INTRO:
For the course project, you will need to design all the components of a steel building, then use the design to calculate the total weight of the building's structure, the total cost of the building's structure, and the total carbon dioxide emission created by the building's structure.
GIVEN:
The steel building is four stories tall and has a 60'x60' plan area on each floor. Each group has a unique floor plan assigned to you, see floor plan for additional framing information.
Loading:
Roof Dead Load -30psf
Roof Live Load -30psf
Floor 2-5 Dead Load -60psf (including weights of members, floor finishes, walls/partitions, ceilings, mechanical equipment, etc.)
Floor 2-5 Live Load -40psf (Office Space)
Columns supports are pinned/pinned
Beams & Girders are Wide Flange sections
Girders MUST be at least the same depth as the beam
Columns are HSS Sections .
Cost of steel framing (including materials, fabrication, and installation)=$7500? ton ($15,000/kip)
Assume 2 tons of CO2 are emitted for each ton of steel (1 ton of CO2 for each kip of steel)
REQUIRED:
Design Beam 2 on the roof. Design for:
a. Maximum Moment
b. Maximum Shear
c. Total Load Deflection
Design Girder B on the roof. Design for:
a. Maximum Moment
b. Maximum Shear
c. Total Load Deflection
Design Column B-2 between the 4th floor and the roof. Design for
a. Maximum Axial Load
Design Beam 2 on floor 2. Design for:
a. Maximum Moment
b. Maximum Shear
c. Total Load Deflection
