Week 8 Challenge

Q1 ) Calculate dead load in design report based on IS code and apply dead load on the model

• Finishes of 50mm
• Slab thickness as per the design
• Brick wall load
• Roofing load

ANS)

AIM : To calculate the dead load based on the design and apply it on the structure.

TOOLS USED : MS Excel.Loads. Loadcases. Dead load. Area.

PROCEDURE :

• First open MS Excel and start the calculations of the dead load values which should be applied on the structure.

• Next go to loadcases and create a new loadcase with the name Deadload.
• Next select deadload option from the drop up box and select dead load.

• We have to use the IS standard values for deadload and apply the values calculated in the excel sheet.
• In the left side enter the value of load and select global z directions.

• Now with the help of cursor place the area deadload on the slabs and beams.

RESULT : Hence, calculation and applying of the dead load to the structure is done successfully.

Q2 ) Calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply live load on the model.

ANS)

AIM : To calculate live load based on IS code and to apply live load on the model.

TOOLS USED : MS Excel. Loads. Loadcases. Live load. Area load.

PROCEDURE :

• First open MS Excel and do the live load calculations.

• We can get the values of live load from IS standard codes.

• Go to load cases and add imposed live which is used to apply live load.

• The live load values are different for each and every types of rooms.

• After selecting live load, use area option to apply the loads on the model in each floor.
• All the live loads will be applied.

RESULT : Hence applying the live loads to the model is done successfully.

Q3) Generate manual wind loading in the design report based IS code as per the following input

• Basic wind speed = 50m/s
• Terrain category 2

ANS 3)

AIM: To generate the wind load calculations.

RESULT :

Q4) Based on the above calculation apply the loadings on the model.

ANS)

AIM : To apply the loads based on the above calculation of question 3.

TOOLS USED : Loads. Loadcases. Wind load. Area load.

PROCEDURE :

• First open the file where we have constructed the model.

• Next go to loads and select loadcases.

• Create new wind loads for X and Y ( Both +Cpi and -Cpi)

• Select each of the wind loads and apply on the structure.

• Before applying loads create wall panels.
• Adjust the coordinate system as

• Face A and B : Global Y.
• Face C and D : Global X.

RESULT : Hence, applying the wind loads on the structure using manual calculations is done successfully.
