Self-supporting steel chimneys: When the lateral forces (wind or seismic forces) are transmitted to the foundation by the cantilever action of the chimney. This is particularly obvious for very tall structures where the lateral forces are the most important design consideration. by shear.5 percent. weight of furniture etc. PUNCHING SHEAR What is punching shear? The failure mechanism of structural elements like slabs and foundation etc. shear walls. These are discussed in detail below. the use of high strength steel. is called punching shear.TYPES AND DESIGN OF STEEL CHIMNEY The design of steel chimney can be done as two types: Self-supporting steel chimneys Guyed steel chimneys. There are many methods available for stabilizing structures as shown below. These loads should be suitable assumed by the designed. tubes.(…) BRACED FRAME & MOMENT RESISTING CONNECTION Braced frames and moment resisting frames are used in building and other structures subjected to lateral loads to provide stability or collapse will occur. Examples for live loads are weight of persons. the stiffness of the building is greatly increased. The following recommendations should be followed when welding reinforcement to avoid damage to the bars and to provide the required force transfer: Carbon content of the bars should not be more than 0. METHODS OF INCREASING STRUCTURAL STIFFNESS The methods of increasing structural stiffness of tall buildings are by providing central core. dust loads. but all advantages lead to reduced construction time. then the chimney is known as self-supporting chimney. Moment-Resisting Connections:(…) ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING SYSTEMS There are many advantages of pre-engineered building systems. It keeps changing from time to time even on same structure. Following are advantages of Pre-Engineered Building Systems: Reduced Construction Time: Due to the systems approach. 1. It is one of the major loads in structural design. The self-supporting chimney together with the(…) WELDING OF REINFORCEMENT Welding of reinforcement bars is a practical means of developing the force transfer required in many connection. movable partitions. braced frame and double tube. A central core is used to house stairs and lifts and(…) LIVE LOADS FOR DIFFERENT BUILDING FLOORS Live loads are different for different buildings and structures. Generally free-standing walls are only economically viable on sites where there is sufficient space to compact the sides of the excavation to stable slope. use of tapered built-up sections which are optimized by the computerized design program and the use of continuous(…) . Central Core: By constructing a central core. STRAIN HARDENING FORMULA log(ø) = log(K)+ n x log(ε) For materials following the power law. when you plot the log-log plot. Design of Columns 6. Analysis 4.Portal Frame Design With Example Portal Frame Design with Example Design Steps: 1. more and more stress is required to produce additional plastic deformation and the metal seems to have become more stronger and more difficult to deform. A material that does not show any strain hardening(n=0) is classed as perfectly plastic. This implies that the metal is becoming stronger as the strain increases. it is called name“Strain Hardening”. . Design of slabs 2. use data points after the yield point (to avoid elastic points) and before instability (necking).e when a metal is strained beyond the yield point. Strain hardening reduces ductility and increases brittleness. The plastic portion of the true stress-strain curve (or flow stress curve) plotted on a log-log scale gives the n value as the slope and the K value as the value of true stress at true strain of one. Design of beams 5. the true stress increases continuously i. Design of footings Problem: A portal frame hinged at base has following data: Spacing of portal frames = 4m Height of columns = 4m Distance between(…) Strain Hardening In the plastic region. Hence. Such a material would show a constant flow stress irrespective of strain. Preliminary design of beams and columns 3. K can be found by substituting n and a data point (from the plastic region) in the power law or from the y-intercept. the true strainat the Ultimate Tensile Strength is equal to n.
