Architectural Design Integration

Select a floor that contains a continuous beam spanning at least three spans and the corresponding columns beneath this floor. Consider these columns as short columns for this analysis.

$\}$ If your ARCH$301$ project is a group project, make sure to select different beams and columns for the other fellow$($s$).$

$2.$ Load Calculations

$\}$ Refer to Eurocode $2$ for the type of structure you're designing.

$($ Perform load calculations based on the specifications outlined in Eurocode $2.$

C Consider dead loads, live loads, and any other applicable loads as per the structural requirements.

$3.$ Application of Loads

$($ Apply the calculated loads to the selected beams and columns within your chosen floor. Ensure precision and accuracy in load application.

$4.$ Structural Analysis

$\}$ Utilize the moment distribution method to conduct a structural analysis.

$\}$ Determine the moments at the supports, span moments, and shear forces along both the beams and columns. Maintain meticulous record$-$keeping of these values.

$5.$ Schematic Presentation of Results

$\}$ Present the obtained values of bending moments, shear forces, axial loads, and other pertinent data schematically on the structural drawings.

$\}$ Ensure clarity and accuracy in illustrating these values on the drawings.

$6.$ Beam and Column Design

$\}$ Design the beams considering both bending and shear forces in accordance with Eurocode $2$ requirements.

$\}$ Determine the required reinforcement for columns based on the specifications outlined in Eurocode $2.$
