  • Question no 1 -
  • Ans -
  • Files and snaps are attached below.
  • Aim - To design dual slope pitched roof frame.
  • Introduction - Here we can design the roof frame as per given data and given figures. Also Pitched roof frame is frame which slopes are downward in two parts.
  • Pitched roof frame - A pitched roof is a roof that slopes downwards, typically in two parts at an angle from a central ridge, but sometimes in one part, from one edge to another. The ‘pitch’ of a roof is its vertical rise divided by its horizontal span and is a measure of its steepness. From the beginning of civilization, roofs are one of the essential structural components, necessary for building construction.Roofs protect the building structure and the inhabitants from adverse atmospheric and exposure condition and also to enable privacy to its inhabitants.
  • Types of Pitched Roof
  • Depending upon the slope, environmental condition, aesthetic view, and number of sloping surfaces, the pitched roof are widely categorized into the following types
  • Mono-Pitch Roof.
  • Double-Pitch Roof.
  • Couple Roof.
  • Couple Close Roof.
  • Collar Beam Roof.

  • Purlin Roof.

  • Question no 2.
  • Ans -
  • Files and snaps are attached below.
  • Aim - To draw bending moment diagrams of given frames.
  • Introduction - Here we draw the bending moment diagram as per given frames and its loadings. Here we use staad software to draw bending moment diagram.
  • Bending moment - A bending moment (BM) is a measure of the bending effect that can occur when an external force (or moment) is applied to a structural element. This concept is important in structural engineering as it is can be used to calculate where, and how much bending may occur when forces are applied. The most common structural element that is subject to bending moments is the beam, which may bend when loaded at any point along its length. Failure can occur due to bending when the tensile stress exerted by a force is equivalent to or greater than the ultimate strength (or yield stress) of the element. However, although the mechanisms are different, a beam may fail due to shear forces before failure in bending.
  • Bending moment diagram - It is a diagram in which the deflection or bending of beam or column is takes place in to account for certain loading condition. Drawing of bending moment diagram for frames as perfix, hinge and pineed support conditions.

  • Files and snaps are attached below.
  • Aim - To Find lateral and vertical deflection at points.
  • Introduction - Here we can find the lateral deflection on previous results for points A. We can find vertical deflection on previous results for points between AB, BC, B.
  • Lateral deflection - Lateral deflection is movement perpendicular to the axial plane of the expansion joint. It is a shear motion on the belows. Lateral deflection involves positioning the flowline end to one side of the target structure and then pulling it laterally into position.
  • Vertical deflection - The deflection of the vertical is the difference in direction between the direction of Earth's gravity vector and some reference direction, such as the direction perpendicular to a given reference ellipsoid or the direction of some reference gravity field (the normal gravity). The vertical deflection (VD) or deflection of the vertical (DoV), also known as deflection of the plumb line and astro-geodetic deflection, is a measure of how far the gravity direction at a given point of interest is rotated by local mass anomalies such as nearby mountains. They are widely used in geodesy, for surveying networks and for geophysical purposes.
