Problem #1 The single-story building with the plan view shown below carries its self-weight, an unfactored superimposed dead load of 20psf and an unfactored live load of 60psf. The two slabs, S1 and S2, are both one-way slabs (since ratio of long to short side >2) and, therefore, transfer area loads to the supporting beams along their short direction. The overall thickness of each slab is 6". The structure is made of normalweight concrete that has unit weight wc=150lbft3.
a) Determine the uniformly distributed loads that are applied to the rectangular beams due to total dead (D) and total live (L) loads. Dead loads due to the self-weight of structural members shall be computed.
b) Create a three-dimensional frame model of the structure in SAP2000(slab not modeled) and analyze the structure for the governing load combination of 1.2D+1.6L. The story height is h=12' and the building is fixed at its base. Display the bending moment diagrams and show their values (M3-3 and M2-2) in SAP2000. Provide screenshots of such bending moment diagrams.
