Design philosophies
1. Allowable stress design 2. working stress design (for concrete) 3. ultimate stress design
Limit state:
A condition beyond which a structural system or a structural component ceases to fulfill the funtion for which it is designed.
Ductility:
Ability of a structure to go through in-elastic deformation without rupture.
Redundancy:
it is the ability to redistribute the load. Simple beam is determinate. Fixed beam is indeterminate by 2 degrees so it has two redundant actions. fixed supported beam is more better as indeterminate structure can redistribute the load. When load increases support becomes plastic and it turns into a simply supported beam. But simply supported does not go through the stage of plastic hinge rather they fail directly.
Hardness:
It is the ability to resist abrasion.
Steel Strength:
Maximum load which an object can resist. OR it is the maximum load that the steel can resist before failure. Steel is said to be failed when it has yielded. It is thus called yield strength
Toughness:
Ability of a structure or structural component to absorb energy.
Fatigue:
It is a progressive, localized permanent damage under fluctuating stress.
Advantages of LRFD
LRFD accounts for both variability in load and resistence. It achieves fairly uniform levels of safety for different limit states.
ASD combines dead and live loads and treats them in the same way. In lrfd different load factors are assigned to dead loads and live loads, which is appealing. Changes is load factors and resistence factors are much easier to make in lrfd.
Design process
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Preliminary member sizing of beams Structural analysis - modeling, analysis Design review - member modifications Cost of estimation Preparation of structural drawings and specifications Loads for structural analysis and design 1. Dead load 2. Live load 3. Mean return period OR 4. Recurrence interval OR 5. Live loads for various occupencies 6. Reduction in basic design live load 7. Impact Load 8. Wind load
1. Adaptations to site:
If the structure is a building, for instance, the designer must create a plan that has suitable arrangement for rooms, corridors, stairways, windows, elevators, emergency exits etc and all this plan should be adapted to site so that it is feasible, accepted aesthetically and at a reasonable cost. This is called funtional planning.
2. Structural scheme:
structural scheme is dependent on funtional planning. Structural scheme includes the location of columns in the buildings, it is to be worked out with the funtional plan and sufficent space must be anticipated between finished ceiling and finished floor for location of columns.
3. Structural analysis:
Once loads are defined and design is laid out, structural analysis must be performed to determine internal forces that will be produced in various members of the framework. Assumptions must be made and it should be ensured that structure in reality also behaves as it is supposed to (and as it was assumed to behave).
4. Proportionality of members:
Members must be proportioned with factor of safety in mind.
5. Factor of safety:
The development of design specifications to provide suitable values of the margin of safety, reliability and probability of failure must take into consideration the following factors. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Variability of the material with respect to strength and other physical properties Uncertainity in the expected loads Precision with which internal forces are calculated Possibility of corrosion Extent of damage, loss of life Operational importance Quality of workmanship
The design safety of structures may be evaluated in either of the two ways: A. Allowable Stress Design B. Load and resistance factor design
5. Safety is applied only to stress level. Loads are considered to be uniform. If not, only option is the factor of safety.
