Question: A timber deck as shown below is used as a shop floor for the sale and display of merchandise in a shopping complex in Brisbane,
A timber deck as shown below is used as a shop floor for the sale and display of merchandise in a shopping complex in Brisbane, Queensland. Timber floor sheeting is mm thick and has a density of mathrmkgmathrmm
a Joist spacing Z m centres joist span Y m crosssection mm x mm
The density of the joists kgm
Calculate the line load G of the typical joist in the unit of kNm
bYou are now asked to use the relevant design standard to calculate the line load Q in the unit of kNm for the typical joist chosen in a
cThe joist spacing Z is now changed to m With this new spacing, the line load G of the typical joist has become kNm and you are now tasked to calculate the line load G of the bearer. Below is the following additional design information:
Joist span Y is now m
The bearer is supported by the post in the middle and two wall hangers at two ends.
Bearer span X m; bearer crosssection mm mm
The density of bearers kgmwhich is higher than the density of joists and floor sheeting.
dContinuing from c use the relevant design standards to calculate the line load Q in the unit of kNm for one bearer.
e Assuming below are the final line load values of the bearer:
Line load G kNm
Line load Q kNm
Find the critical strength limit state load combination for this bearer, in the unit of kNm
Enter the magnitude of this critical load combination, rounded to the nearest significant figures.
In addition, draw a line load diagram for this combination for submission of working notes at the end The diagram should have all the details needed for further analysis.
