Project Data:\ Setup a smart grid as follows:

8@5ft

in the

x

-direction and

1@5ft

in the

y

-direction\ Use

A36

Gr 36 double angles\ Using the section sets menu create labels for BC, TC, VERT, and DIAG.\ Add

z

-translation restraints to all joints\ Add

x

and

y

-rotational restraints at all joints\ All members are required to have hinges (bending releases) at both ends\ Add -1 to the

y

-direction in the basic load cases menu\ Enter dead, live and seismic load categories in the basic loads menu\ Apply Pdead ext

=0.5k

and Plive ext

=0.75k

. Use Pdead int

=1.0k

and Plive int

=1.5k

. Apply

Eh=+-2k

applied at the top nodes. Divide the force by the number of top nodes.\ Enter the following load combinations:\

1.2D+1.6L

\ 1.2D+1.0Eh

+L

\ 1.2DL-1.0Eh

+L

\

0.9DL+1.0Eh

\ 0.9DL-1.0Eh\ Other load combinations are required for final design but are NOT necessary for this study\ Keep all unity checks below or at 1.0\ Use AISC

360-16

strength design\ Vertical deflection

-(L)/(240)

for total load\ After suggested shapes are accepted make sure the sizes are not too different size wise for connection design

Project Data: 1. Setup a smart grid as follows: 8@5ft in the x-direction and 1@5ft in the y-direction 2. Use A36Gr36 double angles 3. Using the section sets menu create labels for BC, TC, VERT, and DIAG. 4. Add z-translation restraints to all joints 5. Add x and y-rotational restraints at all joints 6. All members are required to have hinges (bending releases) at both ends 7. Add -1 to the y-direction in the basic load cases menu 8. Enter dead, live and seismic load categories in the basic loads menu 9. Apply Pdead ext =0.5k and Plive ext =0.75k. Use Pdead int =1.0k and Plive int =1.5k. Apply Eh=2k applied at the top nodes. Divide the force by the number of top nodes. 10. Enter the following load combinations: - 1.2D+1.6L - 1.2D+1.0Eh+L - 1.2DL-1.0Eh+L - 0.9DL+1.0Eh - 0.9DL1.0Eh Other load combinations are required for final design but are NOT necessary for this study 11. Keep all unity checks below or at 1.0 12. Use AISC 36016 strength design 13. Vertical deflection L/240 for total load 14. After suggested shapes are accepted make sure the sizes are not too different size wise for connection design
