Advanced Structural Design
Discuss methods to resist/manage wind loads.
Discuss the relationship between the building form and wind loads.
Provide calculations for stiffening than may be required
Design a cantilever beam of span 4m using 275 grade steel. The beam is carrying a Dead load of 10kN/m
and an imposed load of 15kN/m. Calculate the bending moment, Deflection and shear force.
Design the same beam using Reinforced concrete. Calculate the bending shear and deflections.
Evaluate the types of connection that will be required for the cantilever beam.
Discuss the relationship between bending, shear and deflection.
Critically evaluate steel and reinforced concrete and their structural efficiency in managing bending, shear
and deflection.
