EXAMPLE 4. METAL STUDY CONSTRUCTION WITH 3D DWG

EXAMPLE: 'DESIGN OF METAL CONSTRUCTION' 75 8. FIELD SIZING 8.1 How to size the sandals: Once you have completed the dimensioning of the connections, you can proceed to dimensioning the pedestals. The field "Peds" contains the commands for sizing the peds and the corresponding results. Select the command " Check Arming>Total " to do a total sizing of the level pedestals. Select the command and all the level pedestals are sized. The node of the pedestal, depending on the type of failure, shall be painted in the corresponding colour according to the following The skirt was sized and armed without any problems. The skirt missed. The type of failure is also indicated as a symbol above the failure indication. The failure indications are respectively the letter "Z" which means failure at limit load, the letter "e" which means failure due to load eccentricity and the letter "s" which means exceeding of the developed stress by the upper permissible stress. A prerequisite for the dimensioning of the pedestals is dimensioning of the level 1 poles OBSERVATION: In some cases it is suggested that the dimensioning of the footings be done with combinations of statics because the dynamic quantities are unmarked and not suitable for the dimensioning of the foundation. As is well known, seismic intensities derived from dynamic analysis are unlabeled because they result from the superposition of the eigenmodal responses. In the diagrams and wherever there is a necessity to superimpose them, they are always used with positive values. And for the dimensioning of the elements there is no problem because the combinations include them with both signs but in cases such as the dimensioning of the pedestal where magnitudes are used for each combination from each element the situation may turn out unfavourable. For this reason I recommended you to solve the sandals with static combinations.
