To construct a warehouse the frame system shown in fig I had been adopted. as an engineer your task is to analyse the mid frame, highlighted in RED. slabs 1 and 2 are made of in-situ cast reinforced concrete and have a thickness of 150mm.( fog 2) for simplicity we assume that half the weight of each slab is transferred to Beam 1.( fig 2). In addition, a water tank full of water with a weight of 1042kg (1000 L of water plus weight of the tank) will be installed in the middle of Beam 1.(fig 2). All the beams are made of reinforced concrete and have a standard size of 225mm x 600mm. note that the density of reinforced concrete is 2500kg/m^3. estimate the loads applied on the beam 1 including the load transferred from slabs 1 and 2(self-weight of slabs), the self-weight of Beam 1and the water tank load. note that the water tank load may be idealised as a point load. please also note that there are also other types, which should be considered for practical design, but for simplicity they are not considered here. (a) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to surrounding beams (simplified case)(b) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to Beam 1 Figure 2 Load transfer from slabs to beams in the warehouse frame system Figure 3 The middle frame (a) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to surrounding beams (simplified
case)
(b) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to Beam 1
Figure 2 Load transfer from slabs to beams in the warehouse frame system Calculate the normal stress and shear stress acting on an element G,150mm
from the top surface of the beam, in the section G to the left of the point load
Fwt(water tank load) as shown in the bottom figure and then determine the
principal planes and the principal stresses.
