Hello,
I was wondering if anyone of you analyzed U-shaped building? I am trying to apply wind loads to the structure and I have a lot of doubts, especially in case, when wind force is perpendicular to shorter direction.
1) Am I right assuming, that main dimensions of the building will be L and...
I was hoping to receive suggestions on figuring out various mean roof heights in building (significant for wind load evaluation). Structure has mainly a flat roof, with attic walls on its perimeter. But in elevetors location there are two "pop-ups", that tower over basic roof level (11 ft...
Thank you for the reply,
I' m just wondering, how will structure react for superimposing that load case.
In basic load case (before multiplying by 0.75) I have 206,3 lb/ft (for highest story). To obtain torsion, I applied trapezoidal load pattern (semirigid diaphragm)with values 15.5 and 294...
I tried to get proper values of wind load pressure for torsional cases.
However I obtained quite big values and I don't know if its correct approach.
I assumed torsional loading pattern (for semirigid diaphragm).
I used moment & force equilibrium equations, in order to get PWX1 and PWX2.
Input...
Could anyone explain to me Figure 27.4-8 in ASCE-10, showing torsional loading cases (2&4)?
Should I put to the structure uniformly distributed load + MT, or only MT?
That scheme is quite confusing to me.
Thanks for any advice ;)
Hi,
I'm beginner user of ASCE Minimum Design Loads.
After analysis of Wind Load Directional Procedure I've got some doubts concerning wind load cases.
Firstly, I thought, that Figure 27.4-1 shows basic Wind Load case, with windward and leeward side wind load for walls and roofs.
But then, I...
