apply wind+y+cpi and wind+y-cpi as per the calculations shown above by clicking on area load and setting direction as global y and entering the values as 0.42 and 2.5 respectively.

  • Similarly repeat for frame B which is wall B and Frame 5 which is wall c and frame 1 which is wall D. Set direction as Global X for walls C and D.

RESULT:-

The wind load is applied on all walls of structure and validated should be error free.

Wind+y+cpi:-

Wind+y-cpi:-

Validated structure:-
